Sleepless

Why won’t my brain catch up with my body My eyes are heavy I need the sleep My mind starts singing or over thinking things I try to count Think of a pitch black space to darken the brightness in my head Thoughts rebel and put a disco on instead It’s like my minds on

Calming

I was just watching Tess Daly do an interview about her new book. During the interview she discussed breathing techniques, breathing in for 4 and out for 6 etc. this helps calm her when she is trying to sleep and can’t switch off. Now even that doesn’t work for me. But I use the one

WLS Regrets

Don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with my results but, and this is the big one, I still have regrets, I didn’t know I’d have to take the stomach enzymes with everything I eat for life, due to complications this is me now having to swallow tablets as I eat with everything even snacks, I

Personal Problems here

Times, personally are difficult right now for our family. *Update The eye hospital wasn’t too concerned and regular monitoring is now scheduled, they were more worried about my husband potentially having diabetes and high blood pressure so they are now being checked. One big relief and weight gone! He is now at home resting as

Can’t sleep

Because my mind refuses to stop singing, ‘ GET THIS PARTY STARTED’ by Pink. I’ve not even heard this song for ages, maybe it was on an advertisement or maybe this is the start of a migraine, pain medication or stress; but I guarantee by the early hours I’ll be sick of this song. I’ll

Bariatric side effect

Not for you, oh no, for your significant other/husband/wife/partner. My husband now complains that he is putting weight on because I’m self conscious about leaving my food if we eat out. It’s true, but I know he’s unhappy about it. When we are out I don’t always want to eat off the starter Menu or

Bariatric Downs…

I havent posted for a while. Six days and it feels like months ago, time goes very slow when you don’t feel your best. Sorry for the last photo! But anyway, after I was discharged I went on an outpatient waiting list. 6-8 weeks. Despite me saying how sick I was on the tube feed.

Feeling a little let down

I’ve had a great 15 day stay at the hotel NHS Hospital where I have seen first hand the hard work and effort the nurses put in to caring above and beyond their duties for those admitted. However, I’ve also experienced the miscommunication between consultants, difference of opinions resulting in differing advice and therefore ultimately

Bless Our NHS

But damn the Tories and Branson. As I sat in A&E, at 7am, on Tuesday, doubled in pain, I look up and see the wait time list, 10 hours. Now luckily for me I guess, I’m not here with a break, I’m here with internal pain around my stomach and gall bladder and having had

Let it go

I realised I’ve been holding onto so much. Thoughts, opinions, things that are none of my concern because other peoples actions aren’t my issue and their thoughts their own not mine. I’m letting it all go, I don’t care because it’s none of my business too. I am only responsible for what I think and
