Losing weight can be difficult, prior to surgery 3 weeks ago on my back the pre-assessment nurse said i was 13 stone 3 arrrgghh i am 5 ft 8 but thought ouch!! I have cut my carb intake, eat a lot of chicken breast, haddock, salmon, occasional ribeye steak as I've read some fat is good, egg mostly poached or boiled everyday, broccoli, tomatoes, spinach. Peanuts, smoked salmon and sprinkle of oven chips occasionally about 5 of them lol and I oh and walking 20-30 mins everyday and i have weighed this morning and i am 12 stone 6 🙂 my face doesn't look as chubby lol. 🙂

What a sod!!! lol 😉

At least you have got no urge to have no more!!!.....cos ya ate it all!!! lol 😛
 
I'm not hiding anymore:D I've rejoined WW online. I've ordered from Tesco all of the food that helped me to lose nearly a stone last time that I properly lost weight:D I've walked Susie today and been swimming today. Scales said 15 stone this morning so that's my starting point
 
Thank you Northerner🙂 Knowing me you will probably get daily progress reports!:D
 
Thank you Northerner. I didn't eat much yesterday and had less WW points than I should and no wine!!!!😱 Woke feeling like I'm suffering withdrawal symptoms this morning but scales showed 14st 13lbs rather than 15st so that made me smile🙂 yesterday I had
A packet of scrisps
Quiche, coleslaw and sweet potato fries
I've got a load of delicious meals being delivered fromTesco today so I will be able to peruse a menu for dinner:D I've also ordered lots of cans of WW tomato soup
 
And the diet hypos have started!!! Onto my sixth jelly baby...
 
Thanks Alan the early hours of the morning will be the most challenging because of less food versus the basal set up for the gastroparesis. Having said that it was 7.5 at 6am and then went down an hour later. But I won't let it beat me. At least during the day I can reduce the TBR and check regularly🙂
 
Beef stew and dumplings for dinner and that still leaves me with 9 spare points for the day:D won't be using those on wine because I'm drinking sparkling water:D
 
OOooooo!!!! good for you Amanda!!!!....now I am really hungry!!.....I had pesky pitta bread with home made hot and spicy beef kofta's....nice but not as nice as stew and dumpys!!! :D
 
Thank you Jalapino🙂 Your pitta and koftas sound lovely🙂. Yesterday was another successful day. Woke with a 2.6 at 3am desperate for munchies but I just had Lucozade and reduced the TBR so 7.5 this morning. I weigh three pounds less than I did on Tuesday:D I know it's "only" water loss but it was a nice boost.
 
Today's plan is
Activia fat free cherry yoghurt
can of WW tomato soup
Lasagne served with rocket, balsamic vinegar and Parmesan cheese
After allowing for the points for Hypo Lucozade and the food above I've got 9 points left to play with....and I'm not going to waste them on wine:D
 
Sounds like you're doing really well! 🙂
 
Thank you Northerner and Bloden. I had a stressy time earlier today sorting out a hospital appointment (it was very frustrating). I was good and instead of eating something too high in calories I had a two point WW Jaffa cake bar - it was very nice, yummy and satisfying🙂
 
I'm starving this morning but was determined to kickstart this diet:D Today was my online weigh in day with Weight Watchers and I've lost 4lbs in three days:D:D:D
