While i am here, a quick update When i attended that first meeting with the dietitian last May i was told that , if all went well, to expect surgery around Feb this year. Then it moved to June. Now it is even worse. I completed my stint on tier 3, having the lost the required amount of weight...

Hi Hattiesmum I am in Leicester too. I think because my BMI is over 50 I only had to spend 6 months on tier 3. The referral will be quite quick but I think you have to attend a group session first now before seeing the dietitian.

That is exactly what WLS means to me - HOPE.

UPDATE Hi I am sorry I haven't been around. I haven't been well and I've been extremely stressed by what has been going on in my life. It has been really tough but I have made a decision not to carry on with what is causing me so much pain. Slowly I am starting to feel a little better but I am...

Horrendous, isn't it. I don't think many people understand if they haven't been there. You are doing better than me. I don't fly now. Loosing and gaining is the story of my life! I hope the process isn't to arduous with L&D and you get your appointment soon.

Thanks Lottie. Not doing so well now. I think I am 4lb heavier than when I saw the dietitian due to stress eating and not caring. Hopefully back on it now. How are you?

Thanks FeeBee. My diet has fallen apart which pretty much reflects what is going on with my life at the moment. I made the mistake of shutting down when it is much better to talk.

Hello Princess Tiger I must admit to being a little jealous of everyone here who has someone in the same area to 'talk' to. We should start a 'going it alone' club :( Dot

UPDATE Well I have had my 6 week check up with the dietitian and I have lost the required weight. The work sheets so far have been about eating regularly and I have done well at that. I am now moving on to a work sheet where I monitor my hunger levels before and after eating. I must be doing...

Hi Maria. I am so pleased to meet someone going through the Leicester system. I have my second dietition appointment shortly and hope to have lost about a stone. I've been eating healthily most of the time. Just the odd meal out when I've had what i fancy. Congratulations on getting on the...

Hi Maria I have just started on what I think is the tier 3 programme in Leicester. I think I have to show a change in my eating habits and lose some weight before being put forward to surgery but it is all rather confusing as the info on a questionnaire they sent me said I would be with the...

Looks like you do belong here. I am sorry I cannot help with tier 3 in Exeter. I haven't even worked out what happens in my own area yet! Dotty

Hi Lottie Sorry to hear that. You really do have a lot to contend with at the moment. Look after yourself xx

Hi SJ some very nice ideas in there. I will add to my food/weight journal. I find keeping all my thoughts and ideas together really helpful. It sound like you are doing really well. I am so grateful not to live in you area. 6 weeks on a Lrd? How is that even possible? Are they trying to...

What is cauliflower couscous like?

You know what? You did REALLY well. A few packets of crisps will be undone quickly as long as you don't feel bad about them and go completely off track. A big achievement so be kind to yourself.

Thanks Lottie. Some really good suggestions there. I love eggs and had no idea that you could get butternut lasagne. I am not sure about quorn after being on slimming world for too long but I love kidney beans and probably could have enough cals for lean mince. I think I might have a go at bean...

Good morning WEEK 3 2lb down this week. Slowing down now and much less rewarding. Also getting a bit less enthusiastic about the food so going to shake it up a bit with some new ideas. Ideas so far include Get some nice easy to prepare veg, getting bored with salad Treat myself to some steak...

I wish everyone was the same. At least we said goodbye to UKIP, at least a while.

I am guessing that you are no less concerned this morning then?
