Aww Shelley there's nothing better than a good soak in the bath after a long day, well done! And we'll done chrisa on you're weight loss especially after a year, you're such an inspiration. Yesterday I think I ate to much
B rice crispies
L sausage bap( don't even like sausage, ate 2 of them and maybe a 1/3 of the bun
D chicken tikka from Indians ( had about 3 pieces of chicken, salad and sauce.
I felt ok after each meal but greed set in and after I finished my dinner I pinched a tiny piece of naan bread off my husband and dipped it in his masala sauce it tasted Devine but I felt stuffed.
Then at about 9ish I had 2 peanut cookies from Asda, went to bed and felt like crap!
Do you think I'm eating too much? Xxx
 
Dimond, chuck the cookies away! They do noghing for you but make you feel guilty! You don't need them :)

Breakfast - four strawberries, tbsp fat free yoghurt, tbsp start right
Lunch - two mrlba toast topped with lf Philly and red grapes, two crab sticks
Dinner - a little trout, a little sea bass, rice n rocket salad,home made guacamole, homemade salsa 1/4 slice homemade bread, - the boy cooked for me bless him arrived at mine with Tupperware of everything prepped and went back to his car for the biggest handtied bouquet if mixed roses I have ever been given - the food was lovely and I did my best to have a taste of everything, I then let him have s cupcake and my low fat Eton mess which he specially requested lol
He really tried hard to make a low fat/cal meal from scratch and it was delish :)

I don't think it's alot, but maybe it could be a little healthier ?
 
Hi Dimond, If i am guna have acookie I try n jus have 1. You have to remember you are newly bypassed and that kind of food will not really be recommended at all never mind at this stage. Did you get a diet sheet from the hospital to follow? If not follow SRH its easy

6 portions of protein
1 portion= 1 cheeses triangle, 1 low fat yoghurt etc
2 portions of fruit
2 portions of veg
2-3 carbs, bread, pasta, rice etc.

Thats basically it. I do have bits in between, I do have the odd biscuit but to have the odd biscuit I have to go without a carb with 1 of my meals, just be careful you don't undo the good work you have started. The head hunger is a terrible thing, and will power isn't strong thats why most of us had to resort to this severe operation. Stick to what you allowed and have a treat very rarely if you really must, otherwise it will hamper your weight loss. You loose the most weight in the 1st 6 months so go for it now as much as you can 6 months flies by. It slows down bit after that, then gets really much slower so stick in there and dig in on those will power resources and try n use the precious tool we have been given, your are only human and most of us fall at some point. Eventually if you keep doing it you will start to dump and that believe me is not very nice at all. Time you had your picture on too!!! Come on can't be that bad have you looked at my before pics????
 
Good morning everyone!! Up early this morning again.. It's my weekly weigh day today, but really don't want to get on the scales as I'm sure I haven't lost anything this week. So am going to postpone weigh in until tomorrow morning, though what difference a day will make goodness only knows lol...
 
Well Amanda my offical weigh in day was yesterday but I did mine today and the scales have finally moved after a 12 day stall. Only by 1 pound but 1 pound is better than nothing! So you never know what yours might be :) Good luck xx

I'm off to see my surgeon for my 3 month post op check, a month late but that was my fault not his. I hope he is pleased with me. Eek! Have a nice day everyone, despite the terrible weather! :) x

ETA - I just realised I have a bmi under 50 now. Yay :D

Hi All has been a s*** week pleased its over and to cap it all off my cap fell off my tooth at 4.50 tonight had to ring and said he would sort it if i goit straight up got my poor dad to come n get me and the dentist fixed it, its been on 25 yrs and its white gold had it done when our Claire was a baby, its amazing how long its been on dentist always checks it but tonight it had had enough n just fell out, n my heart stopped beating, terrified and thinkn of the cash cost me £17.50 to repair it, I am off to Blackpool tomorrow so didnt dare not have it fixed.

S 1 plum
L 4 cheesy thin crimbles crackers, with chicken paste, 1 banana
S tiny bit of dry granola
D 2 bits of bacon 2 new pots, mushrooms n tomatoes cooked in oven after the bacon.

DElish water tea xx
 
Thanks ladies. My surgeon was very happy with me. He is a very quiet and reserved man but he couldn't help but grin when I told him I my blood pressure was perfect and the other benefits. He was so glad I was happy with things, especially after last time I saw him I was so miserable as I was having liver and kidney problems because I couldn't drink hardly any water and being sick all the time and actually threw up on the way to his office. He said I was like a different person from then and from before the op so over all glad to see him. I don't have to go back until around a year post op now unless I have any problems. So that was good :)

Sorry to hear about your filling Chris, hope you have a nice weekend to make up for the rubbish week.

Today's menu -
Breakfast - A plum.
Lunch - A turkey, salad and mustard wholegrain roll. I cut it in half and ate the other half a bit later in the day when I had room.
Dinner - Some roast chicken, sprouts, half a small roast potato and a little low salt gravy.
Snack - 2 crackerbreads and pickle onions.
 
Hi all, I'm late posting as Iv been to the cinema. Saw taken 2, not as good as the first one. Pleased all went well today Shelley you're doing great, sorry to hear about the dentist chrisa, I know how much you hate them but I'm sure once you get to Blackpool all will be forgotten! And maya i think you have one totally smitten guy after you, have a ball!!!
I know everyone is right and it was a pretty crap day for eating but I thought once you were over 6 weeks you could eat pretty much any thing ( healthy) protein first ofcourse and drop it to 3 x meals per day. Have a good weekend everyone xxx
 
Oh and chrisa you are gorgeous on your before pics aswell as now! Xxx
 
Thank you Dimond, am really looking forward to Blackpool now this week has had me in tears more than once, everything that could have gone wrong has gone wrong. Bring on tha dancing, bet i am minging tonight, will av to be careful this afternoon, or I won't see tonight. Don't worry too much bout your food every day is different, it is so easy to fall back into our old ways though, I still like a biscuit, only rarely do I have chocolate, then just a little bit. You are doing ok just have to stick to the basics first then if you really need something else just limit yourself to a little bit. Don't think had anything like sweet stuff or bread till 4-6 months, apart from ginger snaps, they helped stop me feeling sick, just keep on going you will be just fine. xx
 
So glad it all went well with your surgeon shelley, and chrisa, hope you have a lovely time in blackpool, it will do you good to get away and chill a bit... Agree with what you say about falling back into old ways.... I haven't lost the craving for sweet things, or for stodge, I am just too scared to test my pouch and eat stuff like that, but am hoping that eventually the old habits will either go or become a lot less prevelant..
Well waited an extra day to weigh myself and needn't have bothered!!! 1 measly pound!!! Very very down now!! Seems like I could have lost a pound a week without putting myself through radical surgery. Keep asking myself what am I doing wrong!

Todays menu will be:

B 100mls Skim Milk
L 100gms dry fried escallape of lamb
D turkey steak, onion,gravy & garden peas
S 2 crackerbreads & 20gm L/F philly
S hard boiled egg

I miss proper meals, I think about food still a lot... but was coping while the weight was coming off, and now only 2 months out of surgery and hardly anything!! I feel like I have failed miserably and don't have a hope in heck of ever getting to goal weight, I'm living in fear now of seeing those scales start going up instead of down..
 
Oh petal you gotta have your fruit n veg every day as well as yur protein its the combination of foods thta the bodyneeds, they cancel each other out have a look at Mays diet she loses every week n often big numbers thats because she eats good food fish, meat fruit n veg and is very careful with her carbs very rare you see any treats on her menu, she sticks to the diet and its working, get your info out on eating jabits or google what you should be eating and measure evrything for a week or so til you get yourself back in a happy place it will come off the other big secret is the fluids and exercise. Good luck xx
 
I would say have carbs, but keep them low. Eat quality, pure protein first. Use veg the most as it hasn't got the sugar content and is very low cal. And drink plenty.

I was very frustrated with my slow loss too. But our bodies all adjust at different rates. You will get there! Xxx
 
Thankyou for the comments, but it is so frustrating!! The reason I had this surgery was because I made bad food choices, and ate too much of the wrong things.. I thought the surgery would prevent me from doing that, and yet I still crave the bad stuff, and don't get sick if I eat sugar or fat, so it just feels like I am just battling with a diet and my willpower all the time with no restrictions.. I will take your advice though and re think what I am eating and will definitely try for more fruit and veg chrisa.. I just could cry at the moment though, as this is so hard....
(sorry for feeling so sorry for myself)..
 
Aww Amanda I know how you feel but stay positive, Im struggling too I thought once we were on normal food it would be easier and stupidly thought I wouldn't have to think about what I was eating. That may sound strange but years of yoyo dieting just wore me out and I just did not want to think of calorie counting etc anymore and thought having surgery I wouldn't have to do that any more as I would not be able to eat high fat and high sugar food and also only being able to eat a little bit. This I thought would make me lose the weight!!!!!! I'm feeling a bit down today not because of the replys as I know you are all right and thankyou for being honest but I think I havnt got the will power to even get this right ! :-( have a great Saturday everyone xxx
 
Oh dimond that is exactly how I feel too!! I knew that the bypass wasnt a magic solution, but I thought it would restrict me and also make it really unpleasant to eat most of the foods that caused me to be like this. I feel like I am just on one of my endless diets again and constantly thinking about food nutritional values and calories and having to muster up willpower to stop myself eating something bad, and wondering how long it will be before I just give up and eat myself stupid again!!!
I am so sorry you feel down too, but really do understand, I feel an absolute failure, to be failing like this, when everybody else is doing so well..
