Hi all,
I have been reading and 'lurking' on this forum for a little while now, but thought it was about time I started to post!
I lost 4 1/2 stones with SW a couple of years ago, but for various reasons have put back on about half of what I lost.
Saw my GP today for other health problems, and we generally discussed weight loss. I had asked about referral for a Gastric Balloon but was told that local guidelines for referral meant a bmi of 60 or 45 with related health problems - although I have the extra health issues, my BMI is not high enough, so that was a no no.
She suggested I try Xenical. Has anyone here followed the SW diet alongside Xenical? It seems that as long as each food is under 5g of fat per 100g should not cause a problem with the Xenical.
I have the SW Extra Easy booklet, lots of their recipe books, and get the mag, and probably most importantly I did like the SW diet (although found lack of decent quantities of bread a pain!) . It did work and from reading through the forum it looks as though EE is working well for most people - although it does seem hard to get head round free red and green at each meal!
I have about six stone to lose, so would love a good kick start. Any feed back would be appreciated.
Thanks
Jane
