First hospital appointment out of the way, got just the result I wanted. They want to operate on my gall-bladder, which is great. The pain is so unbearable at times. I was worried that they would refuse because of my BMI. However, we did agree that we would wait a little longer so that I can lose a little more weight and get our adoption sorted out. Surgeon told me if the pain got too unbearable to phone and bring my next appointment forward. I really feel like he put the ball in my court and I am very happy with that. So that gives me an incentive for a new goal. My next appointment is in late November so I am hoping to lose at least one and a half stones for that appointment in 27 weeks time and hopefully two stones. Crikey! Just trying to imagine that in 6 months I will be 2 stones lighter!!
The other goal is a mini-goal and with my track record of STS and low WI's it might not be achievable but I am going to give it my best shot. So I aim to lose half a stone in the next 5 weeks. I usually average 1lb per week so I may struggle but if i could do it, well it would be the best birthday present ever! My birthday falls precisely on the 5th weigh-in. If I do lose that half a stone, on the same day I will achieve the following:
- Hit 2 stone loss
- Get my 10% award
- Get into the obese range of BMI instead of morbidly obese
I have started working towards it by upping my water intake, weighing anything I can. So fingers crossed, I can do this!
