Hi All

It has been 12 months since I had the surgery so here's my reflection on that time.

I was ready for the surgery, mentally at least. One of the lucky ones with minimal problems. Just the usual issues of learning what and how much food my body can cope with.

Life is different, I'm aware of what and how much I can eat so my eating out experiences have changed. I now order more of what I feel like and don't worry about how much of it I eat. Even ...

Hi All

Had a much better week. I've been for my checks ups at the weight loss clinic and the nurse and dietitian say I'm right on target. Losing steadily each week. I need to commit to my exercise programme. I could give lots of excises and really good ones but the bottom line is it is time for me to get into exercise.
