You can also use potato. I have a crisp maker for the micro. I bought it at Trago (for the Devon/Cornwall crowd). Peel potatoes. slice thinly (you can try putting a bit of frylight on if you want. That's how I did them last night but can't remember if I usually do) In micro for 3 mins and check...

Sorry but I'm not going to be able to make it. Although feeling very well I do think it would be too much for me. Next time! Have lots of fun and enjoy your window shopping:D

I do wonder if a lot of your problems have been due to the fact that you were not given a compression garment to wear. Mine was put on in recovery. I spoke to my consultant yesterday who said 1 month for the lovely stockings (to stop DVT), 6 weeks for my corset and not to go to work until I...

Ooh that is so fab. Aren't you lucky and I'll look forward to seeing the pics when it's finished. Ideas for organising all the stuff is always handy. I love scrapbooking and have started coming back to cards again after going away from it for a while. Scrapping kinda took over! We're moving...

I am sure that you will find it is TOTM and nothing more. Stick with it. Did you take your measurements before you started? I sometimes found that the tape measure changed even if the scales didn't. We have also had people in class that have stayed the same or a small loss in the first week...

I don't know if this will help anyone but when I started SW I knew I had to find something I could do forever. Having tried most other diets I didn't do them after and the weight went back on and more:mad:. With SW I can live with it forever. If I go out I can work round it so the weight...

Just thought I would add that I have had 3 c. sections and a hysterectomy and this is very different. My back is aching a lot because you have to walk stooped whereas with my other ops it's walk upright asap. Because it's not just the scar at the bikini line coughing and moving is a bit...

I'm pleased you seem to be on the mend now. You have really been through the mill. Had mine done on Wednesday and I don't feel too bad. One part pulls a lot but not too bad apart from that.

ps had another quick look and saw mexicana cheese. Is that a healthy extra? A or B? Don't know if that's ok without checking my book

As long as your 1/3 and 2/3 are accurate it looks ok. What are you doing about healthy extras, syns and snacks? Don't forget that snacks need to be super free and any syns need to be synned at the higher value if they are different red to green. Any one who has tried it in our group always...

Wannabeminime has added my name and I am going to try and make it but depends how I am feeling as it will only be 10 days after my tummy tuck (but also the day before my birthday:)) Will have to let you know nearer the time.

Definately worth a read. There is also info about new healthy extras that have been added. I cut out all the recipes that I would make to keep in a folder, I write any healthy extras I would use into the back of my book and recycle the bits I don't need.

Speed foods are the foods that are the most beneficial for your weight loss. Super speed foods (symbol ss) are doubly so! Eat plenty of these and your weight losses should be better. If your losses have slowed increase your speed foods will give you a boost. When you fill your food diary...

I'm glad you've got the shorts. The hospital have told me that I'll need to wear a corest for a while after. They get it for me and it laces up so you can get it really tight! Didn't realise how critical it was going to be. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Helping at school. :cry:One day next week? Tues?

Hi Lovepuff you sweetie you. Love this site, so much info and extra ideas. Hugs to you and Bex (can't remember your 'name') And we haven't had a Jezza sesh this week!

Pleased to hear that as I have lost with SW, doing CD as I have plateued(?) for a long time, losing now but want to go back to SW to maintain in a couple of weeks time. It's nice to know what to expect and well done you for starting to lose again.

Nadhak, we found that age brill to take them. Our youngest was also only 17 months and they all had a fab time in different ways. The wonderful thing about Florida is that all ages are cateered for. Have a super time (I love the lead up to a Florida trip too.:))

On days like that I find it best to go green. I find it much more filling and stisfying when I have the munchies or need stodge!

Rergarding wheat intolerance have you checked out the gf pasta, I think it maybe free if you fancy doing some green. Andof course you have rice. I eat more rice and potato on green. Rice or potato with ratouille is lush (healthy option of cheese too). If you talk to your consultant they...

Thanks. Forgot to ask when I went so if you don't mind asking that would be fab, ta

I was wondering if anybody could tell me if you can have rice milk or soya yoghurt instead of ss milk if you're doing 790? I don't have much dairy because I feel dreadful if I do so would this be ok instead? Ta

Hi, I am quite new here too but on day 4. It seems that even if you start flagging come on here and you will get bucketfuls of support. So far so good for me and I can feel I have lost already. That certainly helps to motivate you onto the next day. Stick with it and you can do it. I have...

It sounds like you are definately on the road to recovery now. Hopefully all problems are now behind you and the future is only positive stuff. When I had my sections (3) it was 2 weeks before I could lay on my side and it is a smaller cut so hopefully it won't be long before you can do that...

ps hope all goes well (i think it is) tomorrow and you will be feeling better.

Thanks a lot and I'm going to give it a go:)

I think I will try it like that. Will it be ok to start this week as I'm going out for a family meal on Saturday (parents silver wedding anniversary). Carvery and dessert (hopefully fresh fruit salad or something else good). Sorry to keep asking.

Thank you for that. I have read about ss and 790. Is the only difference that you lose the weight more quickly with ss? I think I could probably manage it for a while particularly with my goal in sight, light at the end of the tunnel (can't think of any more cliches!).

Don't know how to do that but nobody knows who I am so..... 12st 5 and 5'3''.

Hi, I put this on the sw forum but no answers so I'm trying here! I have been on sw for nearly 4 years and have lost 5 stone. I have been at my weight now for 2 years but it is a little high. Just can't seem to lose any more so I thought I've still lost 5 stone and booked in to tummy tuck on...

My daughter comes with me. Basically they encourage them to make healthy choices, they are allowed unlimited healthy extras and 'grow' into their weight. Stay the same weight and as they get taller they will become a normal weight. Hopefully the healthy eating they are learning will stay with...

You can only have wholegrain pasta as a healthy b on red not rice but I had the amount of pasta you can have once and it's really not worth it:cry:

Hi, I'm new here. Have been going to sw for nearly 4 years and lost 5 stone. However have been at my current weight for about 2 years which, to be honest, is still a bit high. Just can't lose anymore. I food optimise 100% and stay the same, some weeks it's not 100% and still stay the same...

I have just found this site but am booked in for surgery in 5 weeks and 4 days. It was great to read your account and have some idea of what to expect. Going to private hospital; NHS turned me down:cry:Thank you and I am sure you will be pleased with the results once you are in less pain.
