Very Big Chris
New Member
My name is Chris and I am a pre-op patients at the Luton and Dunstable Hospital. I feel my journey really started with the milk diet. I weighed 177Kg at the start and had lost 13Kg at my 5 week appointment. I feel that I struggled a bit when I went back to food. The diet, although varied, left me feeling hungry. I quickly found that a diet of mainly tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, beetroot with low calorie dressing, although boring, filled me up without the calories.
I am now 4 months in and 1 month away from surgery. In those 4 months I have lost 35.5Kg. I no longer snore. I no longer have sleep apnoea. My Dr has taken me off my diabetic medication. My Dr halved and then halved again my blood pressure medication. My cholesterol is down to 2.9 and my Dr is considering taking me off my statin. I haven't felt this well in years.
I joined a gym. My first visit I could swim 10 lengths of their pool, 1 length at a time. This morning I swam 40 lengths , non stop.
At the start I was fearful of surgery, now I am looking forwards to it.
