Sundown, what did you have on liquid days did you buy soups? If so what ones? I've got a Nutribullet but wondered if people found it easier the two weeks just buying soup. I'm thinking cream of tomato, cream of chicken or are they too thick?

My provider is said to avoid cream soups. What I did was buy fresh non-creamed soup and then put them through the nutribullet and water down a bit if necessary.

I found the glorious soup range and also Tideford organics we're both really tasty.
 
Hi guys ... Well I'm not sure about exercise I'm going to ring my provider. I'm supposed to be walking everyday until week 7 I think then whatever as long as it's not a contact sport.
 
So today's thought is this ....

I came home from work and very stressed ate my mush/ soup too quick because I was stressed ... Lesson learnt it was Uncomfortable :-(

So note to self ...

Do not eat when stressed!!

:)
 
Its about learning new coping strategies hunni.... turning to food is the old way of doing things...... remember all these outside influences somehow manage to harm us!!! let them go and let them sod off LOL this is about US now....learn to love YOU and don't allow these 'things' affect us............

I think you'll understand this perfectly :) years of allowing 'others' to control US...leading to US harming ourselves.... NO MORE MRS....... take back control x x x x x

Oh ouch. I've done that once - thought my intestines were twisting themselves into a knot. Awful! I found laying down and sipping hot water helped.
 
Thanks crystal .. X X :)

Ouch sundown :-(
 
I think my work trousers feel looser! :)

Hope you all had a good day X
 
Thanks Mrs b I'm a bit shocked about my work trousers! Note to self this does not mean I can eat more cos My trousers are looser!! Lol

So I read a book about a guide to life after Wlsurgery .. Well I skipped through it. One of the things she suggested was finding ways to deal with stress ( not by using food). Like crystal said we need to learn new ways to deal with stress / emotions - whatever we used to turn to food for .

For me it's stress/ anxiety/ and a number of other emotions I don't really want to share right now. So one of the things suggested was meditation... I've tried it- I have in the past . I've downloaded a
 
Oops
Meditation app and I'm going to try this ... I'll keep you up dated on how it goes.

Another thing I've noticed is although I've lost weight I cannot believe how really fat I am... I don't think I've really looked at myself for years , I've obviously avoided it but I really am fat it's awful ... But incentive to keep going!! Lol
 
Hey that's one think I've looked into meditation and downloaded two apps however when I saw the cognitive therapist as part of the teir three program she suggested Head SpAce and using the free bit on there. I have to say it's pretty good I also have looking into classes as I live in quite a small town I didn't hold out hope however I've found a lady who does healing meditation for weight issues and it's ten sessions for Thirty pound so I'm booking up I think.
 
Hi beep beep that sounds really good value for money... £30. If we had that round here I think I'd give it a go too.

The one I got is 'simply being' because the lady in the book had got it. I'm going to give it a go everyday to try to help.

Sweetheart I 'feel' we have a lot in common...... this journey is not an easy one when u have underlying 'stuff' I have had to revisit many past issues on my journey and feel a much stronger person for it..... should u need to share anything PM me :) always happy to share the load, half a problem and give some advise from experience..... Mindfulness is a very valuable key to your success.... there are many courses out there, books and yes apps..... its never going to be easy BUT you owe it to yourself now mrs........ time to put yourself top of the pile from now on x x x x x x
 
Thank you crystal X wise words as usual and much appreciated x X
 
Today I had a bit of a revelation... I came home from work late having only had 2 shakes and a soup all day ( not unusual when I'm at work, even pre band).

Pre band I would've got fish n chips on my way home or something else from the shop ( two meals probably) come home and walked straight in eaten the lot whilst watching tv until bursting! I have no children or dog tonight they're at their dads, so it would've been a night I could eat in peace. I probably wouldn't have tasted most of it cos I would've been eating so fast and possible eaten some in the car on the way home, or in the kitchen whilst I waited for something to warm up. I wouldn't have proper cooked because it would've taken too long.

Post band I still would've come in and made food straight away - a packet soup or exante meal (now I'm on mush) and sat in front of the tv!

Tonight though ... I didn't want the packet food (unheard of). I wanted the organic veg I have in the fridge made into a soup (I'm still on mush). And I was prepared to wait without raising the fridge! So I came home, tidied up, cooked veg soup from scratch, washed up (again unheard of that's what dishwashers are for) and didn't pick whilst waiting for it to cook (which I would've done before).

Soup was gorgeous but I didn't go back for seconds (again unheard of).

What's happening to me lol ??

:)

My vitamins arrived last night and OMG I feel better already , plus I've been taking my herbal medicine since after the op and my turmeric milk.. Which this week I made with almond and coconut milk (it's on offer at mozzers at the mo)... Lush:)


Hope you all had a fab day x X X
 
Sounds like you've turned a corner. Keep your head in this place & you'll achieve great success with you wls. It's liberating, freedom from the food demons. Ur in control now.
 
Thanks emm :)

I did do my 5 min meditation yesterday at work at lunch ... Maybe this helped??

I really felt some anxiety go from my heart area...

I've done the meditation this morning too (not at work today and no children either ).

So today's plans... Clean house, do washing ( usual stuff) have daughters friend over for tea. Maybe cut the grass ... If I get time and if it stays dry :)

Have a fab day all X
