Thank you... :) now I just need to figure out how to do it... :#

I was also someone who struggled with this... But I think I could've tried a bit harder... I saw a very good explanation - maybe if you have time, watch this: http://formerfatdudes.com/friends-dont-let-friends-drink-and-eat/ I have been getting back on track and today is day 6 of no drinking with meals - it started off to…

Wow - what an inspiration!

Very very hot! But I am not complaining! I love the sunny weather.... We are hearing about the cold weather in the US! We are very fortunate here in SA to not have the extreme weather conditions folks in the US have....

I am from (sunny) South Africa... With my husband, we have a digital media company... We just went through a bit of a (very) bad patch with our business, but things are starting to look better. We still have a few months that will be difficult, but we believe that things will start to change now! We commute between two big…

So, let me first just confess.... :-( - I have not made all the snacks that I have posted here.... but I want to try it. I am just reckoning this will help a few of us who might need some inspiration (definitely me!)... If you have a snack you can share, please do so..... This is cucumber with some brie and salmon....…

Another snack I just love is some veggies with a yoghurt and cucumber dip! Looks good and tastes wonderfully healthy!

Hi Sarah, Just wondering how you are doing? Thinking of you! Daisy

A High-Protein Snack Under 150 Calories: A four-ounce container of low-fat cottage cheese (90 calories, 11 grams protein) with one small peach, diced (51 calories, 1.2 grams protein): 141 calories, 12.2 grams protein. Yummi Yummi!!!

Pleasure! Hope to get a few more ideas from experienced (weight) losers! Us newbies have a lot to learn from them!

Thanks for posting your favourite snacks! We've had some great suggestions!

Sounds good! I am definitely going to try this... Thanks Ann...

Two teaspoons of peanut butter with five small celery sticks. Fat Free Cottage cheese on crackers

Dearest Sarah.... NO JUDGEMENT here either... Well done for taking the first steps... I am now 4 months post surgery and have lost 36kg.... it can be done - although not easy, but that is why you have a support group here with us! Please feel free to send a friend request to me! Hang in there... and please write to me…

Please tell me how you do this? I have everything to give myself the shot, but do not know how and am too scared!

I am from South Africa and I had my surgery done by a doctor here in South Africa. He was excellent. Why are you thinking of having the op done in a different country? Good luck on all your decisions... Daisy

I agree with the other posts...it is normal. Hang in there!

Thank you for the valuable advice... although I am not sure what you mean with 60/20/20 and based on what is the 1/2 lean protein, etc. Sorry for sounding stupid... but 1/2 of what? Thank you once again for taking the time to help me out! Daisy :flowerforyou:

Fantastic! You are doing so well!

Thank you for the advice... I did not even think about choosing a new family doctor! Actually, I must be honest... I do not have one at the moment, so I think you are so right in recommending this. Also did not think of getting a new nutritionist closer... thought "Auntie Google" would do the job.... but I guess I was…

Thank you so much!

Thanks Ann... I really appreciate it. I just also have another question... Obviously the reason for me getting fat was bad food choices and a lack of discipline... Did this just change for you after your operation? How come it seems that everyone is having such a easy time loosing weight and I am really struggling... I…

Fantastic... I am also 4months post op and feeling great, so I can relate to you!

I just loved this post! Needed to smile today... :smile: So glad you decided to go with your goal weight! Well done on your great loss so far! Daisy...

Hi, Baby Marrow is what I think you call a Courgette or Zucchini.... Here in South Africa we call it baby marrows.... :smile:

You are a wonderful inspiration.... Thank you for sharing...

Dinner tonight... my hubby made pizza for the family: AND I had some veggie soup:

It is hard.. No jokes! but totally worth it!

Sorry, wanted to ask... What does VSG stand for?

Hi, Welcome to the group... Sorry that no one has responded so far... :ohwell: I had a gastric bypass. Now about 9 weeks pst-op. good luck with your journey! Daisy
