[QUOTE="Scouser58, post: 588702, member: 103830"] [SIZE=4]To all who posted about the latest news reports, gastric banding, blaming all on anything and everything, and then the X-pert pateints course woman, all spouting all sorts of rubbish and wanting to make themselves sound big, clever, important,stupid. The operations, well if they workedand the obese people lost all the weight they were surposed to, then would the nhs, be following up with the operations to trim off all the saggy, baggy, not nice skin that is left with rapid weight loss ???, Please let me go back in time, when I was 12 I started into domestic science lessons, housecraft, learning to cook, and iron etc, well when my sister went to the same school, no housecraft lessons, so she was never taught how to cook, and was terrible at ironing, washing etc. So maybe why so many people eat junk food, and have high fat convenience foods is because they cannot cook, and they learnt things from watching their mothers, who also maybe could not cook, and so the situation perpetuates. Then there is the thing that many have found out, good food, costs so much more to buy, and when there is not enough money to meet the necessary needs, then things have to be done, i.e. cutting the costs to the amount that is available. So there they are eating foods that are the best for the body, but it is what can be afforded, and is conveniant, so it goes round, the well off telling the others, You're not eating right, too much junk food, so maybe the gauntlet needs to be thrown down, show how they can do better, but only on the same amount of money, and if necessary teach cooking skills. I get really sick of being told, that you're not doing this, that or other right, you are fat, it's your own fault, and now stand up and fight for help, I felt there was pressure being brought to bear to send me for gastric banding, and maybe some treatment was witheld, but not bullied into one.So everybody on this forum needs to show they are the best experts in their own treatment, and do the best for themselves. I found out I was diabetic after a car shunt upset my whole body, after I was told I had an underactive thyroid gland and commenced that treatment, and only after I said about excessive piddlingwas getting on my nerves. Type2 confirmed, see the diabetic nurse, and then here is your testing meter,and keep a good record, diabetic clinic every 6 months, blood tests of various types, stick pins in to check feeling, then the eye screening etc. I am trying to loose weight and not having a lot of success, but keep going, and after reading peoples successes with the LCHF diet, than research is soon on its way.
