Haha I keep missing people out cos I'm replying as you post! Sorry for that Irene and thanks for the well wishes. You're making some good progress yourself. You'll be well in the right mindset by the time your surgery comes x

Cheers Bling I've been meaning to post for days, I just get stuck in a bit of a solitary pit! It's great to catch up with everyone's achievements. I love the sun and heat but it doesn't like me so much. With the weight and the anxiety I've tended over the last few summers to just become a...

Thanks Kim. Yeah it's amazing. I'm not sure which I like more the lack of hunger or the lack of space! My head still thinks it can manage more than it can but it's slowly getting in line! Yeah I'm really grateful for the advice re reflux as that was getting quite heavy but definitely better for...

Congrats on getting through the move. I hate moving house so much, it's such a brain ache. Also nice one on coming out! I'm a bit naive about non binary but I imagine there's a relief to getting it out there. Everyone deserves to feel comfortable being themselves so nice one :D x

Looking good Maria ;) Glad you're doing so well. x

Well done Victoria I know we're both a couple anxious buggers so it's always good to hear successes! You're doing great and I love that you're enjoying more time out and about. There's nothing worse than being in a mental prison so anything that breaks the shackles is awesome :)

Hey all thanks for the check up am doing alright thanks! @slimkim I've not made it to the docs as my social anxiety has been savage the last few days but I did order some nexium to take when the Lansoprazole runs out in the evening. Has been helping so when I do get to the docs I'll just ask for...

I echo what everyone else said. It's a massive process with big old ups and downs. Just remind yourself that it'll all be worth it in the end! I could never keep weight off before and I'd usually put double back on the week after! Now though I really feel completely different and the weights...

Blings said it all there really. I don't know about plication as I had a sleeve but I'm 3 weeks out and I've noticed the positive effects of restriction. Having such a dramatically smaller capacity really does help as it stops you going ott. I'd not have been able to follow this eating regime...

Congrats on the progress. 10st is incredible!

Thanks Kim that might be just the tonic; I'll try that tomorrow. Was definitely gunna mention it to the gp next time I see him. It's a small price to pay I guess and fairly manageable once the meds are sorted! Yeah that's definitely true! I did allow myself a beer the other night. Total waste...

Thanks all. It's more progress than I've ever seen in this time frame before. Very positive. :D I was given a few suggestions like scrambled eggs, and two sample days as an example but wasn't given a plan as such. Been left to work it all out really. I've had a few fish yeah. Cod, smoked...

Hey all, been a quiet weekend this end. Would have been my Mum's 60th birthday yesterday so that's been playing on my mind, as these things do. I imagine we would have thrown her a surprise party. She loved a good knees up. As for me I've been gradually trying different foods. Tolerating...

I'm sorry mh health is making things difficult for you. It doesn't sound like your gp is massively supportive? Perhaps there's another one at your practice who's more skilled with mh problems? I don't think intrusive voices should be brushed off by a doctor. Have you seen your psychiatrist...

It's really crazy the difference! I think I might try even less food for now because both textured meals I've had now have made me feel stuffed so quickly. It'll take a few to get it right I'm sure. The protein shake should be here tomorrow so that'll get my protein up to where it needs to be...

So yesterday was the 2 week point and I started adding a bit of texture. Had usual skyr for breakfast then some spoons of high protein cottage cheese for lunch just to see how I dealt with it. All good so tried a bit of celeriac topped cottage pie (instead of spud) at dinner. Managed a lot less...

"Me and the bitch" Brilliant. :rotflmao: Definitely has to be my favourite pouch name I've seen. x

@sandra overton Well done, I've bought some fish too. It's a good lean form of protein! Going to try to get more into it myself too! There's a big variety to choose from. x

After a few of those spins classes you'd be able to beat him to the end! x

I want a lot of the above but most of all I want to be fit enough to do the Inca trail and a rainforest tour in Peru. I've always wanted to see Machu Pichu and the Amazon and have a brief window of opportunity to do it if I can get a decent enough result from this process in the next few months...
