New year new resolutions, so I am restarting the old group. We can celebrate losses and offer support.
No one approach is better than any other here.... Do what works for you.

I'm not doing too well in re-establishing good habits. Too many carbs (for me ) and way too much sugar. Bought and ate a whole pack of mini lindor yesterday...finished the boozy truffles I was saving from Christmas. Midnight toast last night. It's that horrible time in winter when cold and boredom set in. I need to occupy my mind with finishing emptying out the junk room and painting it.

Two pounds off this week, but I spent a lot of the time struggling not to comfort eat. Not seen anyone all week apart from my GP on Thursday and a neighbour briefly last night so mostly pretty inactive. However yesterday's veggie cottage pie was more carbs than I would normally eat and that normally means I get a bit of a fluid shift. Suspect if I weighed myself tomorrow it would be nearer 4lbs. How are you all doing.
I have heard that from someone else who had the op, he said it was so intense in the period before, loads of support, and afterwards once they felt he was down by ok it was virtually nothing apart from checks that he was still losing weight every three months or so. Seems to me the process needs input at the success stage too, because at some point you have to make the adjustment to how you fit into the world, because not just not your weight changes, but how people treat uyou, how expectations change, and all the body image stuff that your brain has to learn to reprocess.
The aftercare with the NHS is shocking according to a bariatric page I work on.
Privately it’s down to how many years your package includes.
Mine included 2 but I got an extra one due to work I did for the company.
They say it’s lifelong support but what that actually means is they have a Facebook page

I managed to put on a pound. I was a bit cavalier with my calorie counting, had a takeaway and some lagers. I also didn't move about much apart from my Tuesday evening Zumba class.
So this week more weighing and less guessing and more moving. I've actually got a treadmill so I'm going to dust it and if I don't go out I'm going to get on it. It's a plan.
