Thx dearheart. I haven't been taking any extra vit but I've been laying like a log in bed. I am not a good sick person 🤮 Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

*sigh* restriction, I have very little. So the idea of leaving food on the plate for me is [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Ooh I need this as that's my difficult time Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Tell me about it. Chocolate is my kryptonite. Luckily (or unluckily) these days it makes me dump if I have more than a little bit and the sugar free stuff makes me spend the night on the porcelain throne. I paid good money for precisely that! Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

One thing other peeps tell me I'm good at: fixing other people's computer /Internet issues (it helps that a lifetime ago I worked at an ISP on the helpdesk [emoji16]) Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

13. One skill or hobby you want to take up. I have three and I can't choose between them. When I get down a bit more, Imma reactivate my scuba license; take up horseriding with my daughter and start doing zumba/aerobics Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Baaahaha haha but an evil death stare is very useful to have in your arsenal as well. Like, when a dude tries to cut in line in front of you at border control at the airport. Dude had a serious rethink coming. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

I love this thread! Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Sorry for going all religious, but that's just me. In Islamic theology, everything that happens to us - the good and the bad of it - comes from the Creator, so if I experience a disappointment say, not managing to have more babbies, I remind myself that whatever comes my way is for my ultimate benefit in bringing me to my Lord. I know it sounds all religious, but that genuinely is my outlook on life and it's helped me through infertility, life-threatening illness, mental health problems and ordinary life crap.

This is SO true!!! Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

The struggle is real! Are you tracking what you're eating? Concentrating on firm protein first? Avoiding high GI carbs? Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

10. One thing I'm good at: research and writing - boring but true 11. My favourite part of my body: I'm rather partial to my face. Since I've lost some weight it's less round and more heart shaped and I'm liking it more and more. 12. A negative thought I'm ready to let go of: that if I don't lose weight one week that it's all over red rover. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

9. One piece of advice I'd give to myself a year ago today: concentrate on protein and produce, you can give up the sugary stuff! It's doable! Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Yeah I found Abilify made me put on weight (this was b4 surgery) so I flat out refused to take it. I promised my pdoc that if I start having bipolar issues I will take it, but I'm very strict with my sleep and daylight hygiene so so far so good. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

8. A bad habit I'd like to break is snacking over my calorie allowance in the evening. I tend to go "an extra 100 cals won't hurt" so I need to be firmer with myself. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Yum yum yum. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Well now I have one of those tickedy-boo things, lads! And to my surprise I've lost 40 kilos since my original Lapband in 2009. Half of that is since my gastric bypass surgery in Oct 18. Actually, maybe I'll reset the ticker just to show my bypass weight loss - it's more meaningful to me these days.

Baritastic. I had to install the apk outside of the Google play store because inexplicably it's not listed in Ireland [emoji849] Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Gosh, I've discovered I have to be careful fasting. I've still a got a few of last year's Ramadan to make up so I thought I'd get them over and done with. Day one was fine but day two - sheesh talk about dizzy! I think I didn't rehydrate enough in the evening after the first day so I was dehydrated in the next one and as I've been having low blood pressure issues anyhow it was compounded by fasting. So my lesson, folks, is rehydrate, rehydrate, rehydrate!!, Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

Why stop there, model all of you, you're gorgeous! Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

7. What's not to love? [emoji12] One thing about myself that I love is that I'm a kickass mum. My girly adores me and tells me how fabulous I am, so it must be true. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

I've got everything (incl dill) except the yoghurt but I go shopping tommoz! Woot, ta! Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app

You look fabulous! [emoji182][emoji106]And those food porn pics are to die for! I would suggest a change of careers - either supermodel or posh bariatric chef. Sent from my SM-G930F using BariatricPal mobile app
