I'm overwhelmed. I certainly didn't expect to get so many positive messages. Thank you all so much, you've lifted my spirits.

It's all happened so fast, it seems that in the blink of an eye, i've literally halved in size. There has been so much else happening in my life that i really haven't been focussing on losing weight at all. Everytime i stand on the scales, i've lost more weight, and only have 2 stone left to go until my ultimate goal. I have a lot of excess skin, and to be honest, i'm really not bothered about losing those last 2 stone because i already feel great, and know that the excess skin will weigh a fair bit in itself.

I just can't believe what i see in the mirror sometimes, but some days i still feel fat and ugly. This surgery has made me face why i used food the way i did, how i ended up being the size i was and along with some great therapy, i've come a long way both mentally and physically.

I NEVER thought i'd get this far, and a year ago was so impatient with waiting for it to happen, and now all of a sudden someone has hit the fast forward button and it's nearly a year later.

I feel a bit cheated though. I'm now 29, feel old and 'past it' and now that i'm this small, i feel i should be getting more attention from the opposite sex, and still feel ugly, and especially old when i don't get that attention. Guess i still have a way to go in the psychological department.

Anyway, for anyone waiting for surgery, it will happen, and it will be so worth it. For all post oppers, congratulations on your achievements, you'll all been an inspiration to me.

Hi Erin, You deserve all of the compliments, you have done extremely well.

What is up with those Yorkshire lads? Can't they spot a foxy lady when they see one?

I agree with you about the head catching up with the bod', I can forsee that could be one of my problems post-op.

Keep up the good work!!
