Totally agree like you wish I could let my ex see me now he lives near me but I dont see him (good) I still love him but he broke my heart but not my soul!I can't wait until I start to lose weight. So far I just seem to be losing inches but no actual real weight.... but hey. I am happy to shrink slowly. Then ..I can't wait for my ex to see me looking fit and fine. He definately is the loser so far .
A loss of 0.2kg this week, finally bringing me to a grand total of six stone weight loss, I am now 2/3rd of my former self having lost 33% of my body weight!
Started 115kg 9th May ‘17
Today 76.9kg 10th Aug ‘18
Total lost = 38.1kg/6 stone!
Any diabetic in your past circumstances should be referred to you and not a bariatric surgeon.A loss of 0.2kg this week, finally bringing me to a grand total of six stone weight loss, I am now 2/3rd of my former self having lost 33% of my body weight!

Thanks for your kind words @ickihun. The irony is that I received next to no dietary advice on diagnosis but I was offered gastric surgery! How is your preparation going?Any diabetic in your past circumstances should be referred to you and not a bariatric surgeon.
Get yourself a business from your portfolio. Many need you and like you as mentors.
I'm in awe of your achievement to date.
Keep going.
I'm awaiting my gastroscopy on 29th. Gulp! Then back to see surgeon, inbetween endocrologist as Metformin not compatible with IBS so on more insulin again. Bgs over 10s on occasion even on increased insulin. Full blood count just done and doing hormone test on Tuesday for menopause as no periods or cycle of any kind. I'm hoping thyroid will be checked again as hit and miss days of total exhaustion.Thanks for your kind words @ickihun.

Injured my pelvis last week too so back on maximum painkillers so I can walk. A set back but I'm plodding on and fighting weight in best way I know. Low carbing.
I think I would be bedbound if I didn't have painkillers, low carbing and insulin.
I'm desperate for my op benefits now.... its took so long.
Thanks @Rachox.It certainly has been a long haul for you, looks like they are doing a thorough work up for you, hang in there, you’re on the home straight now x
