Best of British

I have a 12 year old beautiful daughter but she has started skipping lunch at school. I don't eat as much at the dinner table like I used to,but she obviously sees that I eat a fraction of what I used to, we all still sit down together. I'm wondering if I'm having a negative affect on her? She is not over weight at all, she does not know I had the surgery but I was wondering how mums cope with daughters who have food issues? How can you tell your child that she needs to eat to be healthy but you can't do that yourself? I may be worrying about nothing but I kind of feel like I'm sending out the wrong message.

I felt like I was sitting on a brick...it's not nice.

'I'm sexy and I know it' Ha Ha!!!!!

We were on a long journey in the car and stopped off for a McDonalds for the kids. I had half of a chicken Mayo and was as sick as a dog all the way home. I thought it was the bread to be honest...never again though. And for those who start their sentence 'I'm not the food police, but...' Just don't!! Every single person here knows what they should eat and drink, That's the beauty about this surgery, you find out what works for YOU.

Surgery Oct 2012, lost 33 pounds so far, taking our total to 2147 pounds!!

Ha Ha!!!!!!!

I hate it when people who don't agree with you or don't like the way you have coped with your surgery (or don't like what your surgeon said, even) have an opinion on YOUR life. people ask questions because they want honest answers to our REAL experiences. Everyone is different and ultimately it is up to the individual person to find out what works for them but don't chastise someone for having a different experience to you or your surgeon.

I completely agree but from what I understand (and I'm not an expert) ketosis happens when you are on a very low-carb diet. Drinking wine is full of sugar therefore it is is inevitable that this will throw you out of ketosis. I am strictly sticking to vodka!!!

I'm 5' 4" and my original goal was 150 but I am 168 now and still feel huge-I'm not sure if I'm suffering from the 'head thing' like my mind hasn't caught up with the body kind of thing. I must admit though, I'm one of those girls who wants to be really skinny.

OMG thanks for the laughs!! I am going to take my blonde, gorgeous, skinny, 22 year old step twins on holiday to IBIZA!!!

Just to let you know that the quote (in grey) at the top of my post are NOT my words, they were someone else's who was being particularly nasty. I am the one asking 'who the hell do you think you are?' Peace.

I will challenge you on what you think you know. I will question your motives and your decisions. I will make you doubt yourself and question your thought process. If you can't handle it, you can "block" me and you will never see a post of mine again. Just know, you will only be running from what is difficult instead of facing it head on. Anyone who perserves and pushes through it, learns to love me. Because they overcome the obstacles and gain true insight into who they are and why they make the decisions that they do. Who the hell do you think you are??

Didn't work did it?

If I if I told you to jump off a bridge, would you do it? did your mamma ever say that to you?

I don't think many people are going to get into this, just read the post 'alcohol' to see how touchy some people are about a little drink!! I can only tell you my personal experience and that is I have had alcohol since being sleeved and have had no problems whatsoever.
