Hi Terry Every one is doing fine, busy with life, you know how it is - Haydar is amazing, he'll be 3 in November and keeps me well and truely busy. I regularly post on the SW forum, it's a huge help to me and every one there is a huge support. Glad to see you are doing so well, you must be...

I’ve thought long and hard about posting here but now think it is the time to share my experience although it’s a pretty raw one, I feel ready now to do so. There are people here who will know me and know of my struggles and what I have been through but I see so many new names I think this...

Thank you all for your advice. As it happens my body gave up on the fasting about an hour ago - I started to feel really dizzy and so sick and my head was so light I thought I was going to pass out so I had to eat something and have a drink and I am now starting to feel normal. My husband came...

hello lovely people Things are still going well, not taken in anything I should n't have done. I have an issue though and not sure what to do about it. As a muslim we have one month of the year when we fast from dawn till dusk and that month started today and I'm not sure wether I should...

thats exactly the same as what I had and I've had similar problems to you. I had mine converted to a bypass but was done with open surgery, could n't have done it key hole as there was too much scar tissue and too much of a mess in there. Hopefully all your problems will be sorted when you...

hi hunney Can I ask what surgery you had previously and what is the problem with it. I have had 2 weight loss surgeries. The first was the traditional 'stomache stapling' which went wrong and I spent 10 years suffering big time and was n't able to eat solid foods in that time. I had a...

well I am sooooooooooo proud of myself. I was invited over to a freinds house today and there was a group of ladies there who had all bought dishes of food plus my friend had cooked a delicsious curry and there was loads of cakes and treats but I did n't touch a single thing - just had a...

hey Erin - I'm on day 3 of the pouch test so I'll put down what I had but I'm not sure I'm the best example cause I'm not adventurous or anything. Day one Milky Coffee B smoothie made from 1 banana, 1 spoon of peanut butter, 1 scoop of whey vanilla protein power, semi skimmed milk and 10...

Helen I am so so pleased for you, it's what you wanted although you seemed to be turning towards the bypass. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long and you'll be on the journey of losing Hugs to you, you truely deserve it!!

:mad: I don't dump!!! I had my heart set on dumping so it would keep me away from my beloved sugary treats - I can eat anything and not suffer. Ocassionally if I have a latte afterwards I feel lethargic and a bit off and wonder if its a form of dumping but it would n't make sense as I can eat...

hopeless thank you so much, the kindness I get from the people here never ceases to amaze me and makes me feel even more stupid for staying away once things started to go wrong. I'm sure had I have stayed you gorgeous people would have got me back on the straight and narrow in no time at all...

What I'm going to say is n't ideal and really should n't happen but 3 weeks before my surgery my baby boy became very ill and it was touch and go for a while so I was spending so long at the hospital and I did n't even know if I was going to be going through with the surgery. I was meant to do...

awww terri thank you my husband is Arabic so i make alot of dishes with rice. Dishes that I make regularly are Mousakka Spaghetti Bolegnese Meatballs and Spaghetti Chicken Korma (served with rice) Shepherds Pie (I have eaten this since my surgery and its gone down better than anything...

thank you for all the kind words and encouragement. I'm still doing ok, feeling really hungry and I have a splitting headache but I think thats cause I'm not feeding myself all the rubbish that my body is used to - totally shattered too. Hubby has gone to London tonight so I've got a night...

Phatmomma that is really a lovely thing to say and I'm really quite touched. I think that one of the problems (at least my problem) is that we don't actually appreciate our self worth and it takes someone else to remind us. I am a good person, I am raising 6 kids, taking care of a 6 bed house...

can you give me examples of a dense protein and a complex carb - do you mean eat the protein you have on your plate before you eat the carb - I know duuuuh questions but when I say I'm rubbush at all that stuff I was n't joking lol

I've opened this thread as since my change in mindset I don't want to keep updating on a thread called failure! I'm on day 2 now of the 5 day pouch test and feeling very proud of myself. Yesterday was good, I did feel hungry though I won't deny it but I kept drinking my water and managed to...

If I'm being good and eating correctly then I'm a total slave to my scales, if I know I'm being bad then I stay away from them like they have the plague. I've made a promise to myself since I started my new regime (only yesterday I might add) that I'm not going to stand on the scales for two...
