Well I'm doing a bit of a mix to be honest! I'm on the slimfast shakes,except the Tescos version as they're nicer (done slimfast before - absolutely rank!), and I'll either have one for breakfast or dinner dependent on my shift, and a yoghurt and 2 satsumas,again,dependent on shifts. For lunch,I'm basically staying off any form of carbs and having soup with a less than 10 calorie jelly pot. Basically, I can't just do the shakes as I'm a manager of a flagship fashion store on oxford street and my energy levels are zero otherwise..kind of struggling as it is!

TBH giving up booze and crisps is the hardest!!It's ok though,i know it'll be worth it

I know my diet isn't the same as other peoples..but when I spoke to my contact at THG and she said similar to what they said to you,what ever works for you

How old are you if u dont mind me asking?!?

Thats good you have to do whatever works best for you and ur life stlyle, im going to do similar slimfast but the asdas version, tastes better! I cnt wait wish i could just book it now!

I think it will be giving up alchol in the long term that will be hard for me, i go out most sat partying with my friends so that will be hard but again worth it.

Its hard to imagine actually been able to go in shops like riverisland and buy clothes and shop in the same shops as my friends!

I know I'm the same with the socialising..ho hum!

I turned 25 in november..yourself?!

My mum had a bypass about a year ago and she looks bloody amazing but her journey isn't what I'm looking for for me it's been so tough on her body,spesh where she now has some saggy skin,now she wants more surgery to remove that!

Partly why i wanted it sooner than later so my skin has enough elasticity to bounce back

i had mine done in worcester on 1st June 2010. I ahve lost nearly five stones and I have felt great. I have only been sick once and that was due to eating too much beetroot too quickly. I have had one fill and that was painless.
I might have been lucky cos some people do have trouble but I am grateful everyday for getting it done. I had a loan so I will be paying for the operation for a long time but I dont regret it for a moment
Ask anything you like and I will be honest and tell you how its been for me

Im getting a loan to pay for mine, but i really have tried everything else! Im so motivated and excited but nervous at the same time! Ive not really told many people other than my mom and dad and 2 close friends. I dont want people to judge me, but they wont understand!
How are your scars?
Well done for losing so much weight! Bet your really pleased! Reading on this forum makes me so more egar and motivated to get it done!! Xx

Hey,
Im same and i cant wait for the nhs even if i was eligable! Im going with surgi/the hospital group for mine. Im having a band. I went for an appointment and it made me want it even more! Ive managed to get a loan just waiing for the paper work to go through. Im 22 and need to do it now really. I know the loan isnt the best option but its my health!
I go out (used to before wanting this) clubbing every week and then the pub and i cud easily sprnd £200 on that. So ive got to stop that anyway and that will be paying for my band!

Hope you find a way x x
