Glad you have this surgery over, i had mine taken out over 3 years ago, best thing i ever did!! The pains from the gas are horrible!! your lucky to be out so soon, i had to stay in for 9 days :( wishing you a speedy recovery!!

Thanks louise, time for you to put pictured on soon!!

Thanks so much!! I started this at the beginning of january, have been really strict as i am desperate for it now!! Been over weight way too long! Thanks again!!

Thank you so much for the lovely comments, i was very nervous about posting pictures but i am now glad i did!! :smile:

Thanks so much Jude, its thanks to you and the rest of the girls for all the support!!

Thanks again! And thanks emma, your support has been such a help, so has yours leanne!!

Thanks hun!!

i have figured it out now, at last thanks!!

Hopefully this will work :)

i cant figure out how to post the pics!! Thanks for your comment!! :D

I had mine taken out nearly 4 years ago. I suffer alot with what they call dumping (Sorry for TMI) sometimes as soon as i have finished eating i have to run straight to the toilet,i am sure this is connected. It doesnt seem to matter too much what it is i eat, as at the moment i am on a very low fat diet, so its not the…

I have suffered from depression and panic attacks since i had my first child in 2003!! I have tried to come off the medication a couple of times, but each time the panic attacks start again. I am hoping that when i have lost more weight maybe i will feel happy enough to be able to come off them once and for all. Although…

:laugh: i might try that one lol

i like response #1, very good!! I have had people ask me, some even say to me are you not eating. Would i still be walking around and have energy if i wasnt eating!!

Well done on staying true to yourself, thats half the battle!! You could of eaten from the drivethru but the only person you would of been cheating is yourself, so give yourself a big slap on the back, well done!! Big well done on the weight loss too!!

I also suffer with IBS mainly the diarrhea side of it, but sometimes do get bloated too!! It can get you down so much at times!! I have had very sever cases of it, and it can be embarrassing too. I have suffered with it since i had my first child almost 8 years ago, when i had post natal depression. I cant seem to find any…

would love to know the opinions on this as i am exactly the same!!

I am going to have to give the pro-biotics a shot i think, although have recently been drinking pepper mint tea which is supposed to be good for IBS

Thanks for that, i am in ireland and there really isnt much choice in the varieties of peanut butter!!

I will give that a try thanks :)

I am here for support and friendship, i have about 113 to lose now, having so far lost 41 pounds this year. I have been up and down for so many years now :sad: I would lose some then get pregnant and put it all back on, no more babies for me now :laugh: after having 2 c-sections! So i am determined to lose this weight now…

Very interesting read, thank you for that!! Its really given me some ideas of what i could be doing to help myself!! I was telling myself off for having at least 1 spoon of reduced fat peanut butter each day, but i do find it feels me up at the time i am having it!! Thanks again!!

Everyone tells me they can see it gone off my back and my sides, even my legs. i know i have lost some off my waist as i am in smaller clothes!! But to be honest i just dont see it at all :frown: which is annoying!! I have lost it off my fingers as my wedding ring fits a lot better :smile:

I think its ok to have a treat every now and then as once you have got to goal are you going to stay away from these foods forever?? probably not so best to work them in with in reason!!

do you suffer with constipation or diarrhea (sorry for asking this) ? i suffer with the diarrhea side of it alot, sometimes then go the other way :( so annoying at times. Luckily here i dont think i would have to pay for the blood test, so it might be worth looking in to!

Thanks for replying claire!! I will look at the link, i would do anything at the moment to help me, the doctor has never suggested a blood test but maybe i should mention it to him next time i am down there....I havent a clue what triggers it really, it just seems to be different things each time??!!

feel free to add me, i think its important to have someone to talk to on your weight loss or get fit journey. We all need encouragement and sometimes a kick up the a***!! I know i do anyway!!

It really gets me depressed some days its the first thing i see in a morning and the last thing i see at night :( , the numbness is strange i thought it would have gotten better by now!!

i would also like to know what everyone has to say about this, as i too have had 2 c-sections and struggle with my sagging tummy :(. My tummy is also numb, which the doctor said is normal after the sections as they cut through nerves!!

hi i would love to be friends with you, i will send you a request now!! I am from england but currently living in ireland!!
