Mine has gone bizarro but I blame the melon sized fibroid I can now feel in my decreasing abdomen. The first period postop was fine but the second was unbelievably heavy and just kept going through to the third one which has now been hanging around with manky old brown blood for two weeks. I'm sure for a gynae appointment soon so I'll ask then.

Awwww what a cutie-patootie. 75 lbs as well is fantastic and doing it the hard way too!!

Fantastic! What to do with all those lovely calories!

Oh gosh that looks sooooooo good

I wonder if you could make it worth just regular chicken mince rather than canned chicken. Hmmmm.

I know. I thank God. I'm very lucky. We met on the Internet back in the days of dialup LOL. So Internet romances can work out.

Clichéd but my greatest support is my hubby. He's never known me as anything other than morbidly obese. He met and married me when I was around 125kgs, and has been there for me even when I grew to 153.5kgs. He's supported me through a failed lapband and when I raised the possibility of revising to bypass he didn't hesitate to say yes even if it meant we'd have to self-pay (still waiting to hear back from the HSE for a reimbursement, bureaucracy *sigh*). He's encouraged me at every kilo lost and joined me walking every evening. He's the kindest, gentlest, funniest, smartest, handsomist person I've ever known and twenty years after we married I still love him to bits, alhamdulillah.

Ooooh I'll have to try that with mine, altho I think she'd have the same clothes attitude too *sigh*

Could it be a haemorrhoid? Take some Aloe Vera juice - it works miracles!

Oh gosh, I'm sorry to hear that. She's in my prayers.

Hoooray that's fantastic! Well done!! [emoji108][emoji108][emoji106][emoji106]

I saw a big change early on in the piece, maybe 6 weeks out - I seemed to lose a lot around my face and shoulders so it was quiet noticeable. Since then I don't see as much dramatic change as at first but I do feel it. I love crossing my legs, bending down to pick things up easily, I even started to try jogging!

130gms lightly pan-fried hake and a salad. Very nom altho the cat insisted on sharing the hake.

Ooh ta. It's worth saving up the calls for a lovely piece of pizza! I'm going to have to try the fathead recipe!!

Needed more cheese *sigh*. It had eggplant (which is a bit of a dicey veggie for me, I love it but it makes me suddenly rush to the bathroom to violently throw up about 75% of the time, not good odds but it's my favourite [emoji24]), vegan chorizo, tomato, onion, Turkish sucuk sausage, mini mozzarella balls and a teeny bit of chedder.

Oh woops - was I supposed to take a morning pic. Ahh well, will do it tommoz God willing.

Ahhh yes, that would make it trickier! I've never thought of liquid vitamins b4 - I do wonder how well bypass peeps like me absorb the capsule / pill vitamins given our insides have been rearranged.

Oh gosh that looks good, what was the calorie count for a slice? I tried to make a cauliflower crust one but I burnt the edges and it was too dry with not enuf cheese #fail

Speaking of Vitamins and supplements... So I take: - 40mg omeprazole - 1 Fitforme bypass Multivitamin (https://www.fitforme.co.uk) - 1 Iron tablet - 1 chromium tablet (can't remember why so I'll just keep going until I run out then stop) - 1 Biotin tablet - 1 big ole chewable calcium

No judging here, my water and net carbs goals are whistling in the wind, but have you thought of putting your vitamins in a container near your kettle (or somewhere you visit often). I have a weekly pill container where the days are separated out so every morning I see last night's empty container and swap it for the new day's and start taking my meds and vitamins. Then coz I go to the kettle I see it during the day and remember.

One slip up probably won't stop your surgery, BUT it's a slippery slope if you rationalise away more slip ups. Buckle down and try really hard. These weeks before and after the surgery are the hardest but they are totally worth it! You can do this!!!

Haaahahahah Typhoid Mary baahahah

It does! Thank u [emoji182]

Cripes, what a reaction. Was there much sugar in the balsamic dressing. Gosh you wldnt think it would cause that much of a response hey.

Top Weight Loss Tip: It isn't going to be very original but a few nuts (only a few) half an hour before dinner and I feel more satiated after dinner b/c my body is fooled into thinking I had a big dinner, then I'm not running around looking for more afterwards.
