Blueeyes and I are about to leave my flat to go to Greenwich to take part in the half marathon night time (shine walk). I am looking forward to it and hope I can finish it. This is truly amazing that I can do it as two years ago I struggled walking up a flight of stairs. Now 12 stone less, I...

I have read this thread in full and am totally in awe of your courage and bravery for admitting that you have addiction problems. I also have a very very addictive personality and I know that the biggest step to recovery is admitting that addiction to yourself. I have very recently made a...

You are in very very good hands at Charing Cross and will be well looked after. I had my surgery there in January 2010 and was feeling great afterwards but very very tired for several weeks. In fact I felt tired for about three months but that was just me. I had no pain, no discomfort, no...

Not going to nag here just to say, that from experience, you need to be very careful with drink. One drink post op will affect more than 10 will pre-op. It goes straight to your head and make you feel giddy and "not in control". The other thing to be careful of is the sugar content in some...

Well done and congratulations on three years. You have been a wonderful support and motivator on this site

Thanks guys

beautifully written. Good luck for tomorrow.

I am feeling very proud of myself that I finished my 10k charity walk last Saturday and have since signed up to walk half a marathon on the 1st October. Bring it on..................

I have just logged on for the first time in weeks and see you had your surgery. Well done. How are you feeling?

Thank you for sharing this. It is very helpful and honest of you. I too, am a year and a half out and I havent really lost any weight in the last six months although I now have a personal trainer and go to the gym regularly. My food choices could still be better on some days but for me there...

A quick comment on the recent changes to this site. It is sad to see that there has been some negative things said, not many of us like change ( I dont) but this site has been an amazing source of support for me from the moment I joined it. I really dont know what I would have done without it. I...

Yes I am still here but dont get much time to get on here lately. Very exciting news......I'm off to Australia today for over just over three weeks and I am so excited. I feel this is the first major step in becoming the person I want to become. My friend in Australia has wanted me to go for...

She certainly is about to!! Watch this space

I have finally plucked up the courage to wear a pair of trousers today. The first time in my life (well since I was about six years old and I am now 39). I have wore leggings etc to the gym but not outside and it felt good and I felt very normal. I wasnt able to wear them before now as I am...

Hi there. I too am struggling to lose at the moment but I have gone back to basics with one of the suggested food plans on the post op diet board. I go to the gym and walk loads. I have good days with food but from time to time I find my calorie intake is far too high. I guess this is the stage...

Welcome back. You have done amazingly well in your weight loss but I understand how disheartening a stall is. I have lost very little in the past few months and I have really taken to going to the gym and it does help but I guess we just have to keep trying to lose more and hopefully the...
