Waiting for biopsy results is a pain in the backside - I know... All the questions. Glad you can have treatment for it which is gentler on your body, hopefully. It is a big operation indeed. I guess for me the main thing that made everything okay in the end was to be able to walk again. I was unable to walk more than 50 yards before the operation and a week after, I walked a kilometer first time again. Nerves to my left leg had been pinched - was unable to control it, and took loads of brain power to try. For me it was like having my life back - had an application in for a disabled persons moped and everything, so I guess the reward was worth it - now I can walk 8 miles easy and lose weight and work and live!

Good luck with it all - thinking of you.

11 st 7lbs today, total loss 3st 6 lbs, never thought I'd see that weight again or a size 16. I went through my wardobe at the weekend and found I didn't have one skirt I could wear that didn't fall down. The charity shop has benefited, I am thrilled but hubby not so happy that he has now to shell out for a new winter wardrobe

Haha, all too familiar with that problem apart from the bit where hubby pays. Don't suppose you'll lend me yours?

I find that some bits are alright to get from charities - especially while I am still losing weight, I simply cannot afford a new wardrobe every 2-3 months.

Well done on the weight loss! :clap:

I had really plateaued with weight loss, stuck at the same weight for 2 weeks so now I am trying to have one non meat meal a day to try and reduce the amount of protein I eat. So for lunches I am either having cheese or avocado salad. I have also cut out my naughty snack of unsweetened peanut butter. I couldn't stop at one spoonful and peanuts have a lot of protein and carbs. Anyway, so far it seems to be working 1/4 lb off yesterday and again today, so I'm back to losing - yeah!

Just jumped on the scales this morning and I've lost another 2lb. I'm not sure if I've lost that in a week or more than a week cos I try not to get on the scales every day or even every week in case I get disheartened. But I do know when I've lost some weight because I can feel the difference in my clothes fitting and when I'm walking. So that's about 8-9lb altogether since beginning of August on LCHF and Metformin. Can't help wishing I was losing a bit faster though. :)
