MY JOURNEY

ok Here Goes, I Hope This Helps Others!!!!!!!!


CHAPTER 1

I Was A Normal Baby, 8lbs 8oz (ok Maybe A Little Large) But Certainly A Normal Toddler. When I Started School Was Still Normal Weight, By The Time I Started Secondary School I Was Stick Thin, My Nickname Is Still Beanpole From Those Days (lol) People Still Look Confused When I Tell Them It! Anyway Im 5 Ft 6 And Was Just Under 8 Stone, I Loved My Long Legs And Didn’t Have Any Problems With My Weight, I Could Eat Whatever I Wanted!



Anyway When I Got To 16 I Decided To Go On The Pill. I Noticed That After About 6 Months I Seem To Develop Hips, And I Also Got Stretch Marks Which Was A Bit Worrying. I Think After About A Year I Had Put About A Stone And Started To Become A Little Self conscious Of My Figure! It Was Probably Then I Can Remember My First Diet, But Never Anything to Heavy as Wasn’t Even Overweight.



when I Was 18 I Was Diagnosed With Multiple Sclerosis, I Was In Hospital For 6 Weeks And It Was A Hard Time For Me, As The Month Before My Mum Nearly Died Giving Birth To My Sister And Ended Up Needing A Hysterectomy And Being In Icu So I Really Was Up Against It Stress Wise


I Picked Myself Up And Started To Get My Life Together, And Would You Know It 4 Months Later Had Another Attack, And Was Back In Hospital, This Time I Was Also Prescribed Antibiotics As well As Steroids, And What Do You Think Happened 1 Month Later????? I Was Pregnant!!!! I Didn’t Realise That Your Pill Can Be Affected By Antibiotics As I Had Been Sick, Anyway My Boyfriend And I Decided After All The Bad Luck I Had This Would Be A Positive So Continued With The Pregnancy And Had A Beautiful Baby Boy Sam In 1990 He Weighed 8lb 4 Oz But More Importantly I Had Gone From 9 Stone To 13 Stone 10 Which Was A Big Gain,it Was From Then On That My Battle Began!



I Didn’t See To Be Able To Shift The Weight I Was Starting To Feel Like A 19 Year Old In A 40 Year Olds Body, I Started To Wear Baggy Frumpy Clothes, And My Relationship With My Boyfriend Of 5 Years Had Started To Suffer. I Think Part Of The Problem Was I Couldn’t Believe He Would Want To Be With A Fat Frump Like Me. Anyway In 1992 I Went To Gp And Got Prescribed Slimming Tablets, (these Have Since Been Taken Off The Market) But They Were Bloody Good As I Went From 14 And A Half Stone Down To 10 And A Half Stone, It Was Fantastic, However I Never Slept As They Were Like Speed, I Also Had To Have My Gall Bladder Removed Because Of The Fast Loss, I Felt So Confident I Thought That Was It I Had My Life Back Then Bang A Massive Shock, That Boyfriend Was Having It Off With Someone Else, I Chucked Him Out And Decided To Go It Alone With Baby Sam Who Was Now 2 And A Half.



My Weight Crept Up Over The Next 2 Years To 13 Stone 8lbs, This Was When I Met My Husband, The Fact That I Was This Weight When I Met Him Was Nice For Me As I Didn’t Feel Too Pressured To Be Stick Thin, Anyway this Was In 1994, And By 1995 We Decided To Get Married And I Got Down To 11 Stone 4lbs. (isn’t It Funny How You Remember Your Weights At Different Stages Of Your Life)



So 1 Month To The Day After My Wedding I Found Out I Was Pregnant For The Second Time, However This Time I Put On 5 Stone And Ended Up 16 And A Half Stone. I Gave Birth To My Beautiful Daughter Mollie She Weighed 7lbs As She Was 2 Weeks Early. Now This Weight Was Going To Be Quite A Feet To Lose So Went Back To Gp, Yet Again Got Slimming Pills And 1 Year Later When We Went On Our First Family Holiday I Was Back Down To 11 Stone And Felt Fantastic, The Only Problem Was I Never Slept So Was Exhausted I Had Post Natal Depression And Had Started To Experience My Heart Racing And Panic Attacks, I Knew Deep Down This Was To Do With The Slimming Pills, And I Had Also Started To Dabble With Laxatives, Sometime I Would Set Myself Records And One Of Them Was I Didn’t Eat For 5 Days.



You Probably Know What’s Coming? I Couldn’t Stay On The Tablets As They Were Starting To Affect My M.s. So I Decided To Try And Go It Alone, From Then On My Problems Got Worse.



in 1997 I Was 11 Stone

in 1998 I Was 12 Stone 7lbs

in 1999 I Was 13 Stone 8lbs

in 2000 I Was 14 Stone 8lbs



By This Time I Thought I Am Going To Have To Go Back To Gp And Get Pills, Only One Problem They Had Been Taken Off The Market, ****!!!!!!!!!!!!! I Thought What Am I Going To Do Now? In The End I Decided To Go Weight Watchers And Then



in 2001 I Was 13 Stone 8lbs Again So Lost A Stone

in 2002 14 Stone 8lbs

in 2003 15 Stone 8lbs

in 2004 16 Stone 8lbs

in 2005 17 Stone 8lbs

in 2006 18 Stone

in 2007 18 Stone 10lbs



and Now My Final Weight 19 Stone 7lbs.



I Think The Thing That Scared Me Most Was Going Into The 20s That Really Freaked Me Out, So I Decided To Go To See My Gp To Discuss Surgery. (actually I Did Try 2 Years Ago And Got Told To Clear Off, So I Tried To Get A Loan And Got Knocked Back.)



to Be Continued......................................... ...

CHAPTER 2



Hi back again !!!!



So going back to 2000, this is when i really started to struggle with losing weight, i like probably many of you always wanted a quick fix, i visited diet clinics to obtain pills that i knew were going to make me ill. I also started taking laxatives, and got my gp to prescribe water tablets, I used to treat my diet like a ritual, i would always start on a Monday, always with the best of intentions buying lots of healthy food and really trying for several weeks, then what would happen was because the slimming tablets contained speed, I couldn’t sleep! this would make me end up exhausted, so would have breaks from taking them, then of course i was starving and so ate and ate and before i knew it I was even heavier than before. I think when I first started weight watchers I was 13 stone 8lbs, which is not that heavy for my 5 feet 6 inch height, however over the years the points system yet again was only ever a short term thing as it was always too hard to maintain it.



So you might ask how do I remember all of the above weights for all those years? well i will tell you why, those dates represent each holiday I went on. As many of you out there will understand we dont all look forward to our summer holiday abroad with the same intensity of other. I would always say, right thats it im never going on holiday fat again! and I would work out what I wanted to lose, and how long it would take me however as much as I hated it yet again I was back to the normal problems of



1) Not being able to find swimming cozy that fitted me.

2) Not being able to find cosy that covered me.

3) Not being able to buy nice light clothes.

4) Having to wear the fat clothes from last year.

5) Worry for months if the seatbelt would fit on plane.

6) Knowing I would get terrible rash between tops legs.

7) Trying to work out how to get from the sun bed to the pool without my husband, kids or anyone else would see me.

8) Making sure I was never in any pictures so the humiliation didnt carry on once we got home.

9) Never being able to join in the fun activities with the kids, especially the slides at the water parks.

10) Always wondering if my husband was comparing me to the skinny lady on the sun bed lying next to me.



I could go on for longer, but im sure you know them all yourselves, you just think I have saved £1000s all year round for this holiday and yet I feel like s***, and wondered why I bothered.



Anyway I was always the life and soul of the party, im the one making everyone laugh, and used to love the attention. I did my hair and make-up every day and took pride in my appearance. I loved shopping for clothes and shoes and always had a new outfit for every occasion. Anyway I noticed the heavier I got the less I started to go out, I would start to make excuses to people, (including my husband and family) and pretended I was ill, or made some other excuse whenever we were invited anywhere, my friends would ask me to go out to pubs or clubs but the thought of that would actually make me feel physically sick. So my friends I had become a recluse, I have not been out with my friends for about ten years, I try really hard to avoid my husbands family dos as I always think they are saying OH MY GOD HAVE YOU SEEN HOW MUCH WEIGHT SHE HAS PUT ON! If I go shopping I go out of the area as im too ashamed, just in case I was to bump into someone I haven’t seen for several years, that would be just awful.



So I have lived like this probably for the passed ten years, and I have been backwards and forwards to my gp, I was prescribed xenical, reductil and the new one recently cant remember what its called but its supposed to make you depressed, however the were yet again only ever effective in the short term.



So 2 years ago I watched a programme about weight loss surgery (gastric band) and thought this could be a real hope for me! I went to see my gp and was told that my borough didnt fund obesity surgery, I was devastated I then decided not to give up and so tried to get a loan, this was also not very successful as I was turned down.



So I have been suffering terrible symptoms of my obesity in the last couple of years, I have degenerative disc disease, asthma, eczema, joint pain in my hips, ankles and knees and much more, I dont go out during the day except to take my daughter to school, I am aware that my life is just passing me by!



I must stress I have had to cope with a lot of things in my life, as a child physical and sexual abuse. My brother and I being separated as he was then adopted. I have had to cope with achahol in the family, I nearly lost my mum when I was 18 and nearly lost my boyfriend when I was 15 when I witnessed him being stabbed. I have also had to cope with being told I had M.S. at the young age of 18, I am not looking for sympathy for all of these things as I believe they have all made me stronger, I just want to point out the fact that throughout my life I have coped with and beaten all of those things, however for the life of me I just cannot beat this obesity. I never give up on anything that life throws at me but this is just too hard to fight any longer.



When I first started to consider wls I must admit it did feel a little bit like cheating, so I felt a little embarrassed about telling people, so I kept it to myself for a while, then I started to read up on wls and started to realise that it was far from cheating and started to like the idea more and more.



This is not something I have entered into lightly I have read, researched and watched countless wls programmes on the tv, and so came to the conclusion I would go back and speak to my gp again, whats there to lose? she could only say no! just like she did 2 years ago. so thats enough about me and my passed this journal from now on is about my future!!!!!!! It will show my appointments, my thoughts and feelings. I hope this helps anyone out there who is considering wls, as you are aware im only at the begining of my journey, but hope there are many of you out there that will follow me on that journey.

CHAPTER 3



June 2008



Im really fed up the new slimming tablets my gp gave me havnt worked, im going on holiday to Cyprus in Aug and I am the fattest iv ever been and im gutted, I watch yet another wls programme on the discovery channel and think to myself mmmmmmm! I may aswell give gp another go, its been 2 years, so I make an appointment. Im slightly embarrased again about what im about to ask but I just come out and say it, she takes a moment to ask me if thats really what I want and of course I reply YES! She agrees much to my amazement, im in a state of shock, I look across at my mum and she is too, then the bad news although she will refer me to the Homerton, she says there is about a 4 year waiting list. I am a bit upset about it but im thinking at least shes referring me this time thats the main thing. So I come away thinking whats 4 years? iv been fat for 19 so another 4 wont hurt, and in the meantime maybe I could start losing weight the normal way.



I decide to tell my husband an children, but thats it no-one else.



JULY 2008



Unbelievably I get a letter land on my mat with Homerton Hospital on the front, im so excited I open it and to my annoyance the appointment is for the 6th Aug, im gutted as im going on holiday on the 4th so I have to phone and reschedule. They only have an appointment 1 month after that appointment on the 10th September 08, they also enclosed another appointment to see the nurse, dietician and letting me know I will also have to go to a group session, this is all scheduled for Oct 08.



AUG 08



I go on holiday, and yes just about fit into the seat on the plane, the belt also just about goes round me. I have all my old clothes from the last 2 holidays and we have a great time, this time we have a villa so only my hubby and kids have to see me.





10th SEPT 08



I have my appointment with a doctor called Mr Mannur at 2.30pm my mum and I go on the train. When we get there im fascinated by all the people waiting to be seen, I am too scared to talk to anyone in case they are there for something totally different and I dont want to insult them, ( iv been asked twice now whens the baby due?) when im not even pregnant so I know how it feels. Anyway after about an hour of waiting we go in. Im back to feeling embarrassed again, but straight away he puts me at ease, he asks me lots of questions and says he thinks I would be more suited to a gastric bypass than a band as im more of a grazer than anything else. He explains that operation to me then the absolute bombshell! I ask what happens next? and he replies by saying the whole process should take between 4 and 6 months OMG! I am in shock I ask him to repeat what he just said, he does this and I burst into tears, I look across at my mum and shes crying too. I just cant believe it, not only is he prepared to do the surgery, but I wont have to wait 4 years but just 6 months. Im so happy I give him a hug, he sends me off for a blood test and tells me he will apply for funding with my local primary care trust. When we come out of the room there are others sitting there they ask me what wrong, and I can hardly speak I TELL THEM WHAT IV JUST BEEN TOLD AND THEY ARE ALL HAPPY FOR ME, SOME OF THEM ARE PRE OP SOME ARE POST OP!



So I am on cloud 9 I decide to tell my family the news and decide to tell few friends as well this time.



12th SEPT 08



I get yet more good news the appointment which was due to take place in Oct has now been brought forward to 23rd Sept 08.



23rd SEPT 08



I visit the hospital again and see the nurse, she goes through in more detail what the op involves and the pre op and post op details.



7th NOV 08



I receive email from my primary care trust informing me the board have approved the funding for my surgery. I am soooooooo happy I cant believe it I was starting to worry and drive my friends and family mad, the thing is I always have a plan b, but if they had said no I didnt have one so im so grateful they actually said yes.



So that brings me to Sunday 9th November and I thought it would be a good idea to write everything down, it could serve 2 purposes, 1 to act as a bit of a therapy for me and 2 to help others out there who are thinking of wls so hopefully my next entry will have some good news, iv heard some horror stories bout getting the op date but I will just keep badgering them til I get it. so watch this space to be continued............................

Chapter 4

Monday 10th Nov 08

I phoned the hospital today to try and get an appointment so that I could be given a date, bit disapointed now though as was told prob wont even have appointment til jan 09 now what a wait. also told op might not be til march 09

Tues 11th Nov 08

Had bit more luck today as phoned mr mannurs sec and was informed i have apt for 17th Dec 08 just before xmas, so should find out op date then, however was told today could get call anytime so watch this space. to be continued..........

CHAPTER 5
26th November 2008
Well hi everyone just thought I would check back in to let you all know that after much harrassment on my part of poor Mr Mannurs secretary, I finaly have a date formy surgery SATURDAY 17TH JANUARY 2009 I am so excited can hardly contain it, still wont believe it til I have it in writing though.
Saturday 29th November 2008

Well its official I have my letter confirming op I also have to go there on the Monday before for pre-op tests.

Tuesday 2nd December

I spoke to dietitian today she is going to email me the liquid diet that I will need to start 2 weeks prior to surgery, apparently its to help with surgery mainly to shrink your liver so they can get to your stomach easier. I start the diet 3rd Jan 09, but cant go mad over xmas as still got to lose weight before then and email results each week. Back soon !!!!!

THURSDAY 1ST JANUARY 2009

Hi everyone! back again new year, new start for me. I have pigged out a fair bit over christmas been very greedy, however in my defence it has felt like my last supper for the last 2 weeks. Luckily I have not actually put any weight on, however not lost any either. I am off to my friends house tomorrow Fri 2nd 2009 for a take away and that truly is my last supper as start liquid diet Saturday 3rd Jan 2009. Which is exactly 2 weeks before the operation. Will check back in when been on liquid diet for couple of days.

SAT 3RD JAN 09 START PRE OP LIQUID DIET

START WEIGHT 19STONE 4 LBS


SAT 10TH JAN 09

WEEK 1. 18 STONE 3 LBS ......15LB WEIGHT LOSS

Well what can i say! its been a very hard week, i have lost 15lbs in 1 week. I have lived on soup and yoghurt while everyone else has carried on eating their chocs and crisps, i think the hardest thing has to be cooking and dishing up the dinners for the family. its sooooooooooooo hard you wouldnt believe! you get so used to picking at food when your cooking it, you know what i mean you just pick as your going along and also the leftovers at the end, i usually eat those too as i hate to waste the food, thats something i will have to get used to in the future. I also notice now how much everyone else eats in the house. I must say though as the week went on it did start to get easier, i made home made lasagne, chicken corma, and chicken kievs Mmmmmmmmmmm so yummy but i didnt ceat once. I was really scared this time last week thinking about the op however as the weeks gone on and i have seen the weight come off, im quite excited now. I also had to remind myself that my journey does not start next saturday, but it actually started last saturday.

FRIDAY 16TH JANUARY 2009

Well its the night before my op im absolutely fine, not scared at all just sooooooooooooo excited I cant wait. I lost 2 stone all in all just in the 2 weeks on the liquid diet, but it was soooo hard, probably the hardest thing iv ever done.

Anyway the next time I come on here I will be post op please god!

CHAPTER 6

SATURDAY 24TH JANUARY 2009

Well what can I say I did it! I cant believe this time last week I was in recovery room just after having the op. I will give you a breakdown of what happened.

Saturday 17th jan 6:15am we leave house for hospital

7am we arrive and I am directed to my bed in surgical unit,
I get changed into those lovely mesh knickers and stockings, also lovely gown that actually fits and a hat I look sooooooooooo fetching, I see Mr Mannur, my surgeon the anethatist (cant spell it but you know what I mean)

9am and im walking into the theatre and jumping up on the bed, at no point was I nervous or scared just excited. The drip goes in and the next thing I know im in recovery 2 hours later.

11am Im in recovery the op has taken 2 hours the first thing I ask is have I had it done the nurse says "yes" im so happy, im given morphine for the pain however I end up having 12mgs and im almost comatosed its funny when I look back now but wasnt at the time I didnt have a clue what was going on, i wet the bed, I was swearing, allsorts really, I dont think it was out of my system til the evening.

4pm Im taken up to the ward, because of morphine I still dont have a clue whats going on. The rest of the evening is a complete blur, I sleep on and off all night because im having obs done every 2 hours.

SUNDAY 18TH JANUARY 2009 6AM Iv tried to cope with just paracetamol for the pain as im too scared of the morphine, in the end the doc comes round and explains I did have quite a high dose in recovery and we could try 3mgs, apprahensively I agree however yet again it knocks me for six I cant speak im totally out of it again, but at least the pain has gone. Lots of people visit but to be honest its a total blur again. I still have a drip and those poxy stocking are so tight and really making me itch, im told I have to keep them on. Yesterday and today im just having sips of water, but each day feeling slightly better.

MONDAY 19TH JANUARY 2009 5AM

I wake up feeling really sick I have to go down to main entrance to get fresh air, then im given anti sickness meds feel much better.

11am To my amasement im told by docs I can go home I shit myself ( not literally) im just scared I dont know why, a bit like when you have your first baby and you leave the hospital and your on your own! Anyway im told it wont be til the evening as they have to get all my meds ready, everything I take at home normally has to be converted into liquid form, aswell as all the other meds they are gonna give me. The thing is I know this sounds silly but I have a real phobia of medicine, I have since I was little.

8pm we arrive home with 2 massive bags of meds including 2 weeks worth of injections I have to have in tummy to stop blood clots.

TUESDAY 20TH JANUARY 2009 6AM I have had a great nghts sleep, cant manage anything to eat just drinking, im supposed to have 1 pint of milk, soups and yoghurts but cant face them, have tried some jelly my mum made for me and liked it!!!!!!!!!.

WEDNESDAY 21ST JANUARY 2009 6AM Feeling better everyday now just very tired try to get up and do little bits can only really stay up for hour or two at time. Getting used to injections my mums giving me, still not and never will get used to meds, good job only for month I think.

THURSDAY 22ND JANUARY 2009 9AM Its my sons 19th birthday today, its his day off so we get up and open pressies and cards, they all have cake but im fine its like they operated on my brain too dont even want any. Cant eat any savoury stuff still on jelly and juice.

FRIDAY 23RD JANUARY 2009 9AM Still getting better everyday I tried some milky coffee today and some tomato soup and like both so at least thats bit different.

SATURDAY 24TH JANUARY 2009 1PM Well I am feeling good cant stop thinking this time last week . I started pre-op diet 3 weeks ago today was 19 stone 7lbs 3 weeks later I weigh 16 stone 12lbs thats a loss of 2 stone and 9lbs. Its like I have magic scales they never go up I love it! Anyway will sign off for now, I must also say that without the support of my friends and family I couldnt have done it. They have been reaL troopers and helped me sooooooooooooo much especially my mum!!!!!!!!!!

CHAPTER 7

MONDAY 2ND MARCH 09

Well been a rollercoaster of a month hardley lost any weight apparently my body has gone into starvation mode but its sooooooo hard all tat hard work and yet the scales never move very disheartening anyway iv started swimming tonight with my pal donna and did 30 lenghts felt great so that should kickstart weight loss
Anyway im 16 stone 7lbs now so iv lost 3 stone in total so at least its moving n right direction hopefully next time i check in will have lost alot more!i must say that once you get to the textured stage of the food diet at week 4 you have dreamed about food for a whole 6 weeks so you are a little obsessed with trying all different foods, however it has started to wear off a bit now and i am starting to settle down a bit when it comes to food, i think i am always gona have a strange relationship when it comes to food but am learning to adapt to my new life every single day !!

CHAPTER 8 SUNDAY 29TH MARCH 2009

Hi all well this month has been alot easier than last month im now 15 stone 10lbs and am finally starting to see consistant weight loss which was what i wanted. I have been swimming and started to buy new clothes im a size 16 on top now, not sure bout bottom still not bought anything for bottom yet too scared. My old clothes are really startng to hang on me I wont be able to wear them for much longer. I do still kind of feel like im on a diet but it is still by far the easiest one iv been on because to a point i know it cant fail. Unless i was to stretch my small pouch but i wont do that it would all have been for nothing if i did.


CHAPTER 9 THURSDAY 7TH MAY 09

Well back again still losing thank god it seems to varey from 0.5lbs per week to 3.5lbs per week i dont know why because i dont seem to do anything different. i have not been sick now for a few weeks either thats mainly down to knowing when to stop eating you generaly feel a slight pain when your getting full so i know when to stop. I have bought a bike and am still swimming. i have boght some new clothes all either 16s or 14s which is fab I have set myself a target of 12 stone 10lbs by the 29th july for holiday I dont know if I am being too optimistic but will give it a go I have 1 stone 5.5lbs to go so we will have to see (fingers crossed) The brilliant thing is I am not dreading this holiday I am really looking forward to it, dont get me wrong I will still be contious of lumps and bumps but if I do get to that weight it will be nearly 7 stone I would have lost so I wont be as hard on the eyes as before! I am just 5lbs short of the 5 stone mark at the moment and I feel fantastic it truly is the best decision I have ever made, and have never regreted it for a single moment. I just keep thinking this time last year I hadnt even been to see my GP so much has happend in the last year and I thank my lucky stars every day!
