Cambridge Diet part II

Tara4737

Well, after my first shake i was hoping the tetra pack was better, and thank god it was!!! The relief was immense lol, i would live on just that if it came to it, but gonna try the stawberry tetra later not sure im gonna like that one but got to giv it a go. Gonna hav a soup first as i can have 4 pks so ill save the strawberry one tonight. Im feeling great no headaches and not hungry AT ALL! Been sipping my bottles of water all day, trips to the loo gettin on my nerves as dont usually go much.
Cant wait until weigh in now im feelin good...hope it doesnt change!

Hey all,

Hope everyone had a good weekend! and welcome Tara. I have had a good weekend amin to my 18th day now and am feeling fine. Have stayed a 100% but still a few arguements with myself. My boyfriends mum is buying me little gifts for each stone I loose which is a real incentive and so sweet of her.

I am a little upset as I dont know what my CDC will sayto me on thursday. I ad a letter from my doctor today regarding the diet, and have stated that i need blood tests before going on it! i'm thinking ooops she already started me. Either way i feel brilliant and it is working. My Doctor also wants me to pay for him to sign the document my CDC sent him! Which I think is a bit odd, considering they were talking to me about the gastric band before christmas and this is why i decided to choose this route! so I dont know what my CDC will say but I am praying she doesnt pull me off it untill I get it sorted as I will just give up!

Sorry for the rant, but I'm a bit worried as I dont want to stop!

Anyway other than that I am doing brilliantly!

Tara, I hated the taste of most things especialy the soups, but now I quite enjoy everything now. I always have porridge in the morning (the original) half a shake for lunch and a soup in the evening and half a shake later. sometimes I freeze a tetra and have half of that after half a soup so I feel like I had pudding. I'm sure everyone has their own way and you will find what best suits you as time goes on.

Hope everyone has a good CD day!

br33ni - if the doctor says you need blood tests/have to pay to sign the form, I imagine that the CDC will have to take you off.

On LL, which is basically the same as CD, if your BMI is above a certain level, you HAVE to have official medical sign off to do the diet, or your CDC isn't insured to sell your packs....maybe try a different doctor at the surgery, to see if (s)he has a different opinion?

Well i couldnt get weighed today because she couldnt get out to me, So am weighing in tomorow at 2,30 she is coming to my house, Im not expecting much due to my trip and eating in cornwall but thats cool.

Br33ni thats a bum about the docs! I hope your CDc lets you carry on until things are sorted for you! .. will keep my fingies crossed

I had a job interview today at a care home in our village and she said i could have the job once my CRB check is back .. i have one problem ... the shift is 8pm till 8am .. and im not sure what ill do in the mornings as we only have 1 car and normally i drop OH at work (still local) and then i have the car for school runs etc .. he has to be at work for 8am Not sure how flexible they would be if i were to ask to leave work 15 mins early and maybe start 15 mins early .. hohum!

Well, just finished my last shake, it was a tetra pk, strawberry and it didnt taste too bad but not as nice as the chocci one. Felt fine all day not been hungry and no headache, but just feel bit strange now its the evening as usually have a nibble. Im not starving though, but then its only day 1, hope i feel same tomorrow.
My leek and potato soup was yum earlier too, so pleased about that...lets hope i can do this. Roll on tommorow!!:T

Big congrats to HWGA and kittkins :j:j:j

Well done on your first day Tara, I'm glad you're liking the shakes - the first week is about figuring out what you like and what you dont like. In regards to weight lose I lost 13lb my first week, 2lb ny second, stayed the same on my 3rd and lost 4lb last week but I have a LOT of weight to lose.

Piratess - I'm sure you'll be fine, make sure you let us know how you get on tomorrow

Skint - I do have the same username on another forum - I'm not imaginitive enough to think up two names

br33ni - I'm sorry to hear that the doctor wants you to have bloods before you can start the diet but I'm guessing he just has your best interests in heart

I'm forcing my 3rd shake down - I've been struggling to have all 3 shakes recently and feel full after 2 in a day. I never thought I'd say that 4 weeks ago

I've also been hitting the wii ft this week - I have targeted myself 30 minutes day but I did an hour and 4 minutes yesterday and 1 hour and 1 minute today - granted most of it is free step on and off the board bt it means that get an extra 3000 steps in each day

Happy Cambridging!!

Gooooood Morninggggggggggg happy campers ...
The sun is shining but is soooooooo cold! ..

StokeGal im exactly the same! i am really struggling to have 3 a day altho i think if i had one for breaky it would be fine but i panic that if i do have one before mid day i wont have any for later should i need one haha ! ....
Im looking forward to having a chat with my CDC later she is back on the wagon also and ill discuss my wayward weekend in cornwall lol ... and hop on the scales!
Its not until 2.30 but i hate drinking when ive got w.i so will probably end up with a headache or somthing! ..

Ive got to sort out my notice later out later on and hand it in tomorow not sure i can do it by just going to see them ...

anyhoo have a lovely day ill be back after 2.30 to report


Tara hope you have a great day 2 you sound really positive in your posts well done

Good luck with the weigh in piratess - mine will be in the morning!

I am coping okay, but have awful wind:o Not had this problem on CD in the past, but the W8 foodpacks are different and think that may be the problem. I have 9 days worth left so will give it another few days and see if it settles down, otherwise I may need to look at another brand:(

piratess

SBS .. eeek at the wind problem lol ...
i dont suffer atall with wind . but before CD wowsers! ... ~blush~
makes me wonder if i was allergic to certain food types lol ...

Good luck to you for tomorow

Hiya

Day 37 for me :T Can't believe it, i've not managed more than a couple of odd days here and there for about 3 years Can finally start to see the light at the end of the tunnel....well almost....30lb down 60lb to go :T

Wasn't very well yesterday ended up going home, without giving too much info away, lets just say i couldn't keep anything inside me.... packs went straight through me:o not sure if this is going to be a help or a hinderence at weigh in this week, my CDC did say to have an additional pack yesterday but i just couldn't face it !:D

Hope your all doing well, keep going !!
