Try a tablespoon of golden linseed sprinkled over cereal, or almost anything else...

Topic: RE: Where do you get protein drinks from and which do you guys find best
www.lowcarbmegastore.com.  Tesco Superstores have body building protein shakes and a low carb protein bar (apple and caramel).  They also do Slimfast and another brand for £6 a tin, both very palatable if a little high in calories.  Good hunting.

I was wondering how you were getting on! So exciting!

Gaining only 16lbw is fantastic! Well done! Did you have to do anythign special because of your RNY, like extra supplements?

Keep us informed. Pictures expected asap!! Do you know the sex?  Kate

Hello everyone!

Just thought I would pop in and say hi as I haven't been around for so long, and was wondering how everyone is getting on?

I am about to POP!!! I feel like I have been pregnant forever, and am now huge with just over 3 weeks until my due date!! Everything is getting a little harder now and I am so tired, but so excited to meet my little arrival!  I have gained a total of 16lbs in this pregnancy according to my last antenatal visit which I am happy with. I knew I was always going to have to gain weight whilst pregnant, but 16lbs isn't a huge amount, and baby is doing well so everyone is happy!!


So people, how are things with you?!!!

Best wishes,

Vicky x

HOW ON EARTH DID YOU DO THAT???  Have you had to prove medical necessity and how did you do that! I would LOVE to get my big tummy flap taken off! I have so much loose skin now.
