Tuesday Weighers

[Nikkiruth]

Well I lost 2.5 lb's this week, so over the moon, and got into the 14's finally, well done to all those who have lost and STS and if you did gain keep positive, I did, I gained a half pound last week and was really down, but stuck at it and lost it plus another 2lb so If I can do it so can you. Keep up the good work to everyone!

Feel like crying, since I've been in hospital with bowel blockage, and had to avoid fruit and veg, and given up smoking (surgeons advice) I've gained 0.5 and then 1 lb. It's been so hard, cravings constantly, feeling hormonal and can't eat super free foods! Been trying o compensate with lentil/ bean/ tomatoe stew but gave in to rich tea biscuits and marshmallows. Need some help this week any tips welcome. Dani

I know exactly how you feel, hun. My diet went totally out the window 2 weeks ago when I was in hosp myself. I ended up feeling so down that I considered quitting altogether. Stick with it though!
As for tips... if you're giving up the smokes, you're going to look for things to do with your hands and mouth - eating is the easiest thing to do. My advice is to try the patches, if you can. They are excellent! I tried them and after a week of not smoking, a week of hardly even having a craving, I had to stop because I was allergic to the glue But during that week, I didn't eat all around myself like I did the other times I gave up smoking.
Other than that... try some Fybogel sachets... they're great for the bowels. I have IBS and they really work a treat for me.
*note to self* Take own advice, since you've been constipated for 4 days lol

Don't give up, hun. You may surprise yourself and have a really good loss next week! I had a STS due to the hospital and my routine being out of whack last week, and this week I lost 5.5lb and got slimmer of the week! Chin up x x

You might have some water retention still from the hospital if they had you on a drip. I still have some water retention and I'm out two weeks now.

Just wanted to share my awards . Feeling rather proud .
My consultant hit a chord with me tonight & I had to fight back the tears .
She said as I walked in I walked like the bigger person I was and told me I should walk tall and be proud . It's hard to accept I think . I hated myself for so long couldn't see why anyone would want to talk to me and even like me . Think it's gonna take my brain a while to catch up with my body

 

[rainbow_brite]

Lost 1lb this week, yay!
Well done to everyone, and mrs b you're amazing!! x

Your consultant is absolutely right! You should put on some heels and practice a new walk in front of a mirror with some SWAGGER!! You go, girl!!!
