not been here for a while

Hi everyone just to update I am now post op gastric bypass nearly 7 months and I have now lost 8st 4lbs. was 23st 2.5lbs and now14st 12lbs. I feel fantastic.

Some days my eating is not good just to do with tolerance of food more than anything but feel that this is a minor complaint as the benefits out way the negatives.

Its a big thank you to the bariatric team at Sunderland Royal and consultant Mr Small for performing and the taking care of me. Its the best thing I have ever done.

only another 1st 10lbs to go till target. I have returned to slimming world to continue with my weight loss programme and I have found that this combined with my surgery keeps me motivated and on track.

so onwards and upwards.

so to any new members take control, enjoy the adventure and you will never look back xxx

Hi hope your well keep on going your doing well so far. It won't be long and then your turn will be here. My life has changed unbelievably and in so many ways I feel normal if that possible

Nicola I have cried reading your post as it gives me so much hope that one day I will feel normal. Has it really changed your life for the better. I am trying not to pin too many hopes on 1: getting the op, and 2: it actually making a difference.

Yay, well done!!

If you don't mind me asking, what clothes size were you before the op and now?

I know everyone is different but for me it would help me get my hand around things x
