Just got home from hospital yesterday following an operation to correct a 'twirly' bowel and a petersens hernia. Had about 10 days of fairly serious abdominal and back pain, and a raft of tests before they finally contacted my bypass surgeon. Just wondered if anyone else had had this, and did...

I usually have porridge for breakfast with no problems. Avoid the 'sweetened' fast ones, they make me so ill. As a bonus my dogs love the left overs ;)

I never ever, ever thought I would wear a wet suit. This is beyond my wildest dreams. Thought I'd share this with you. 30 years I struggled with my weight, and now I feel like a new person. I actually like myself. Going on holiday soon and have signed up for lots of water sports. I can't...

Debbie, I've had a range of responses from, "have you been ill?", "how did you manage that?", and my personal favourite "did you get liposuction on your holiday?". Now my evil mind just thinks they are all waiting for me to start gaining the pounds again! ;). Xxx

Thanks everyone, and I know it's cliché, but it's how I feel physically, mentally and emotionally that is the real game changer! That said, it doesn't hurt to look a little cuter xxxx

Happy 2015 everyone. Was comparing my last 3 Christmas work photos and can finally understand why some people have difficulty recognising me (some I just let walk past lol). Health and happiness xxxxxxx

I just don't understand I'm so small? I'm used to going into changing rooms and squeezing into sizes. Trying on small clothes that are too big, is overwhelming. I don't see it. I know I'm smaller, but I've never been a 12, even when I was a teenager I was a 14. I'm sorry to be moaning about...

Okay, went shopping yesterday for new work trousers. Went to my 'go to' store Next and picked up 3 pairs of trousers size 12 . Tried them on all too big, popped out and asked the assistant if she could get me them in a size 10 (I know, never in 100 years did I think I would be confidently...

Curls40 it will work, I know it's difficult to believe but this will be successful for you! One small suggestion, I only weighed myself once a month, took great will power, but I was never disappointed with how much I'd lost. Good luck xxx

You must wear the dress, stunning xxx

Thanks everyone for your kind words. The dress was from per una, marks and Spencer's and I bought it from ebay for £7.00, love a bargain

My surgery was a year ago today! One of the best decisions I ever made. All aspects of my life has improved. It's not for everyone, but what a great tool and life changer it has been for me. Loving my life! Xxxxx

I wouldn't describe my sausage fingers as skinny! Marta it's a local independent jeweller in aberdeen called northern diamond. Xxx

What a fantastic result, well done x

Was in town today and popped into a small independent jeweller to get an estimate. My wedding ring needs to come down 8 sizes, and my engagement ring 6 sizes! I'm only being charged £70 for both, bargain I thought, usually everything in aberdeen is super expensive. Totally delighted...

Good luck and a speedy recovery x

I think the type so skin (do you get stretch marks?), the amount of weight you loose, how quickly it comes off and your age all factor into it. My surgeon said you exchange fat for loose skin, and if you decide to have a TT etc, you will exchange loose skin for scars. Big pants become your...

I'm nearly a year out and my appetite lessens as the day goes on. Most evening I can barely manage a tablespoon of whatever I'm having. I don't worry though as I have a good breakfast and lunch xxx

Looking fab! X

Thanks for the response, I think I'll give a few jewellers a call for an idea of prices. X
