    Has anyone had problems losing weight with gall bladder problems

    Oh god exact same as me!! Had my GB removed March 2012. After that lost and gained the same couple of pounds or so every week. So frustrating. Even when I was on a proper run of being 100% still no better results. I think the main issue is, you've lost an organ from your digestive system and...

    ahh thanks, first full week back after a year or 2 so I'm quite pleased. Followed it to the letter! I'm not a fan of quark either so maybe just use a couple of spoonfuls at the end to thicken it up? It's really good! Tasty!!

    Jo Jo will not Yo-Yo anymore!!

    Hi all! I'm a sw restarter, and went to my weigh in tonight after my first full week back. Lost 2 pounds which I was pleased with but I know some people would think that a little low for the first week... I think slowly slowly but that kinda loss every week won't be bad? What does everyone think?

    What do you use your syns for? EE

    You could even just use a few up by adding mayo to tuna? Or have your healthy b as bread some days and use spread on sandwiches or toast? That's what I'm doing. Good that your choccy cravings have gone though ;)

    I did Cambridge so was obsessed with weighing myself everyday, but with sw it can be slowly slowly so weighing yourself too much can be discouraging.... AVOID LIKE CHOCOLATE! Haha x

    Re- starting tomrrow. I'll need help please

    Yes I agree prob one of the higher cal plans would be good for you to start with then you can work your way downwards. I know of people who have done it this way and you will still lose the weight... I think this will be fine x x

    Oh my god you lost 7 stone already though so you must have some willpower!!! I felt like i would never ever lose any weight and felt destined i would feel massive forever!!!

    a well deserved treat (food mentioned)

    You have to be able to set yourself a treat now and then...it gives you extra motivation i find!!! After 2 weeks on ss I ordered a chinese takeaway and only ate a fraction of it. Was so so full afterwards!! Husband was thrilled as he got to finish it off for me !!!
