NEWBIE

[shazbrad]

hi all i am new to minimins website and wanted to say hi.
I had a gastric bypass in September 2008 and have lost roughly 5 stones since which is amazing but i am having a bit of trouble lately as i have developed a really bad sweet tooth which is NOT good and i am worried i will start to put weight back on, my weight loss has stalled and i don't want it to start creep back up.
I am hoping that by joining minimins and reading how other people are managing their weightloss and maybe getting some help and advice i can get back to eating healthy foods.
thankyou in advance for any feedback
Sharon

Hiya,
Welcome to minis,
Well done on your weightloss so far. You have done really well.
I had my Gastric Bypass in December 08 and was the best thing ever.
As for stalling have you tried The 5 day Pouch test??
I have heard people talking about it and its like starting Right back at the begining,Its quite a long post, but its a good intresting read and I have heard it really does work.
Its worth a try to kick start your weightloss again.
Here is the link. http://www.minimins.com/wls-faqs/69900-pouch-rules-dummies-informational-post.html
Good luck & let me know how you get on if you try it.

Hi sharon and welcome to MM, well done on ur fab loss.Concerning ur stall maybe u could post what ur average couple of days menu`s are and the experienced post bypass crew will be able to offer you some advice. I am pre bypass so cant offer much advice lol but what i do know is that many times i get in a rut with food and stick to the same foods for so long and often changing our diet can often kick start our weight loss again.
Take care and if u need any help just shout there is always someone around xxx
