Same dress 2 holidays. One just before my op in October 2017 and 1 last month in Cuba. Can't tell you how much better I felt in myself both physically and mentally. Best thing I have ever done xx

Big apologies for going missing again. Still not got a laptop and find apps much easier to use on my phone than websites. I am doing very well. I feel 20 years younger now that my knees and ankles are not on the verge of collapse. I've lost 98lbs/ 7stone and a huge amounts of inches. I've...

Sorry I've been AWOL. My laptop is kaput and I've only just thought to try on my phone. Hope everyone had a great Christmas, we had a quiet one. Mine all work in retail so we're back to work early boxing morning. I have struggled if I'm honest, not with overeating but with not being able to eat...

Still being fabulous I see. Keep it up Maria, well done xx

Thank you Victoria. I think the pain is due to not doing much upper body wise for a few weeks. Everyday has gotten a little easier and my new swimsuit arrived yesterday so no excuses now xx

I can totally relate to this. I was horrified at the thought of not enjoying my cup of tea anymore. It took a week or so and i have to have it stronger now but there is nothing to beat a cuppa.

Im doing ok, ready to start puree/soft foods this week. I thought Id be on liquids for a while yet but my surgeon and nurse say to get on with it lol. Im a little surprised at how weak I still am. My Les and tummy are fine but my shoulders feel like Ive been holding weights above my head all...

Thank you xxx im eating some soup now and my surgeon told me on Saturday to have some milky porridge for breakfast which has been lovely. Had a lovely bracing walk up Southend seafront certainly cleared some cobwebs. x

Im doing ok I think. Yesterday I felt more bruised and battered than bloated so i took it easy on myself. Ive gotten myself into a little routine and my confidence is growing. Im not deviating from my hospitals plan although i can see how easy it would be to go a different way. There are many...

I had my surgery on Saturday. I arrived at the hospital at 6.45 and spent an hour going through paperwork and blood checks. I then got gowned up and spent an hilarious 15minutes with my man trying to get the compression stockings on until the nurse came back and showed us a trick with putting...
