WELL THAT OLD INFECTION KNOCKED ME FOR SIX & FOLLOWED WITH A BOUT OF DEPRESSION THAT I JUST COULD NOT LIFT THE LID ON. FOUND SOLACE VIA COMFORT EATING AND MUCH TOO MUCH SITTING AROUND ON MY BACKSIODE. COUCH POTATO THAT'S ME!
NOW A STONE HEAVIER THAN WHEN WE FIRST MET BUT HAVE NO MOTIVATION TO STICK WITH THE HEALTHY EATING, GOT TO GIVE MYSELF SOME COUNSELLING AND TRY TO GET SOME MOTIVATION FROM SOMEPLACE. ALL I CAN SAY IS HELP...HELP,,,HELP :(
Yes i am feeling sorry for myself & despite reassurences the wound is infected. Having salt baths & antibiotics, which hopefully will kick in soon. I feel washed out & weak, Hot & horrible. Appetite poor but the wight still stays on & my body is maintaing fluid. Toying with the idea of joining weight watchers but why pay to do what i already know how to do. Maybe i should go just for the support as that seems in little or no supply from everywhere else.
The staple's should have come out on monday but the wound is gaping & leaking fluid. Although i am assured there is no infection in the area. I have a secondary infection by way of a sore throat. Popping painkillers & iron tablets have left me constipated & uncomfortable, even though i keep shovelling high levels of fruit & fibre through the system. People tell me i will feel better for it but i am still waiting. I cant lift of stretch or do much & tho my man is a godsend doing all the cooking, cleaning & caring i feel so useless & bored & i never get bored! Astill its early days & time is the healer so i must not let it all drag me down. Take care all friends catch up soon x
If anyone out there missed me i am sorry but have been otherwise detained in hospital. A simple hysterectomy turned into three hours of surgery to seperate various twisted intestines & bowels & though they assure me i will soon feel better for it i actually feel very drained & sore. Been nil by mouth before op & light diet following i maybe at last have lost a little weight. They didn't do the tummy tuck i had asked for as an added bonus or any lipo suction so its down to me now to stay on the healthy eating track. My appetitte is low anyway. Am stapled from hip to hip & it's not pretty. But its good to be home. Hospitals serve their purpose but there aint nothin like your own sweet bed. Back soon
Its not a real diet but it is healthy eating. My main priority is making sure i have a good breakfast consisting of some fruit & fibre & a bit of protien. I have got quite hooked on smoothies they are so quick & easy to deal with. And not to mince words they go through the system pretty quick which has got to be good :)
Lunch ive been going for salads or something light & main meals fish, meat with either pasta or potatoes & packed out with vege or salad. My weakness is still my sweet tooth but i find low fat yoghurts or ice cream satisfy my cravings.
I have to admit that & stopping the snacking i do feel much better in myself.
I am not yet painfree however & tommorrow i face hospital for various tests.
