wise words spoken from a very wise man x

i believe Mark maybe you should remember that post op means life ever after WLS. I know i wasnt at the meeting this month but have been at all bar 2 over the last 3+years I along with half a dozen others helped set up the group and each and every time have walked away with either insight or with...

Never a truer word spoken. i also found a 10lb gain 3 years out. Its off again and mine was purely by eating carbs at every meal. No biscuits cake or chocolate just carbs. If i stick to carbs at breakfast and then just protien and fruit and veg the rest of the day im fine. but the moment i...

i am 4ft 11 and was 20st 12lbs. Im still 4ft 11 but am now 9st 7lbs my bmi was 63 when i started its now 27. Sailed through the whole thing its now 3 years out that the hard work starts and constantly watching the carbs to avoid weight gain.

which bariatric team have you been refered to?

Ahhh congratulations Karl. So pleased to hear the weather held out for you. You all look fantastic and so happy. Take care your one special guy x

No need to appologise at all M. The reason for me posting was to highlight the fact that loosing the weight for many is the easy part its once its off that is when the hard work starts. I too have the odd slice of pizza but have got to admit i make my own with pitta bread or wraps as thats how i...

Im blowing my own trumpet because even though Dave was home this weekend and took charge of the kitchen(i didn't cook a thing for 4 days) what a man!!! i managed to stick with my very low carb plan because he understands how important it is for me. I still enjoyed myself and had wine and nice...

if you blitz it its not going to have the same filling effect as it then becomes a slider food and will slip straight through yr pouch whether your bypassed or banded. x

Your body will carry on changing shape as you loose weight and some months it may be affected and others not. The main thing is now you are aware of it and know how to take care of it hopefully it wont cause too many problems. x

What a picture this is going to conjurer up in your minds. When i was big i used to put it on and then lay on my bed for a few moments for it to dry. But no it doesn't stay wet as such. x

Funnily enough Lynne i've never been a comfort eater or an emotional eater. One of my biggest struggles post op is when im upset or excited i cant eat and have to rely on milky drinks. problem is once the excitment is over i go back to normal eating and then realise how hungry i am. x

Well ladies and gents i dont post very often these days but just thought i would share whats been happening with you. There is no excuse for what has happened apart from on my part bad planning. I have had a new charge to look after and she is a very poorly little girl who requires round the...

i tend to use mum or sure un perfumed unless there is a good offer on. but always unperfumed.

yes it will louise remember dry well and use the powder and once the skin is healed then use the deodrant. good luck

Karlos hope kaylian is ok. Its about time the bad look fairy buggered off and gave you all a break. Saying that don't send her this way. Miss your cheery face and sod the budget she's waited long enough for you to make an honest woman of her. Take care carole x

i tell all my friends. used to use it when i was big to stop my legs chaffing in the summer as well. im sure the checkout girl used to think i had some kind of obsession when i used to buy a dozen at at time especially when it was on offer.

initially like the others have said you need to see the GP to get it checked out and on your records as proof. once its cleared up with his magic potion my GP told me after washing make sure its rinsed well and then dry with cotton buds and finish off with hairdryer on low to make sure it is...

Its very normal and you had better get used to it as it is a sign of weight loss and good fluid intake. Look at it as forced exercise all the getting up and going to the loo. If you up your exercise and get your heart going so your slightly out of breath it slows down as you then exhale more...

may sound harsh but how much do you want your surgery. If i was asked the same question on my pre op it was more than some food at a buffet. I did the milk diet so food wasn't an option and went to 2 parties and just drank gallons of fizzy water. remember this is about self control for the...
