    If I was a badger that's exactly the sort of badger I would be :rotfl:

    I have news ! Op is on the 16th of June :T

    That's brilliant news and not too far off. I'm sure you'll feel much better once it's over.

    I have a nice afternoon out at a friends Award Ceremony tomorrow afternoon there will be Champagne and a Buffet. Typical I get invited to a buffet when I can't eat it :rotfl:

    Enjoy your afternoon out. Good idea to have something you can eat before going but I'm sure there will be some salad and/or fruit you could have.

    I had raspberries and chicken this morning and feel awful, think I'm just to the stage now everything bothers it

    That sounds absolutely revolting, no wonder you feel awful!

    It hurt yesterday to drive round roundabouts so today I have declared no more work driving until after the operation. I am fortunate in that my work are being very supportive and I've announced I'm taking tomorrow off to rest also :rotfl:before I go to the awards thing.

    Good to see your work are being supportive. It makes so much difference.

    I was with ww when I had my ops. One for an eye and two for my gallbladder. Second one was to remove the duct.

    I never fully stick to the plan as I was recovering and lacked the patience to cook much.

    Your leader will understand and perhaps if you have any holidays left, use one or two holidays



    On no I've just myself to suit. I left in March just going it alone now but thanks :)

    OMG! OMG!

    My first weigh in.... 6lb loss! The most I've lost in a week at WW was 4 or 4.5lb.

    I think the reason behind WW didn't work for me in the end - was the fact everything (apart from f&v) needed to be weighed, transferred to points. Grains, pulses and pasta were the worst. They said a portion of dried spaghetti should be the size of a 5p coin. I needed 10p coin sized portions (ironically the same size as the old 5p).

    Only need to weigh your HEA and HEB, plus the odd syn food.

    Wow! That's an amazing loss! You'll be getting your half stone sticker next week without a doubt! Well done.


    Well WI was a bit better than expected with a small gain of just 0.5lb so still well within target. I'm hoping to lose 1.5lb over the next couple of weeks so that I'm at bottom end of target when I go on holiday - gives me a bit more leeway for all the french bread I always eat whilst in France!!!

    Slight change to plan today as I forgot fruit this morning to eat after WI I popped into Tesco and bought a small pack of hoisin duck sushi - 2 syns - haven't had that for ages and really enjoyed it - even if it is an extra 0.5 syns to what it used to be!

    Hi everyone
    I've cancelled my SW online membership now and going it alone at home. The only thing I'll really miss from the website is the syn calculator but I don't really use it that often
    :)

    I will post properly later,but I just had to say that there is an absolutely brilliant page on Facebook called SYNS ALLOWED,and it has absolutely THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of files with syns in.On the main page you can always ask,someone usually answers very quickly,but they do like you to look in the files first.Soooooo many files:divided by supermarket,food type (dairy,meat,yoghurts,pasta sausages),brands,Greggs :eek: etc.Brilliant
    SPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76

    That's brilliant.:T I don't weigh anything now I'm at target just go by eye on milk, cereal and cheese as I got used to what it looks like over time (not recommending that but if you do then start measuring again if weightloss stalls) and for my HEB I almost always have bread so that's simple.

    That's great candy, be very careful with syns as a 'bad' week has a habit of catching up with you.

    That sounds great and ideal for those going it alone. Lots of us do have online access for free so just ask if you need us to look something up.


    That's good you only had a tiny gain denise. Like you I want to be right at the bottom of target range when I go away on 23rd June.:j

    Oh. I'll understand.

    I have to wait until 12th October to see my eye consultant. Should've seen him earlier this month but one of the two appointments was cancelled. Oct 12th was the earliest date I could have both appointments together!! He wants to perform a procedure on my better eye. Vision will be rubbish. I will need at least 2 weeks off work.

    What is SW's policy with sickness?

    I suspect you may have to use holidays for sickness so you can book the weeks off in advance. Someone more knowledgeable will be along to tell confirm I'm sure.


    I bought the mag today, hope theres something nice in it

    When I had my op I had a countdown for the first week I was in hospital so that just got peed up the wall, the second week I called a holiday and then I went back to it?
    Holidays are there got holidays or sickness there's not a sickness allowance. You get 6 a year from the date you start? So I joined in sept my year runs sept - sept etc?

    Hi all
    Quick fill in post I think is required
    I've been so busy this last fortnight
    Me and the boy went away for a child free weekend
    Boys birthday meal out with family
    Me and the boy went to the city and had a lovely meal and went to the trendy comedy club
    Me and boy took all 3 offspring away for a long weekend to the seaside and thoroughly indulged
    In fact the last 2 weeks have been over indulgent oops!!
    Trying to get back on it today to limit the damage on Monday but I expect to be paying ��
    Legal stuff with the ex is still ongoing
    I swear the amount of stress I live under day to day I should be a size 0 with a lollipop head
    Amongst the legal stuff and all the nights out ive also had a dash to local a&e with mini getting her head whacked by a lift door
    My life needs to be dull and uneventful and quiet
    I just want a quiet life
    Started sw 02/09/13 - total loss so far -5st 1lb
