monring emma love reading your pages keep it up very helpful ,i see you do lots of exercise where do you get the energy from xx

 

[emma&alex]

morning!

i think the losing weight has given me loads more energy..generally eating a lot healthier & feeling better about myself.
also, its all wii fit exercise, which personally i don't feel all that tired doing, its pretty fun too & seems to go really quick.
i have been naughty tho & not done any for a couple of days as ive been busy.
im getting on my stepper this morning though to kick start it all again.

Hi Emma

Ive not eaten bread since March 09! gave it up before being banded as I was told it can be a problem when properly restricted. Anyway just wanted to know how toast effects you ie does it make you really full? Recently I have had the odd very thin slice of pizza - can manage a quarter where as pre op it would of been the whole thing plus garlic bread.

I would like to try toast but im scared

 

[emma&alex]

hiya

the toast was ok, i just ate it really slowly & made sure it was all chewed well. ive not got a great restriction at the moment though, the feeling off fullness i have had a few times over next to no food, i think might be me eating too fast. i did feel like id had enough after half a piece though.
