Very pleased for you well done for all the hard work hun xx
 
Thanks guys! your support is much appreciated. :D

I have decided it is time to step up my activity levels. I got a Fitbit for my birthday last month and I have set that up with advice on what my goals should be at the moment from my bariatric team when I saw them on Monday. I also got advice about diet targets from the dietician which I have set up in myfitnesspal which I am finding fab. It keeps count of your calorie intake and you can set your own calorie target so it counts for you. You can also set protein, carb and fat targets which I find really helpful as it works out what you have had from the foods you have ate. So with these two tools I WILL become more healthy!

The worrying thing is the fitbit also tracks your sleep. My husband has sleep issues and wakes me during the night some times. I thought it was bad at the minute as I am constantly tired but did not realise just how bad...7 times I was woken last night....no wonder I am like mrs grump today :(
 
Yesterday was 8 weeks post surgery for me...47lb down now!

Things are going ok. I have had a few dumping episodes over the past week on my return to normal foods. Might I just add, dumping is the pits!!!

Iv also got a cold so feeling a bit sorry for myself but cracking on with things. I hope everyone else is getting on well x

Hi Sally,

It is such a horrible feeling. I guess it is just a case of trial and error at the moment as to what foods are going to make it happen but it's starting to make me nervous about eating at all. How are you getting on? X

Ive ordered a dvd called PIYO too. Its pilates and yoga mixed with cardio. For tightenin up xx
 
Hi all,

It is good to see that everyones doing well :)

The gym... my next nemesis! I was (and expect still am) a gym lover. I had a really horrible experience a few months before surgery in the gym where I felt ill, went blue and lost consciousness. I have not been able to bring myself to go back since then. I am terrified to say the least. I am trying to convince myself that I need to get over this and back in there but it is difficult. I am rapidly approaching my next mini target of 50b loss so I think I might make returning to the gym my next target (with a lovely reward for achieving of course).
 
So...I was 9 weeks post opp yesterday and today I am over the moon to be able to say... I have hit my mini target of 50lb lost! I am delighted :)
 
Thats amazing sunshine, well done.. bet ur over the moon with that. Im 6 weeks post op nd have lost 2 nd a half stone. I see dietitains next thursday im really hopin my scales r wrong and have lost more lol. As i feel like ive lost more xx
