Hello ,fellow soon-to-be-slimmer friends!
I have tried various VLCD's over the past 5 years, once I lost 3 stones and felt fabulous.
I need to be a lot slimmer than I am now, my health is starting to suffer and it's making me misereable !
So, I went to see my doctor and she referred me to a Bariatric surgeon and I was offered a Gastric Balloon.
The thing is, this has to be put down into your stomach via your Oesophagus whilst awake...there was no way I could do that! I know you are a bit drowsy when they do it but, the thought alone made me gag!
I realise I have to do something, I really do. I am ,just, the wrong side of 50 and feel like I am running out of time to have all the fun I want to. I want my energy back, I want my life back!
So, I took a deep breath this morning,opened a sachet of chocolate milkshake (have 30 shakes left from last attempt) and had that at 8am and have had a very good day since then.
Going to be logging on a lot as I know I will need to keep my focus over the first couple of weeks.
Have to find a counsellor in the next few days, too.
Looking forward to getting to know all your stories
