Time to be real again as I’ve not posted about my weight in months! 😬
As a lot of you know, I was sharing my journey about having weight loss surgery to help us with our IVF journey 👶
My surgery was cancelled back in April because I couldn’t tolerate the liver reduction diet, due to coming off my medication for my Ulcerative Colitis, which put me into a really bad flare, back to over 20 toilet trips, blood, mucus, I felt so poorly!
Due to feeling mega disappointed, lost, upset, frustrated, I gave up, I gave up everything I was doing as I felt like the goal was just too far to reach on my own.
Skipping a few months, calls back and forth from all my consultants, my Gastro Dr wrote a letter to the weightloss team and said they don’t advise I have surgery due to the complications of my conditions and coming off my medications, I’ll just be back to where I was before and it wasn’t worth the risk coming off my medication that was keeping me well..
They toyed with the idea of the injections, but again with my conditions they weren’t sure I’d get the funding.. When I tried to go private for the injections I was declined because I have Ulcerative Colitis! 😩
I just feel as everything is a no all the time because I have health conditions! No one knows what to do so I just get put off and put off all the time!
So this week I put on my big pants, gave my head a wobble and said I lost 3 stone before without help, I can do another 3! So I’m going to put all my effort into doing this again! ❤️
Years of steroids, PCOS, Ulcerative Colitis, HS, I will beat you all.
This week I’ve lost a tad over 4lbs 😱
I’ve cut carbs, upped my steps on the walking pad everyday and stuck at doing 65 lengths twice a week even with my skin flaring!
I have an appointment in October with the weightloss team, so my goal is to loose as much as I can before then, to show my commitment and whatever is thrown at me, I’ve got! 💪
Weightloss is hard, health conditions are pants, it’s okay to fall sometimes, but just remember to ALWAYS pick yourself back up eventually! 🥹
