I don't regret it at all, the same as everyone else, I wish I'd done it sooner. I kept some of my favourite clothes in a suitcase under my bed that I couldn't bear to throw away and swore I would get back in to them one day. The suitcase was full it is now empty, at the weekend I tried on the dress that I wore when my daughter was christened and she is 17 next month and it fits me. I have lost nearly 5 and a half stone, I still want to lose another 5 but hopefully by May next year I will and that will be a year since surgery. I was a chocoholic but I have learned to make the right choices, don't get me wrong it's not always easy but an orange calypso ice lolly does the trick when I need something sweet. Everyone is commenting about how much weight I've lost and how good I look, I know it sounds like a clichet but nothing could taste as good as the way I feel now, and you will feel like that too and I had my op 4 months ago tomorrow, karen x
