Ok, well, not had a brilliant day, have struggled all day not to eat and what’s more, struggled not to eat crap!
Woke up really hungry this morning, unusual for me as I normally dont eat in the morning. I had a bowl of malted shreddies for breakfast followed by a small banana. Strangely, that didn’t pacify me, so consequently my ‘hungry’ quite rapidly turned to ‘hangry’!
I thought about how I was feeling and came to the reasoning that it didn’t matter what I ate, only crap and heavily carb laden food would satiate me. Bearing that in mind I chose not eat anything, with the exception of a second banana.
Not a good thing I suppose, but at least I am thinking, more than ever before, about what I eat, have not yet got around to why, that will come later. Quite honestly, I’m frightened of that bit, frightened as to what I might uncover. Not ready to face that, perhaps I never will be.
Had a chat earlier with one of my dearest friends, who has supported me for years. She is definitely against me having surgery. Now that I am working with Connor and it seems to be working, this time last year, I was almost thirty stone, now according to the hospital, I’m just over 26st. I find that difficult to believe. It makes much more sense to me that either my scales are wrong, or even more likely that the nurse made a mistake in the calculation when she converted from kilos to stones.
What Caroline has said has made me think. But then I recall what the surgeon said “we need to get you to lose weight as quickly as you can for you general health and wellbeing. I dont know what to think, if you pardon the pun, its food for thought!!
By the way, I also have fibromyalgia……
Vince's weight loss and life as a survivor! 
Hi Vince, my wife Kate had Bariatric surgery around 4 years ago (gastric sleeve) and dropped from over 100kg to 68kg. She has maintained this weight since then. Please note, I’m not in any way recommending that you do or don’t consider this type of surgery as there are other factors, (including emotional, mental and physical factors which all need to be considered on a case by case basis). Kate has offered to chat to you over Skype so she can share her experience, both in making the decision (and the quite extensive research she did) as well as her experience since having the surgery 4 years ago. Again, she emphasised that this is NOT to try and convince or influence you to proceed or not to proceed as this is a very personal decision which only you can make. What she can talk to you about is her own personal experience of the process. Let me know if you’d like me to try and set up a Skype chat at some point. (No problem at all if you’d prefer not to! 🙂

Hi M, thanks for your comment describing your wife’s experience, I most certainly would like to have a chat with her. At the moment, I do not have a Skype account, but I will endeavour to get one in the next day or so and when I am set up and active, I will let you know and we could set up the call. Thanks for taking up the interest in me, and I look forward to chatting to Kate very soon.
