Hey guys,

After a bumpy few months where mum died, I had a nervous breakdown and upping and leaving London, I am on the road to mental recovery and feel the need to re-visit these forums and check out what has been going on!

I am almost 8 months post-op (RnY) and have lost 13 stone. I'm 34"/36" waist (was 52") and can get into Large or X-Large (dependant on the shop) clothes. I've even gone done from a size 14 shoe to a size 13.

Foodwise, I can eat almost anything now although I do still chew, chew, chew and still wait 15-20mins between eating and drinking although it's usually 5-10mins between eating after drinking.

So, those struggling post-op - chin up - you WILL get there!

hi rick welcome back
sorry to hear of your sad loss an,d your mental health, life can be cruel.
but its great to hear of your fantastic weight loss well done ,and may i wish you all the best for the future

I'm so sorry to hear you've had such a bad few months. I hope you are on the road to full recovery after your breakdown but, of course, nothing can take the pain away about your mum. My dad died many, many years ago but I still feel as if it was yesterday. It's still early days but the time will come when you will be able to look back without too much sadness and remember the good times. And all this on top of your bypass! Your weight loss is really amazing. Now that you've made the first tentative steps back to Minis I hope you keep posting and chatting to us all. Take care, Mxx
 
So sorry for your sad loss.

Fantastic weight loss , all the better with rough time you've had recently.

Hope things get better for you soon

Hi Rick. I'm sorry to hear about your loss, losing a loved one is never easy, I lost my father at the end of Jan so know how you feel.

Congratulations on your spectacular weight loss too. I'm so jealous and hoping that I can achieve the same as you.

Well done and have a virtual hug from me.
