OMG I tried sugar free gummy bears. The farting! I mean seriously bad. All night long. Never again!

Hahaha no I think they're just imagining what they would do if they were fat and then got skinny. Oh bless!

I think the xanthan gum really helps with consistency!

Oh don't worry, I didn't read@GreenTealael as recommending I go off meds. I am quite ornary on my own account LOL. [emoji23][emoji23]

Funny you should say that. My mum has Hashimotos so they tested me too but I don't (well I don't have markers for it yet anyhow)

I know. I brought it up a couple of times with the pdocs but they have not been keen. I don't want it for weightloss so much as I want a bipolar med that won't cause weight gain [emoji30]

Oooooooh they look gooooood

I can't talk. There has never been a half-full biscuit packet I haven't ravaged.

I can't hide diddly squat, so I've told everyone. In my Qur'an class the sisters knew I'd had surgery on something to do with my stomach but it wasn't until it became visible that they pressed me for details (with lots of excitement at how good I was looking). When I tried to explain what a bypass is, some of them looked worried like what a scary thing to undergo. My MIL who was not encouraging pre-op is delighted now. She doesn't understand how it works but just that it does. My FIL just keeps wanting to weigh me, but he did that before hand too (he's eccentric and Irish, what can I say?) Then I have friends who tell me how exciting it will be to go cloths shopping and start imagining me in short skirts and tank tops (they're projecting) whilst I gently remind them that I wear long clothes and a head over in public and WLS won't change that [emoji12]

Ta. It's used for bipolar and I was hoping to see if I could use that because every other bipolar med causes weight gain. *sigh * I'm currently refusing bipolar meds because of this issue although I'm well under control with being vigilant with my sleep and exercise.

MUCH better this week. No junk food here. Haven't been doing the specific exercise plans but I did up my daily walk by another km.

Hah! She was some gal!

[emoji79] Why? For the love of Pete, can't you have one nice thing?

Ooooh I world totally order that. I wonder what the chickpeas were marinated in.

Did you get side effects from the topiramate?

I don't think it would be the biotin causing that. Much more likely to be hormonal.

13. Short poem by Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi, rahim Allah: My heart has become able To take on all forms. It is a pasture for gazelles, For monks an abbey. It is a temple for idols And for who circumambulates it, the Ka'bah. It is the tablets of the Torah And also the leaves of the Qur'an. I believe in the religion Of Love Whatever direction its caravans may take, Love is my religion and my faith.

Mazel tov - Mabruk - Congrats!

It was pretty good and very filling. I've been satisfied all arvo ever since

I FINALLY have an after photo. Was at café and ordered a tuna melt on brown and I actually had a hard stop 3/4 of the sanger. Plus I didn't eat a single chip!

Oh wow hun, that's a crap load of stress. I don't have anything I can say except I pray it gets better for you and your fam.

Lads, I had a go at making keto tortillas from this recipe and they were scrumdiddlyumptious https://www.gnom-gnom.com/grain-free-keto-tortillas/

That's one of my weightloss goals - to start diving again.

Oh North Africa your breakfasts are simply divine. The Moroccans do this egg and tomato dish in the tagine that is delish too. And heaps of everything!

That's okay, we've all been there with the pre-surgery anxiety!
