10.5 Months post op, 11.2 Stone down, 4 hernia's repaired now time to take control

[ryanrara]

Hi all, Some of you will know me though have not posted for ages. You will know I have been up and down in the head issues department but had fantastic weight loss results. I am 10 months 10 days post and have lost 11.4 stone. My life has changed. For the better 100%.
I do have head issues and have good and bad days but sorting it.
I have had some addiction transfer and have not lost an ounce since 8 month post op. Though
I am typing this from the Clem Hospital Harrow, where the awesome Mr Shaw Somers just repaired my incisional hernia's - I had 4 in the end.And he has put some mesh inside me as well, hoping to avoid any more.
The past two months I have not been eating as a bypass patient should and not exercising too. I have not followed any of the guidelines these past two months. Frankly I am lucky that I have not put weight on.
But now these Hernia's are repaired, I plan to take control. Starting with drinking plenty fluids, eating protein first, etc. Everything i have not done for two months. And start exercising. This bypass was the best gift I have ever had, a second lease on life and I will no longer abuse it.
I type this in pain, die to the hernia repair but I am positive. There will be struggles but life begins again.
So Hi everyone, I am back!

Glad to hear your physical problems post op have been resolved, fingers crossed the emotional & physiological issues are soon beaten. You've had a rough ride & we all have times where the old demons set in & are hard to fight if other things are challenging your resolve. Good luck Hun.

Your weight loss is amazing, good luck with getting back on track. I haven't had my surgery yet and I'm already worrying about slipping back to how I am now in the end. Good luck x

That's an absolutely fantastic loss, we started at the same weight, but I've still got a long way to go. Just wondering how much you had to lose before they considered sorting your hernia, as I have one too and it's really unsightly, and becoming more so the more weight I lose.

Hi Ryan I don't think we would be human if we took this totally in our stride. It is a massive thing to go through. And you're emotions are going to be going up and down like a lift. (was gonna say something else lol) No one person deals with things the same as the next. I have learnt that in the last 5 years. Just be honest with yourself and stay true to you. I'm sure it onwards and upwards now you have had your repair. Chin up chicken x
