I tried a cup of decaf tea with a capful of toffee flavoured SF syrup. I wouldn't do it everytime but it made for a nice change!

Squeeeee - hubs just agreed to buy me a new wedding ring set when I get down to goal (at moment 67 kg) imma start Pinteresting

That's a good idea too. I'm totally stealing everyone's ideas.

Bahahaha rofl

Hella yes! Hello new weight loss goal! Not sure about the recommissioned (snort, that's what my autocorrect came up with) ceremony but I am TOTES up for some new bling at goal weight.

Oh this!! And also being able to get the tray down so that it sits flat, not resting on my belly at an incline!

I'm a bit nervous about that too. I took another ring to a jeweler to do some work on it and he butchered it. Very upsetting.

These ring guard things are all over Amazon - who knew?? I've ordered a packet so hopefully that's a (temp) solution!

A ring guard? This, I will have to Google!

Ta, have stuck them on a middle finger which does them feel a bit tighter. Looks weird tho!

I didn't even know it *could* develop in adulthood. Please God it doesn't cause you pain or difficulties!

This is them.

Need a bit of advice re: my engagement and wedding rings. I'm now thinner than when I married my lovely hubs twenty years ago and my rings are getting too loose. They're bugging me coz they swivel all the time and I'm scared of losing them. I'm loathe to take them off but there's no point getting them adjusted yet - I don't even know if they can be adjusted. Did this happen to anyone else? What did you do?

Ha! The Irish don't even bother with umbrellas they're so used to it.

Congrats hon!![emoji322][emoji122]

Same. I have been on metformin for years and victoza for a couple. In the hospital my BG dropped to normal levels,so no need for meds. Then by coincidence I had my annual checkup with my diabetes endo doc scheduled for a couple of weeks post surgery, so they did a full panel and my Hb1ac was normal (can't remember the number). They told me they wanted to have one last look at me in a year and then they'll drop me as a patient altogether! Yay!! (the official way of saying it is "discharge me back to the care of my GP"). I don't even bother taking my bloods anymore cause everytime I do, they're in like 4.6 or sommit. (UK measurements are different to US but that is bang on normal). I'm bloomin' thrilled!!

I'd start by: - Tracking everything you eat and drink, set yourself a daily calorie & macro limit. Make sure you're not accidently eating drinking too much - Look at incorporating keto and/or intermittent fasting. - Start / increase exercise - Possibly do some cognative behavioural therapy around eating behaviours and thoughts. Good luck!

Oh wow, you must be delighted! Keep at it!! [emoji322] [emoji122]

Would you not have developed that as a kid / teen growing up? Or did it develop later?

That's why the coat should work for me all year around. Irish weather being rain, rain, rain, sun comes out for five minutes, rain, rain, rain... ?

Oooh that's pretty too!! Gosh medical ID bracelets have become very stylish.

This is something I could experiment with, coz I have a bunch of SF syrups. Never thought to put them in tea! I'll let you know how it goes.

Ladies, you have to try scarf styling. There's heaps of turban tutorials on Youtube!

I have an awful feeling I've developed a kidney stone post surgery and a quick Google tells me that bypass can increase risk of kidney stone formation. I've been feeling kidney-stoney for a little while now, and yesterday it started to ramp up. So I'm trying to decide do I cart myself off to A&E, although the scan probably won't be done until Monday, or do I just keep dosing myself up with Panadol and try and flush it through my system. That's if it is a kidney stone. Could be a fibroid acting up hmmmmm...

Oh I know someone here in Ireland with haemochromatosis. The Irish also have higher rates of cystic fibrosis and coeliac disease, oddly enough.
