Here you go!

Got it from my protein website, mixed berry flavour, as following research consensus was this was the best.....it's sweet, some dilute it further but I'm managing....just keep having a few swigs versus trying to drink it all off in one go....like a strong robinsons summer fruit drink but 40g is a winner!

You truley are a genius - I tried my slimfast ands Whey and it tasted lovely HOWEVER - I realised I serving was over 300 calories ? - I'm still doing it during this week of liquids because other than a couple of soups I'm not eating much else . I get paid tomorrow so I'm definitely going to order this water because I can drink it at work during the day and not have to mess around with blenders cx

Thanks again Hun x

Well done for the loss - I know what you mean about paying - I've only just found out that my husband paid over £30 pounds for the tubs of Whey ! Although each serving does give you 20g of protein it would be so much easier to get twice the amount drinking a bottle of water !!!!

The big tubs of powder do work out cheaper tho but don't tell him that
You can also get protein shots but I've not tried them yet!

I CAN FEEL MY BAND !!!

Changed one of my dressings yesterday and remove the others and whilst messing I could feel a hard object and it's also where I feel most tender - It's in my left hand side - it can only Be the Band - is this normal ?

BIGGEST CHALLENGE SO FAR

Went to a little family get together yesterday - there was all my favourite foods including 4 different types of fish & 4 different types of chicken. I was hoping there was going to be soup but their wasn't ??? So all I add was a bottle of water !!!!!

LESSON : - Walk with a satchet of cup of soup in my bag - that way I'm guaranteed in having something to eat/drink !

 

[flutterby1966]

That's why we girls have handbags. I always have cuppa soups, hot chocolate drinks and snack bars tucked away in mine ...

 

[Dimples70]

Good idea ! I won't be making that mistake again !!! - I'm having a problem with my port hole - it seems really tender this morning - more then usual - is this normal . Or should the pain be passing now .

 

[snack]

All normal I still get days now where mine gets tender and I'm almost 5 months post op x

Confession Time !

I currently have no restriction whatsoever and Im having to rely on will power - which up until last night since the operation has been no problem !

Last night my husband walks in with a massive bar of diary milk and a massive bar of galaxy and my favourite wine ! - (This was our normal routine on a Saturday Night) . I was sooooo upset with him but I could tell from his reaction that he'd bought it out of habit .

I was able to resist for 2 hours but then disaster struck and I ate a line of diary milk - ( 5 cubes) - The pleasure lasted all of 2 mins to he followed by feelings of disappointment and anger at myself

Weighed myself this morning and I've up on 0.8lbs - GUTTED as I only needed to lose 0.8 to get to 14 stones - my first mini target

LESSON - 2 mins of pleasure is not worth the feelings of disappointment and anger which immediately follows and is definitely not worth the 0.8lb gain !

Hun you are only human and old habits die hard it's over and done with you know you won't do it again don't be too hard on yourself it's going to take a while to get used to saying no and that tiny little gain can't be off 5 little pieces of chocolate it may be water it'll soon be gone chin up big hugs xxx

 

[dinkydink]

In my experience any naughty food/alcohol/good food/exercise etc shows up 48 hours after! Don't worry a bit of chocolate boosts the metabolism so it may be gone again tomorrow x

LOL chocolate boosts my metabolism

Dimples, the lesson is to plan it in ... So you don't feel guilty. Life still goes on and to be successful you need to achieve a happy, healthy balance. The odd piece of chocolate is not going to break the calorie bank ... It's when you eat lots of it / everyday that it is an issue. If you eat it...plan a small amount in, eat it slowly and really enjoy it without guilt
