Where do I begin........ things didn't go right from the off. Constant nausea, vomiting, pain and the runs. Eating was poor but the weight dropped off. 11 months later and I was 11 stone lighter. And that's where the loss stopped...... which I'm happy about, because I was beginning to worry it wouldn't stop. But what I could eat and how my body reacts to some foods hasn't. I only eat what doesn't give me the runs or makes me feel sick, which is still pureed soups or cheese and crackers, especially when I'm in work. I eat cheese by the ton which is probably why my weight is remaining pretty stable.

I feel constantly ill, tired, pain in some area of my digestive system and I guess a little depressed. Going to the toilet is a problem in one way or another. I had the op to have a better life, because my weight was killing me...... but it's no better a life . It's just a different type of bad.
