You need to stop eating the crisps and cup o Soups first. Lots and lots of protein!! NO CARBS for two weeks, get your body back into fat burning mode!! Eat things like greek yogurt, cottage cheese, chicken, fish, eggs. If you like the cup of Soup make some boullion and drink that. Have a high Protein shake in place of a meal. You just fell aside the road for a bit - now jump back on the road and take off running. :-)

Aw thank you for your very kind words. My kids go back to school on wed next week and I have an introduction to a gym near me next Friday. Time for me to grab hold of the reigns again xx

I'm very sorry to hear the news about your mother-in-law. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Living with constant stress challenges most folks on the best of days.
Stick as close to your food plan as you possibly can. Try and get a walk in on most days; something is better than nothing. If you get to the gym, even better. Exercise is a great tool for managing stress.
Considering all that your are dealing with now with your family, if I were, I'd do everything I could to keep the rest of my life outside of my family as simple as possible.
Be sure to take time for yourself for some good self-care. If you don't take care of YOU, you may set yourself up for not being able to take care of your loved ones.
I've attached the information my WLS team provided to me. I hope it will help you and give you some suggestions and additional guidance.

I'm sixteen months out, and drink when I feel like it, and not when I don't. I've lost 120 lbs despite having a drink fairly frequently, i.e. about once or twice a week on average, although I do go weeks without drinking. Just be aware that you are more susceptible to alcohol than you were before. I had one terrible episode where I went to a party, didn't realize how much I was drinking, blacked out, couldn't remember what had happened in the morning, luckily had a friend to take me home, and woke up covered in bruises from falling down -- something that has never happened to me before in my 57 years! So embarrassing and worrying. So watch your intake carefully. Best to all.

you can drink, just drink in moderation. no need to feel bad

My hair has started falling out after 3 months post op. My surgeon told me it's the bodies reaction to the change in diet. He said there isn't anything I can do about it but it will eventually stop and grow back.

I'm just wondering if anybody else is going thru this or have been thru it.
I had my op on 6th may 2016.....I dropped from 19 stone 2 pound to 17 stone 11 pounds in 2 weeks.......I'm now 18 stone and the weight isn't moving.....I fluctuate from 17.12 to 18.1......I paid privately for my surgery after selling my house, and I'm beginning to think that this has been a complete waste of money as have all the fad diets I've been on......am I just one of those people who just can't lose the weight??
