Oh god I can still remember that pain, wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy!! For some people even eating totally fat free foods can bring on an attack so they have my complete sympathy as mine were only ever brought on by fatty foods. Hope the results of your scan get you a surgery appt soon xx

I had mine removed 4 years ago and feel fabulous! No pain whatsoever I can eat whatever I like its great!

My dd is pregnant 9 weeks to go and her midwife told her its safe to take till she gives birth so she's still taking it

Hi, I've had surgery for gallstones but I still remember the pain I used to get whenever I had an attack so you have my sympathy!! Def avoid fatty foods and also spicy ones as they can cause a build up of acid which pushes the stones up into the gallbladder duct. I'd recommend going to the...

Hi darbydoo You should reddish have your healthy extras as these are beneficial to your health ie, calcium and fibre. Without these your body will miss out on these nutrients.

Oooo its gotta be Dean! Just love him so much, so sexy especially his eyes and kissable lips mmmmm:)!

Her that plays mercedes in hollyoaks is terrible I'm always shouting at the tele when she comes on lol

Hey did you try out the gym on monday?

Eggs are quite high in fat though which you have to be careful with when you have gallstones. Why not try rosemary connelly diet, that works on calorie allowance plus a no more than 5% fat rule I'm led to believe

Aw sorry hun I haven't got a clue, I'm a newbie to this calorie counting! Just wanted to sympathise with the gallstones. I had them for quite a while before I got diagnosed and the pain was horrendous! are you going to have an operation? I had mine out and it was the best thing ever xxx

Well done! I'm now on day 5 and am doing great, a friend whose a smoker came for a visit and was smoking while having a cuppa, didn't bother me one bit!

Ouuuu I can't wait to start! Have taken pictures today of myself-fullon,back and from the side so can't wait to see the after results once I reach target weight and I'm all tight and not wobbly anymore lol

Thank you:)

Ah cool, did she give you a review of it? Mine should come tuesday with any luck yay!

Oooo bacon butty sounds good!

Thanks yes I'm getting confused a bit with it all lol I'll have a play with mfp and see what it says xxx

That's great Little sis thank you xxx

Please could I join in! If I lost 25lbs by Christmas I would be at goal weight woo hoo:) Please could someone copy and paste me in I don't know how to do it from this stupid phone haha. Foodfairy xxx

Thanks for the advice ladies, I'll see how I get on with the 5kg and if I find myself struggling I can always nip down to sports shop (we have loads around here) and get a lower weight. I'm gutted today, was supposed to be doing Race For Life but with the bronchitis I can't do it boo! Stuck at...

good luck for tonight curvalicious im sure you'll do fine :) and welcome back judy :)

welcome back to sw chris, good luck with weigh in tonight and well done on your losses so far :)

hmm never thought about that karion, i'll ask the herbalist about that when i go have a look :eek: i thought the same about it sounding similar to xenical yesterday so i'll ask about that too, hopefully they wont be as strong!!

thanks for that :) luckily i dont have one but thanks for the tip :D

im not a huge fan of slimming tablets, ive tried many and they've not worked but noticed an advert in my local health food shop selling one called chitosan 3 for 2 at £8.99 each. got home and thought id research it on the net and found out that although its not been scientifically proven...

yes it is the hardest to get off but im planning on doing a fair bit of walking this week so hopefully i can maintain seeing as im having a flexi day :)

i only suffer on green days if i have white carbs such as bread & pasta which ive just had as i ran out of wholewheat pasta so i'll no doubt end up with a massive headache later on doh!! dont get bloated though so at least thats one good thing. hope you feel better now :hug99:

forgot to add that i mostly forget to portion watch though lol

congratulations mrs H, i find that when im portion watching while doing sw i have better losses so it does work :)

lost another lb this week which is good :) planning on having a flexi night on wednesday as me and OH are going out for a meal and a few drinks for our 4 year anniversary of when we got together :D cant really afford it like but never mind lol

yep, a very good start. how are you finding now a few days down the line ?

sonia, my kids are now on holiday with their dad, only got eldest DS here and hes 15 so not in much anyway. its soooo quiet here i can hear a pin drop :eek:

how do i get a spinny? ive earned one for this week ive tried c&p but it doesnt spin!!!

another star for yesterday :D

went well yesterday, had a diet coke at the cinemas and took a bag of malteasers and grapes with me instead of buying anything so very pleased with myself :D we did have a chinese last night and a drink but i counted it all in my syns and have only 5 left for today but thats all i need really...

glad you're still going strong hun, i know what you mean about being a green girl - you can eat so much more 'comfort' foods on green :D

yay!!! well done to your mum, i bet she has a great time being a consultant :D

uh oh.....saturdays here again!! saturdays always seem to be my downfall but ive planned in advance for today so hopefully my willpower will win through especially when were at the cinema tonight :rolleyes:

yup everything at sw is going electronic - new scales that have got a swipe card system where every member gets their own personal card with their weights/gains, weeks missed etc, dunno how it'll go down with the members but i think its a good idea :D

just got 2 more stars for yesterday and today.......almost got my first ever spinny :party0011:

hiya frannybunny, as torquay said, we all get day/weeks like that but the important thing is to get back on track asap and dont feel too guilty about it, we have got a life to lead afterall ;) try and eat plenty of s & ss foods if you're still feeling bad about it but you should be ok, 1 slip...

no, theyre only 1.5 syns each according to syns online :eek: i didnt know that, i'll have to get some myself now :eek:

hiya minime, yes you can officially have 2 alpen light bars as a healthy extra b although some consultants dont advertise this to members as they fear it might limit the number of sales of their hifi bars which they get commision from but my consultant told us a while ago about them being an...

damn, just typed out my diary for yesterday and then pressed something and lost it :mad: anyway, i had a red day, drank 2.5ltrs water and used 13 syns when i only wanted to use 5!!

must admit sonia, the kids use the trampoline more than me too and ive not used it since the other day, i keep looking at it but thats as far as i get lol :D loopy, im glad you like the quiche its lovely and filling and SYN FREEEEE yay!! hope you're ok with maintaining it is disheartening at...

hiya minime, dont know about the muller layers ive never had them but heard good stuff about them :) can i just advise you though, rice cant be had as a B choice on a red day - not even brown rice as theres not enough fibre in it to qualify, sorry hun :(

hiya busy, dont be too upset hun, you'll probably get a big loss next week as your body will have had more of a chance to get used to the new diet. i remember my first weigh in with sw about 4 years ago - i actually put ON a lb and was mortified, but i stuck with it and got a bigger loss the...

i think i'll take some grapes with me and buy a diet coke while im there, thanks for the ideas :D

have you tried one yet!!!! :)

well done on the 4lbs :D

sounds good but wont the eggs still be raw :confused:

thank youuuu :D

well im trying to read terry pratchetts 'reaper man' but its very confusing lol. ive had it about a year or so and only picked it up the other day :eek: its soooo funny in parts but cant fathom out what them bloody wizards are talking about :read:

seen the films but havent read the books even though DS has all of them. his copy came on saturday morning and it took him just 2 days to finish it and hes started to read it again now!!

just collecting my stars for today and yesterday, im feeling really positive at the moment ;)

i need some help as to what to take/buy for the cinema on saturday, low syn if possible. we're off to see the new simpsons movie and i know if im not prepared i'll devour a huuuuge bucket of popcorn and thats not good lol :rolleyes:

another really good day today, ive finally stopped smoking (well only had 3 fags as opposed to 20 odd but its a start :rolleyes:), dusted off my rebounder and done 2x5 mins, again its a start lol and ive had a good day on the sw plan :) tuesday 24th july - red day...

hry dont worry about it hun, ive been swapping and changing diets like crazyyyy over the last few months but im back where i first started with sw as its the best one there is :D good luck and welcome back ;)

the rum & raisin ones are lovely but my favourite of all has to be the mince pie ones mmmmmmmmmm :drool:

yes, they are all gorgeous!!!! bit pricey though on ebay, do you know anyone who goes to class who can pick up some for you instead ?

just thought of chilli con carne, you can have the kidney beans as a healthy extra b......spag bol, pasta as a b choice, sheperds pie and have swede mash as the topping!!!

stir frys are a good choice for red days, with lean meat of your choice marinaded in chillis, lime, soy or lea & perrins :) or a chicken and bacon salad.......chicken stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon.....fish with roasted veggies......err thats all i got at the minute lol :D

ouch!!! sorry cant help but i hope its better soon :)
