    how much extra do your cd bars and tetras cost you??

    Mine charges £2.05 for the bars and tetras which is quite a lot more than my first CDC. He comes to the house though which saves on petrol and I find more convenient as he comes when my 3 year old is at nursery. Laura x

    feeling so discouraged :(-updated after weigh in!

    Barbiegirl is right, the last 2 weeks I haven't noticed a big loss on the scales but when I measured myself I had lost 5" off my waist. I thought my clothes seemed a bit looser but couldn't understand why the weight was the same. Laura x

    Tetra question

    Hiya :) I have had my band for coming up 3 years now. The first year was great, lost over 8 stone but the last 2 years I stopped losing and started to gain a bit. I decided the cambridge would be the way to go as I pretty much lived on liquids anyway. Trouble was I replaced one bad habit...

    Tetra question

    Hi everyone, If you have 2 tetras a day but have them as milk in coffee does this make a difference to the effectiveness of the vitamins and minerals in the diet? My gastric band has tightened up in the last few days and it seems the only way I can get my meals in. I know you shouldn't...

    What is the real reason we're on a VLCD cd

    As I have a gastric band the cd suits me as I was on a liquid diet pretty much anyway. It was the liquids I was choosing that was the problem :( Laura x

    is anyone worried about baggy skin?

    From my heaviest weight I have lost around 10 stone. I have some loose skin on my stomach but no where near as bad as I thought it was going to be. I have always been reasonably active and walk miles and miles, I think this has really helped. I still would like to lose around another 4...

    whats your favorite

    Don't like any of the soups which surprised me as I would eat a lot of soup usually. I like all the shakes, favorites are probably butterscotch, choc orange, vanilla and chocolate mint but I have tried them all and like them all. The bars are lethal for me, cannot stop at one and particularly...

    What shakes would you invent?

    Coconut and pineapple would be great. Caramel and nut bar turkish delight bar or shake lemon and lime bar a savory bar would be good toffee shake raspberry shake tropical fruit shake or bar More water flavouring choices would be good. Another hour and I could probably think of...
