Oh no!
Did you know all this before your op? It's not the easy option the press would like to make out.
Oh yes.
Trust me I didn't think I can't be arsed dieting and going to the gym I'll have the op.
My problems started when I was nine and got a stutter and then started emotional eating cos I was being bulled. Basically as I went through life the problem got worse and worse. I was still quite fit 12 years ago - playing American Football for Loughborough Uni - I reakon I was about 25 stonish then.
I really had tried everything and wasn't really keen on the op - but knew it was the final option.
I knew about the sugar thing - and that is a good thing cos sugar is bad. The occassional thing seems to be okay, but obviously for losing weight sugar is to be avoided. I'm not that fused..I hate cake but miss chocolate a bit. But of course when I had chocolate I had a whole big Dairy milk bar.
I can't do apple peel or pear peal or any pithy fruit. Raw veg is meant to be a no no but its okay for me.
But bread is the big bugger. I can't really do any more than a slice at a time. Which again is good cos I used to go through a loaf a day.
But the pluses outweigh the negatives and I wouldn't go back for all the money in the world.
