Guest guest Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Well here it is a beautiful day... I am home alone - and bored to sods again. I have weighed myself and could cry as I have put on a kilo since last week. That was cutting out the wine for four days - stopping lemon cordial for 5 days - being more thoughtful as to eating protien before vegetables - and p.b.ing almost everything yesterday. I also threw in some walking last week to try and get things moving... as usual, it does the opposite to me and I gain! So, to say I am a bit down in the dumps is probably an understatement. I woke through the night with the worst pain in my chest everytime I swallowed, that I got up thinking I had done some sort of major damage... the pain was awful. I am sure that it is probably just the effects of the violent heaving. So, another week - and I will try again to see if I can eat better and walk a little bit and if not, I am going to kill myself because I am sick and tired of being fat and not being able to eat, but not loosing either... it is totally and utterly miserable to be only able to eat the tiny bits that I do once or twice a day. I know I ate at the restaurant on Saturday - but I didn't think that I ate much at all. Mel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Poor Mel, I'm feeling so sorry for you. Why is it when you're trying to be good that you're kind of getting punished for it ? Well done for cutting out wine and cordial. Bummer that you didn't get the result you deserved. To say that your band seems to have an issue with you sometimes seems to be a gross understatement ! I went to the medical exam today and ended up with an referral to see an endocrinologist. The doc at HSA wasn't concerned about my weight, my band, my eye surgeries etc. What he picked on was my PCOS and he lectured me on related problems that could possibly come up - hence the need for a report from the endocrinologist in order to complete the HSA report for the immigration office. AAARRRGGGGHHHHHH !!! So I'll see my GP on Wednesday to get a referral for the endocrinologist. Just when I thought all is fine... Seems to be a neverending story...

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 I have PCOS as well. I am surprised that any doctor these days doesn't know the ins and outs of PCOS as it is one of the leading causes of infertility. But then again I can believe the bull crap that HSA puts you through. My hubby went through the same thing when migrating from the States. Because he had lived in Japan they made him go through the TB exam not once but twice. They thought he was a suspected carrier. Please!!!! he was in the Marine Corps. Those guys are pretty damn thorough with their medical stuff.. Kellie Re: Monday Morning...

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2007 Report Share Posted April 16, 2007 Mel, You sound so disheartened and I really don't blame you. I don't know that I have any advice that you haven't already heard though, I know how hard you have tried. I really think the weight gain this week may be because you aren't eating enough and you have slipped into starvation mode. I would advise you to eat more but I know you do try, as I said I have no real advice, but I wanted to tell you that you are in my thoughts and I truly hope something positive happens with your band very soon.
