Hi everybody
I actually posted yesterday for the first time, but I'm not good at this kind of thing and think I must have done something wrong, because it didn't show up.
Anyhow, I'm starting on what I hope is going to be a life changer for me, I've been offered a gastric bypass by the NHS. I've been struggling with my weight for a lot of years now, I grew up as a skinny kid and was around 20yrs old before I started to gain a few pounds, my life style changed slowly, little or no sport after being sporty all my life and a job change meant no physical work anymore.
I now struggle walking, am embarrassed about my appearance, seem to be depressed all the time and generally ashamed of myself, I hide away from people I knew before coming fat, because I don't want them to see what became of me.
But enough of that because here we going! This year my life is going to start to return to something like it was.
The NHS are will perform a gastric bypass on me some time around September but if I get lucky with dates, possibly the end of August. I cannot tell you how desperate I am for that day to come.
I am starting a test run today of the milk and yogurt diet, as they've asked me to do so, I think it may be because I have type2 diabetes? Or is it something everybody does?
I hope to post regularly, to keep a record of my progress for myself and hopefully give a little insight of how it all goes for others.
I would love to hear from anybody that can offer constructive advice and encouragement please, as I hope to do the same for others.
Wish me luck!
I'll be back soon.
