My diary warts and all

[kellsbells]

Hi everyone I'm Kelly I'm 32 engaged to Andy and we have a beautiful little boy called Charlie, I've been fat most of my life since maybe juniors and went to my first slimming club aged around 14 it has been a vicious circle since then! I met Andy when I was 21 I was a size 14 then and loved the size I was then I was bigger than that but I had gall stones and had to follow a low fat diet the pain was unbelievable! I almost wish they never took them away, anyways age old story of getting comfy with partner eating same portions plus devastating bouts of depression led me to 19 stone! We decided we wanted a baby and I lost a stone very slowly and found out I was pregnant I actually only put half a stone on when having him! I got post natal depression too and just didn't care about me, I went to drs heartbroken over my weight and begged for a gastric band but she told me I wasn't big enough to qualify for nhs so I went on Exante I lost 3 stone felt great then my mother in law died I come off the shakes that was nov last year and I have now put the 3 stone back on! Still barreling depression feeling awful partly cos of this weight, mil left some money to Andy and he is lending me it to be banded I have my band on 7th October and can't wait! I know it's not a Miracle cure and I know I have to put in the hard work but I feel it will help me a tool to aid my loss, pre op diet starts Monday I have date night tomorrow with Andy I'm going to enjoy the weekend then I'll be using my leftover Exante and having protien for tea I'm convinced my liver Wong have shrunk! Thanks for reading and sorry for waffling but as my title stated its warts an all! Xxxx

How is the Pre-op diet going, I start mine properly next week. I am the same weight as you so really interested to see how you get on mine is all food - low carb and a lot of weighing out which will be a bit of a pain, but all worth it in the end! Hope I'm in the 15's before my op (fingers crossed) then downwards from there on!!!! Good luck hon! x

Thanks chick pre op isn't too bad I done shakes and protien for a couple days then couldn't stand it so went with what they told me 1000-1200 cals and doing good so far I weighed this morning and was 16.9 so doubt I'll be in the 15s but hey ho I'm not going to worry feel super hungry today so trying to snack on protein and get plenty of water in me! I'm convinced my liver won't shrink and I'd love a glass or 2 of wine after a crazy busy week in work but no chance! Shrink liver shrink lol xx
