It's really good to hear from you again. You are sounding very positive and I am glad the move seems to have gone well and that your friends and colleagues have been supportive of your 'coming out '. Like you my life has been difficult lately. On the 26th April my husband and carer was involved...

Thinking of you, Sam

I can't like your post, because I wish you were having a happier time. However I did want you to know you are not alone out there, and that I have at least read your words. I am sorry you are going through such a difficult time. I have no experience in gender dysphoria except that a relative of...

I had a sleeve in September 2016 and have not experienced any alteration in windiness.

Really pleased to see you have made it so far. Good luck. I am sure you will do well, after the persistence you have shown over the past few years. I know how endless the wait feels and now the time will rush up on you.

Good luck to you. Will be thinking of you

Hi there and good luck! I first saw the team at Heartlands in August 2014, and had my gastric sleeve done in September 2016. If you want you can read how my journey went in my diary - Pennie's Sleeve diary in the WLS Diary section of the forum.

Wishing you a very happy anniversary today.

Everything crossed for you

Thank you for all your support. It means a lot to me.

Knowing why it is happening but still making the same mistakes is very hard. I know I struggle with this, and it makes me feel so stupid sometimes. If it makes you feel any better - last time I had serious kitchen work done I put on a stone (and then some). It is very disruptive to planned...

Thinking of you and hope things are going well

Thinking of you. :)

Exactly this. I work hard to only focus on the positive, but the whole process involved in claiming benefits means that I have to look closely at the limitations of my life. I find this totally depressing. I will be thinking of you and hoping all goes as well as it can.

What n absolute pain. Yes, I always find the letters arrive on a Saturday too. I went in to the doctors and wrote them out a statement of how my condition affects me, because it is so long since I was diagnosed no one there really has a clue - they just keep writing the prescriptions and...

Surgery twin! :D 6 months tomorrow - wow - I hadn't realised either. What an amazing ride this has been for us. Not a quick fix or an easy option in any way! I have gone in that time from a 24/26 to a 18/20.

Well I think getting into size 16 knickers sounds wonderful! :D What is the matter with these people?

When I had my op, the surgeon said I could go home the next day (and I really wanted to), but in the event I was not well enough to go home, and they kept me in for another night. The next day I was absolutely fine and ready to go and went home about 4pm in the afternoon. So if you need to stay...

That is one of my patterns too, and knowing it has helped a lot. I now try to balance out my meals better through the day, and avoid eating too late in the evening. Also it has been helpful after the surgery as if I leave eating too late then I tend to rush my meal, and believe me - that ever...

I couldn't drink milk after my sleeve, but managed French onion soup which I strained so it was just the liquid. I also had some other soups strained. Then after a couple of weeks I moved on to blended soups and stews. Very thin at first. When I tried my first solid meal it got stuck and I...
