Bit of a catch up
Its been quite a while since i visited this site and wrote on my blog. Dont know if anyone will still remember me or even be interested - but for my own benefit i wanted to catch everyone up things.
Well i did really well and managed to maintain my weight for several months - eating low fat - but the pain from the gallstones gradually got worse and worse. I ending up not being able to eat ANYTHING at all
withhout being in absoloute agaony.
I became a regular in A&E deperately in need of Morphine injections to give me some relief from the constant pain. In the end i was on Morphine tablets 3 times a day, and then had Oromorph - liquid Morphine - on top of that when i was having an attack. My life pretty much seemed like a blur - i couldnt function properly at all, constantly of work - no good at all Eventually they brought my op forward and on the 5th March i had my gallbladder out. They found 16 gallstones.
I had keyhole surgery and recovered really quickly and unfortunately began to try the foods i had missed for so long - needless to say over the last couple of weeks i have put about 10 lbs back on - but i have reigned it in now.
Ive decided to try Weightwatchers points - so any tips from you proffessionals much appreciated. I want to try this healthily this time - good food - more exercise - rather than go to the extreme of cambridge again.
Wish me luck folks. I'm going to catch up now on bloggs etc.
