Wow Mrs Quiggle!!! What a difference in the before/after pic! You look absolutely amazing... You must be so pleased with where you are right now...
dinoo I am glad that I'm not the only one who feels this way.. I suppose though in the old end what's done is done, and maybe it was better to admit we needed help and take the plunge, than to just have carried on getting bigger and bigger, as with me would surely have happened if I hadn't of had the surgery. xx

Sounds so unpleasant Chrisa. Glad you are feeling better now x
Those that are feeling shame or unhappy with the fact that they couldn't do what they are doing now without help from the surgery, I think you should think about people who give up alcohol, drugs or smoking when they are addicted. They use aids to help them like valium, methodone and patches. WLS is just that, an aid or tool that gives us a patch if you like to help fight the cravings for our old life styles. That's why when we don't use it right, it doesn't work and when we do, we can be very successful
I don't know about you but I've done this before with out surgery and I managed very well on my own for quite a while but then doing on sheer willpower alone became too much and I gave up. That's what the surgery is there for, so it's not willpower alone and you have a real chance of making it to the finish line. So I don't think any of us should feel anything but proud that we have made the very hard decision to face this head on x
Menu today -
Breakfast - Ham and a plum.
Lunch - The fish and veg out of a sushi pack.
Dinner - Crab, crayfish and vegetable stir fry (when I have stir fry's I don't have noodles or rice with them, just lots of veg and I usually make my own sauces out of low salt soy and fresh herbs).
Snack - Half a diet protein shake. A Peach.
Had a great work out today at the gym, really getting back into it now. Hope I see a difference on the scales on thursday, I went through my weekly weigh in's and saw I'd actually lost 5lb this month instead of 3 and 16lb last month instead of 18lb. That was a bit of a relief as it seems I haven't really had a stall, just a drop in numbers at one time. I'm feeling better about that and hopefully won't get confused again now I've stopped weighing myself daily. Have a good night everyone

Those of you who feel shame for not being able to do this without wls just think for a minute. You chose to fight. You chose to make a commitment to change your life by any means necessary and they were necessary. If any other addict had chosen to make the same commitment do you think they would be hanging their heads in shame?

So true but its just the way some people judge and it hurts sometimes

So true
Totally agree with Shelley and yvessa I don't think this has been an easy decision for any of us to have such invasive surgery. At least we have done something about our addiction and I do not feel ashamed to admit I needed help. I think it's takes a strong person to admit they need help for anything. So hold you're head up high and think positively about our bright futures. Been to see mr Samear today for my post op check up and he is very pleased with me so I'm delighted. Had go ahead to start gym but not swimming as a couple os scars are not fully healed. He did say though I had to eat and drink more but overall was happy. See him again in 3 months.

Whilst I understand this, you just have to take comfort in the fact these people are uneducated fools. They can stay that way if it's easier for them but the world is a brighter, better place if we try to teach ourselves what we don't understand. I'd feel sorry for them if I had the time to but I'm too busy trying to better myself
