Thanks Katy day went great btw I think it might have been your hubby he was at the gym too.

White chocolate mocha that is super high calorie delicious.

Hey all wanted to share this funny story with you all. Today I was at the gym and ten minutes into my workout I got extreme gas you know the silent but violent type. Anyway I started landing them left right and centre and the smell was really bad. So bad that everybody in the gym was blocking there nose and blaming the other person I was just smiling and minding my own business. The owner of the gym was next to me on the treadmill and I started complaining to him about the bad smell. He said to me that they are stink bombs found in a tree and when you stepped on them they let out a bad smell so I went along with him. So what would you do if you were there in the gym at that time?

I chose the band because it's reversible and I love hard work.

I'd love to be 32 I'm 40 right now.

Or give up completely? For me it's cheezels the cheese ring crisps. Every now and then I have a bit.

Yes I agree protein is a must. What you can do is buy tasteless protein powder from the pharmacy and mix it with water.

Take a multivitamin for a week and see how it goes maybe your vitamin deficient.

Hi I chose the band against the sleeve because to me I didn't want to lose it overnight but over a period of time. Also I know many sleepers who stretched their sleeve over the years and put the weight back on. With the band you have that adjustable fill that can put you back on track. But most of all I didn't want anything cut out of me.

I had mine done in 2009 and it's been great I'm still losing today and day by day im learning about it and how to work with it. All major surgeries have their problems but a lot of the time it's the fault of the person for not complying to all its rules.

Welcome Robin we are all here to help you along your journey. Best of luck.

Hi bandstand not all oils will do the job try and use extra virgin oil oil a lot and buy the bottles that come in a dark colour as they are the best. Flaxseed oil is also not bad.

Hi Lisa I didn't count this with my calorie amount as my doctor told me not to. I want to see for a week if it would make me lose more weight. I will keep you all informed. Also funny how I burned double the calories at the gym.

Weight loss doesn't occur on a daily basis and you won't get to your ideal weight overnight. Patience is the name of the game and it's a lifetime thing. So my advice to you would be don't weigh yourself too much exercise more sip water all day long if possible and enjoy the journey.

I hope one day I will get there.

So far my first day doing it and my body feels fantastic I havnt felt this good since surgery 6 years ago. Also I feel like I had 4000 calories when I only had 1200. Also I trained like a monster at the gym. This oil is the bomb.

Please have in your head that you are going to succeed because when this happens you will succeed. It's all in the mind.

It's probably just a reaction from the body after having part of it taken out but it should pass in a few days.

I know the feeling Tri having a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil before a meal it will help the food slide easier and eat slower.

Sometimes the scale is deceptive try measuring your waiste or see how your clothes are fitting, if they are getting lose then it's probably just water retention.

If you think the surgery is gonna make you lose the weight you are very wrong. It might help you but the onus is on you to do the hard work.

Extra virgin olive oil 30 mls before a meal can make you lose weight as well as having endless health benefits like less likelihood of getting cancers and other diseases. My doctor explained to me today there is something in extra virgin olive oil that is unique and powers the body. He had patients use olive oil drinking it before mrals and they had some remarkable results. You can also sprinkle it on salads etc.

Some things you can do to get rid of hunger include drinking lots of water, exercising, taking vitamins every morning and understanding that weight loss surgery no matter what type is a tool and no magic wand. Also check to see if it's head hunger.

You are not over doing carbs if you take in less then that you could have liver problems remember be on a low carb diet but don't be on a no carb diet.

Congrats on your weight loss 1 to 2 lbs a week is the healthy amount to lose per week.
