Cate's Diary

I couldn't log on for hours & then I tried again & voila. I was logged on automatically & it all looked the same again.
I had thought- well there goes almost 10 years of my diary!
I would have contacted allcdnboy, but it was a shock.
G has lost 4kg since his op! He's eating well. I think it may be the no alcohol. There's a lesson there I think( for me).
 
O wow, that's a lot! 4kg in two weeks just from alcohol would mean he takes in... 2000 kcal of drink a day :D I doubt that! I haven't a clue how much tissue would have been removed and if that would play a role but I would assume that recovery from surgery just takes a lot of energy. Glad he's got an appetite though!
 
He doesn't LaMa. A couple of ciders or wine- 300- 400 cals max per day. It must be the op. He did have 2 fasting days & 1 liquids only. His appetite is back to normal now :)
 
Wow, he's lost a ton of weight.. A lesson to be learnt, indeed. Wish the same could be said for me! Hope all is well, lovely lady. Thinking about you and G lots this weekend so glad to hear things are okay x
 
LaMa- I sometimes wish I didn't have an appetite, but then I enjoy good food & I don't think that's a bad thing. Moderation, moderation, moderation...
Han- Same with alcohol. A little of something nice shouldn't be a problem. That's the key I think. I love a nice wine. We should be having a little of something nice. I have self-imposed limits.
I'm sure G's weight loss is not because he was alcohol free for about 10 days. His appetite disappeared & a major constipation had him scared to eat. He's right now. Only one more sleep until he goes in & hopefully has his catheter removed. We're hopeful that the test results will give him the all clear. We'll tackle anything together.
Our house is getting tidier & tidier & I am fixing stuff, gardening, organizing things...I am being very productive. We are usually so busy with the golf club that our personal stuff gets neglected.
As soon as G gets the all clear I'm booking our next holiday. Sri Lanka is looking like the next one, followed by Venice/Greece & Greek Islands.
 
Our secretary had an abcess in hetxthroat a while back and lost almost ten kilos in three weeks :eek: There's no way I want to go thrue what she did but the thought of getting pretty much where I want to be with just a few weeks of being miserable... then I remind myself that I couldn't not eat for three weeks unless someone physically restrained me. My body is generally more sensible than the rest of me.
 
Ohhh Sri Lanka will be fantastic - I've not been but hear it's beautiful. You guys will deserve a holiday! Fingers crossed for the all clear x
 
Oh, wow. 10kg in 3 weeks! You know, LaMa I think I lost 10kg the 1st month of my diet back in 2007. Amazing really. I'm not sure I could follow that diet now.
Sri Lanka looks beautiful Han. A holiday will be lovely! Thanks for the good wishes xoxo
I woke before 5 this morning & can't get back to sleep! I'll try again in a sec. The birds are SO noisy!
 
I could only get in through e-mails of new forum replies the other day. Glad things are fixed. Glad you didn't lose your diary. Have fun planning your vacation.
 
G's Catheter is out. YAY!!! Now he has to get used to peeing again, having control etc. Happy Days!
We didn't see the specialist but we think all's well. Doctor next week, Specialist mid January :)
I picked up G's new golf bag & buggy & got fitted for my new clubs. I'll go back in the new year with G to actually select my clubs. I miss playing golf.
 
Woohoooo! Yay for untied bladders :) That must be a relief for both of you.

Do you miss the golf club, too? ;)
 
He feels like a new man! He said it was his best Christmas present ever.
I have not been worrying about my weight for the last couple of weeks & have not felt like leaving G alone to go for a big walk or play golf. (No, LaMa, I have not missed the golf club. :) The break has been lovely).
R is coming up on Sat for 2 nights & D & the kids are coming up C night & probably all sleeping here.
I'll weigh myself next Tuesday & maybe do a FD(<500cals). I'll see. I would like to go have a hit of golf maybe on my own, one day next week.
I'm just rambling this morning so will skedaddle. Life will start feeling normal again soon, but I would like to drop some things permanently, like the amount of time we spend doing stuff we don't want to at the golf club.
That's the plan.
xoxo Cate
