Hi there, keeping a diary of everything ou eat or drink is a good idea. I'm a slow loser. But I'm getting there. Remember this is your journey. Lots of people think surgery is a miracle cure for...

Just a quick update Jennie, I went out last night with some girl friends I haven't seen since February. I told 2 of my girls, they had both mentioned my weightloss (although its not extreme it's...

I made my decision WITH my mums support. I told my oldest sister & immediate work manager about a month prior to surgery. I told my middle sister 3 or 4 days after, take a look at my blog. It's not...

Niamh it's kinda pineappley /coconuty fruity sweet. But not too sweet. It mixes like a juice.

You didn't wimp out, it's just not the right time for you. This is a big decision & commitment for the rest of your life. Good luck with everything, you might even find a different solution & lose...

Hi all,

I have struggled to find a paletable protein powder here in the UK. I've spree hundreds of pounds, to only have a powder, that has a funky texture & weird taste! Yuk! Yuk! & double yuk!!!...

Super photos! Thank you so much for sharing. I was around the same starting weight as you & same body shape too so I know how difficult this will have been. You have great courage, can I say you...

Best wishes, for successful treatment & a full recovery xxx

Im the same! Had my sleeve in September & losing sooo slow. At about the same rate as you. Im disabled so excercise is difficult. Any excercise you do should be something you enjoy. Its all well &...

Babe i was sleeved 8 weeks ago & my weight loss is sooooo slow! Dont weigh yourself daily! EVER! To lose 1lb you need to use up 3500 calories, we need 2000 to tick over so that would need a deficit...

Glad you're doing well Mike, take it easy & rest & sip.

I agree the hard thing is not drinking while you eat. I started timing my 30 minutes with my mobile phone. I have found that conversation helps lots & before I know it 30 minutes done.

Remember...

I'm thrilled I got my sleeve, I'd still love to wake up tomorrow already thin! , but I know I will have to put some work in with this!

It will take me years to pay off the debt but right now I'm...

Try not to let yourself get sooo hungry. We are incapable of shovelling the food down now so we must eat regularly & not get to the point of famished.

This goes with thirsty too cos we can't gulp...

I agree with this, I use an iPad not a laptop so unfortutely I have no mouse to 'hover' :( gutted . In addition it hard to upload photos with my iPad too :(

I really should preview lol but it is...

Thanks for all the advice, I went for cranberry juice & it was fine :) no extra acid at all. My bloody arthritis is playing up but it's old & wet here so it's to be expected.

Wow! Judy look at you! You look fabulous xxx
