Surgeon Testimonial

Alberic Fiennes, M.D.
He's one of THE Fiennes and he's your typical British Consultant - a bit stiff at first but he's a really warm and committed professional, incredibly hard working and knowledgeable. His wife Louise is also his nurse and secretary and she's very approachable.

I couldn't recommend him more highly - I did a lot of research and Mr. Fiennes is one of the most well known and eminent bariatic surgeons in the country.

Dropped under 16stone today!!!
on January 26, 2007 3:14 pm
Am 15st11! Hooray! 

I was sick ALL day yesterday. It started with my eating some cottage cheese with chives, too fast, and then I threw up, and nothing would stay down. In the end I went back to bed to try and calm my tummy down but I was still sick when I got up!

Sent H to the shop for some ice lollies and started to feel better, but I was really tired so headed off for an early night. It was a shame because we were going to go the pictures and I was really looking forward to see "the pursuit of happiness" but it wasn't to be.

H was SO good about it all - he gave me lots of hugs and said that he knew we'd have days like this! What a darling!

Anyway, my plateau is truely busted!! And I can't believe how loose my clothes feel! It's great!

38 days out, 31 lbs down and still losing!
on January 23, 2007 1:59 pm
The big change lately has been in inches rather than pounds, and I've wiggled into my size 16 jeans!! Yey! (That's a US size 12) 
Surprisingly my feet feel smaller too, and I've been wearing more heels too! 

I went to see some relatives and they all said I was looking really well, and that my face looked thinner too. For UK people, I'm down 2 stone so that's easily enough to notice!

I went out with my old girlfriends last weekend and felt like I ate crap all weekend, but when I look back, it was about 1% of what I would have got through pre-op! It slowed my weight loss a bit, but I'm still losing about 4 lbs a week and I'm sure that will vary with other factors.

Occassionally I fancy a big curry but I'm still struggling with meat, and the only thing I can tolerate is fish fingers! 

Wine is still making me gip a bit but I had a couple of gin and tonics the other night and it was very pleasant!

The thing I've missed the most is my Multibionta tablet every morning, and shortly I should be able to take it again soon!

15 days out AND over Christmas and New Year!
on January 1, 2007 4:37 pm

Down to 16st-11 (235lbs) and wiggled myself into a pair of trousers I bought in May, in a UK 18 (US16) I'd never worn them as they were a good half a size too small. Anyway, they were fine at first but they kept sliding down! 

There are two pairs of jeans that I'm about 4lbs off wearing. And I wore my highest heels and they fitted fine - so nice to wear them without having sore feet!

I did lapse into a chinese meal the other night. i had stir fried tofu which was fine, but I also had a couple of mouthfulls of noodles and then was constipated terribly. I had 3 (yes three, count 'em) doses of laxatives and was considering heading to the chemist for some tnt suppositories, but then it all moved. It was like the mud of the Mersey! So today, I've taken it easy and am back to soup and yoghurt for a few days. I think it's the egg which is disagreeing with me.

I still have massive paranoias about my not being able to lose weight, or keep it off. I can't quite believe I've lost the weight I have, already. And I haven't so much as touched any wine since a few days before my op, so there are plenty of missing calories there! New Year's Eve was odd, just sitting there with a mineral water, but it was fine really. 

I'm still cross at my aunt telling everyone I'd been ill (i told her I'd had my gallstones out), and she's emailed the world. It's annoying. If I hear anymore about "how are you, and your stones?" I'm going to tell her I've had my ovaries drilled, which should shut her up. I know it's well meaning but I wish she'd mither about something else.....

Back to work tomorrow. I wish it was as interesting as sitting on my arse, thinking about what clothes I can buy when I'm thinner.
