Thank you Hun I'm really glad you like my SP thread.
Mine just updated the minimins mobile app and it's completely different to the old one so I don't have a clue what I'm doing. Haha. xxx

Thought I would have a productive Sunday so I decided to weigh & bag up all my Healthy Extras.
Not only does it save time when in a hurry but it's also really good for knowing when you are down to your last couple of portions of cereal or cheese.
Here we have 35g of plain porridge oats, 35g Nestle Shredded Wheat, 35g of Nestle Coco Shreddies, 40g of Weetabix Crunchy Bran. 30g of Red Leicester cheese & 30g of Cheddar.
This should all keep me going & on plan for a while. I got the little snack bags from Poundland which are a great size for your portions too. I have also seen some similar bags in Asda & Sainsbury's.

Good evening everyone
Sorry I have not been around for the last few days. I had a little gain on Tues weigh in of 0.5lbs not that much but I haven't been eating much due to this stomach problem with the acid reflux.
Yesterday I went into hospital for the gastroscopy procedure too. It all went really well, I was so nervous but the drs and nurses were really fantastic. I did giggle though as as soon as I was taken to my own room the nurse asked me what I would like to eat and drink after the op (as I had been nil by mouth since 6am) lol.
The Gastroscopy showed no signs of ulceration or tumours which is good but the next step now is to undergo the HP 24 hour test. It basically means I will have a tube inserted through my nose down into my stomach and have to wear it for 24 hours and eat and drink as normal so they can see whats going on. The dr seems to think I will need an op to tighten the opening valve to my stomach so we will see where it goes from there.
How are you all anyway? You all sticking to plan? I have 3 weeks until our holiday now and can't wait. xxx

Morning SK... What a great idea those little baggies are. I've sometimes done a couple of servings into sarnie bags, but they look a mess..lol.. Those look like they would sit neatly in a basket or a shelf! (Can you tell I have slight OCD issues..lol..) I shall have to have a look for those and it's will save time for sure and for those moments when I plump for something else because I can't be bothered of a morning when I get in from work.
Glad your procedure went ok and your holiday will soon be here! Ours in 97 days away, not that I'm counting!
Last week I stayed the same so that was quite hard after I'd been good, and the first time I'd not lost since I began, but * week was imminent so I think that was the reason. This week I lost 2lb so am pleased with that, got lots of new recipes to try this week so looking forward to trying those!

Glad they didn't find any ulcers or damage from the reflux.
Thanks Hun.
It could quite possibly be GERD but until I have this next test done I won't know much more.
Have you had any tests done yet for yours?
It's hard for me to tell what's causing it because I have constant heartburn and acid reflux. Lol typically.
Here's a pic my hubby took of me not long after coming round from the sedation and I was greeted with my cheese sandwiches and pot of tea lol.
Keep me updated on how you get on xxx

Hey all
I have not been around again lol. Been so busy with the new job at the pharmacy and just had my new tattoo done too which I absolutely love.
Will post some pics tomorrow as they are on my phone but you can see it slightly in my new profile piccy on here.
My SW aint going too well at the moment, suffering terribly again with the acid reflux but I am pleased to get my next hospital appointment through on 31st March where I will be having the 24 hour oesophageal ph test done. Basically I have to wear a tube through my nose and into my stomach for 24 hours and have a monitor attached to it so I will keep you all updated on how it goes.
How are you all anyway? You all keeping okay? xxx
