Give it a whizz, it transformed my life! Costs a lot to dispense so they're tight as hell with it, I had to appeal against my GP's decision to eventually get it, what a performance!!

I went to bed last night bloody starving, it was physically painful LOL! Today I have split my drinks up and that means I have six little meals a day, this has made things easier for me as I will have a mini shake about 9pm to get me through the night! Is boullion allowed on SS then? I'd sell...

I get these pains too, never had them before in my life. The National Institute of Clinical Excellence (the bees knees of health guidelines!) say you can SS for twelve weeks with no problems at all. CD only say s four but I can assure you it's safe to SS for twelve. I think the pains are...

I have never ever been anything near slim in all my life. I've tried every concievable diet on this earth, lost loads at times but always put it on! All my family were fat, now they're not and I am the last one! Sis lost 13 stone, bro 5, dad three, mum two!

I moved in with my bloke two months after we met online!!!! It is incredible, nothing like it in the world unless there's a shortage of money-that is grim!! Makes life very stressful!! A holiday together will be a good indicator of how well you'll cope living together!!

Hahahahaha, ooooooo it's two bags of sugar!! When anyone says that to me I feel like punching them straight in the mouth!!!

I bet you next week you'll have a whopping loss!! It works like that!! Next week you'll be all smiles!

I have switched from SW to CD SS, started on Saturday and already shifted 8lb so grit your teeth, and think of stepping on the scales the first time when the pounds will have fallen off! This is the best but hardest diet.

I used to detest being even slightly warm, refused to have heating on even in winter! Lived in short sleeves and never ever wore a coat! Since losing weight I wear about three hundred and seventy two layers of clothing, I am permanently sat near a radiator or heater (even better if both!) and...

My CDC said week three and she's a Nurse, very militant counsellor LOL!! ANd that stuff to flavour water, not allowed that til week three grrrrr!

One thing you'll notice is your pooh will go black and they will constipate you!!

OK, this might get me banned or something LOL?! [email protected]

This is embarrassing but how do I get my PM's LOL! :eek: I don't think I can get them!! Are we allowed to put our email on the posts?

My sis lost thirteen stone and went down twelve sizes, I have lost three stone and gone down one size!!

Bumpy... Vaniqa is amazing. It dries spots up too!! Works wonders on facial hair but you have to actually be removing it for it to work, not every day or anything but you do have to be actively removing it. It took about two weeks to start working for me I think. My sister asked for it and...

I lived in Hinckley up until recently, then I upped sticks and moved two hundred miles away to Leeds in the name of love! It's quite lonely, I don't work locally as I run my own business which takes me away a hell of a lot so can't make friends locally which makes it harder. I have found that...

Scots... Vaniqa has been a life saver for me although I still have to 'attack' most mornings but nothing like I had to. I have this cream in abundance if you wanted to try some? I can send you a tube to try, if you want it just PM me.A tube will last about a month and then you'll have a good...

Oh right, i suppose a tiny dribble of sugar free squash won't kill it all too much. Better a diddy dribble and drink lots more water than no squash and not enough water!!! Does anyone else use a diddy bit of sugar free squash on SS?

Hahahahahahahaha my God I would sell my family for a bit of pork crackling!!!!!!!!

I can not believe anyone can drink more than two litres and not lose the will to live LOL!! It is GRIM, awful stuff!! I can't do black tea so I have to have a dribble of skimmed milk which I know won't help with the ketosis! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!!

LOL me too, well I am thirty in April. No desire to reproduce at all LOL! I find the water intake more stressful than the food abstinence!!! :cry:

Eleven days? Jesus, I'd be climbing the walls!!!!!!!! I resort to habitually overdosing on Movicol.

You are obviously far more refined than me, I'd sling the preverbial at him as much as possible!! I'd be bouncing and use the 'c' word repeatedly!!

LOL, Sunday's are my worst day too! Although I am only a newbie to CD so have only had to endure one! Every time I think of food (I crave pork crackling!) I imagine the day my boyfriend can actually get his arms round me and the day I can stop shopping at Evans! My CDC has this saying and it...

My sister lost thirteen stone, went from a size 32 to a size 6/8. When she was bigger she was such a confident and outgoing person, when the weight came off she became absolutely obsessed with food, lived off a bowl of soup a day, exercised like a maniac, and became so body conscious that her...

LOL, you want to try being a size 26, then you'll feel elephantine!! ;-)

LOL I'd be ecstatic at a size 18 LOL!!!

I found the fibre 89 was as horrific as the husk, they both give me the most horrendous colicky feeling. Unbearable. I rely on movicol but it's not ideal, not at all!

I don't think you look top heavy, I am total opposite, a 44B!! Looks ridiculous! Anyway, well done you! I have lost three stone and only went down one bloomin size!!!! Although I think I tricked myself into believing I was a size smaller than I really was haha!! So perhaps two REAL sizes...

God, I retch when drinking thr water, it's awful. I seldom manage two litres even. I have to hold my nose and just glug then put up with about two minutes of retching haha!! However, my CDC who is also a RGN tells me how vital the water is, it is as important as cutting things out. She says...

Yeah, that'd be a good idea, not sure if it's practical? Isn't always easy. Plenty of online search things for international phone numbers. What a pig, it is awful. My Dad's only done it twice and both times we ended up laughing about it! I am a nurse and I have had people pooh on my head...

It'd be better for your dad to get home, my Dad once had a massive heart attack in Portugal, it was dreadful. They wouldn't let him fly, he was stuck in a horrible ICU, nobody spoke English, I had to go in every day to wash him which he was absolutely mortified about, I ended up staying with...

I urge anyone constipated to try Movicol, get it on prescription, tall GP you use two a day and you'll get 60 for £6.85-bargain! It is great, really softens everything. I used to pooh twice a day, on CD I average once every other day which is very uncomfortable so I clear myself with movicol...

I did SW three times and lost terrific amounts of weight but it all went back on (and more!) every single time! I'm on CD and the results have been incredible, it's hard work but well worth it. And much cheaper than living off steak, chicken, beef, lamb etc etc, it used to cost me an absolute...

That made me feel so sad. My Dad is quite ill and has been for some time, I've resuscitated him three times now. I adore him, I have dealt with him at four in the morning when he's been covered in s**t after a perforated ulcer. It washes off for christ's sake! I couldn't give a flying hoot...

Did they do blood tests for the IBS or colonoscopy? Mine is dreadful. Apparently a link with candida in the gut, I am going to try some caneston tablets, see if they help. It is very grim, but I'd much much prefer the runs than the stand-stills that I have!!!

Yeah, a full MOT is a good idea, I pay a fortune for mine after a scare. Once the PCOS are diagnosed things will improve greatly. Check with your CDC about metformin as I know it affects sugar in the body, if you're allowed it take it, it is incredible!! Works wonders for PCOS, it regulates...

I think it would be akin to my chap talking constantly about, say, football. I ave absolutely no interest in it whatsoever but I politely nod and pretend it's all very thrilling! All he hears about is constipation, wind, shakes, soup and my constant nattering about how I'd sacrifice a limb for...

Perhaps they're feeders LOL?! My other half is an angel, infact he's the reason I initially lost 42lb before going on CD. It was his motivating me that kept me on the right track. When I was doing low fat/low carb he'd go out every morning and get me a fresh cooked chicken, fresh ham, and he...

Pooh! I will do my mother hen bit here and say: Do be careful with the lax ones and if you use more than twice a week, think about swapping to movicol or dulcoease. The problem with lax is it doesn't soften the stool so if it's quite hard, it'll feel like it's stuck. If you added a bit of the...

Personally I'd take a very small dose every couple of days. Is it a substance you add to the CD drinks or do you mix it with water? The movicol, you mix it with 125ml of water, as a maintenance does I'd have 50ml every day, that wouldn't do you any harm I wouldn't think but if dulcoease works...

That is absolutely shocking! Disgraceful actually. She obviously lacks the integrity necessary for a CDC. It's a last ditch thing but you could buy the stuff off eBay although I know that's not ideal as you need the CDC in the process. It is a terrible way to behave. Do you have her home...

Well using them once a week won't do any harm whatsoever. I live off bloody movicol! It has become me best friend!!

LOL, are you IBS or not? That'd explain the 'stuck' feeling! I use peppermint oil (colpermin capsule) which helps to relax everything. I'm SS and find that after spending years filling my body with crap it went into shock at not having that anymore, I lost 42lbs just doing healthy eating and...

I have recently had exactly the same thing and so has my sister. We both had irregular results but we're fine. Colposcopy is fine, just a little undignified! You definitely sound like you have PCOS, I have exactly same symptoms and am confirmed PCOS. Get the appropriate blood tests done to...

Dulcoease/Dulcolax The difference is one is an osmotic laxative, the other is a purgative laxative. Dulcoease is a stool softener and works in exactly the same way as movicol-it makes the stools retain more moisture, making them softer. Dulcolax is a laxative like senna is, it is very habit...

I use movicol and have done for months now, it is a great solution and is non habit forming unlike senna, dulco, etc. I don't have any side effects at all from it unlike the Fibre 89-that stuff is awful for me LOL! Gives me horrendous gripes in my stomach. None of that with Movicol. I use...

I have the most horrific gripey stomach with this supplement, I just can't tolerate it at all. It sits in the stomach and ferments, it's horrid! Movicol is much better.

My friend started at size 22 and is now size 8/10 and looks great! She did the sole source for a month then switched to 790 and it took her about five months.

Everybody says this is a very expensive diet but in reality it works out much much cheaper than the weekly shop. I used to spend about £30 a week on takeaways so this works out about the same as just my takeaways. Obviously none of this is much consolation when you're absolutely skint but you...

Hope this helps! I have constipation prevalent IBS and have suffered for the past three months terribly. I do the CD sole source and I found that the inulin supplement was wholly incompatible as it caused terrible bloating and colicy stomach. I use movicol, it has absolutely no carbs or fat...
