Agree with all the others - go for it and start your life where you can join in with things and be happy.
Let us know how things go.
Oh hun feel for you soo much as i was reading your post i was thinking ive heard this before about surgery then i got to the bit where you said you were offered it last yr what a memory eh !! GO FOR IT dont look back just look back at your thread in maybe a yr after your surgery and see how far youve come i envy you really as you seem such a lovely person and need this sooo much xxxxxxxx
Hi Roch
There is so much I want to say to you - I am glad that you realise that you are the one in charge of your future and you are the one who has control over what you do and do not eat and drink. That is a major step on the road to recovery - because that is what this is... it is a journey of recovery.
You can do this, I know you can, but you need to know it yourself too.
How? I don't know.. but be realistic about goals and targets.. in the past the VLCD has not been successful for you - that doesn't mean it won't be now. It just means it wasn't in the past.
Personally I would recommend calorie counting because I know how tough it is when you are as big as you are (remember at my biggest I topped over 25 stone) to go without food. Your body will not appreciate it , plus, you are on a lot of medications which quite frankly I think will have contraindications with a VLCD.
On a calorie controlled diet you can eat and will still lose significant amounts of weight.
I hate to read of your health issues and the hygiene and the difficulties with sweat rashes etc... all things I have endured in the past too.. trust me.. I know precisely what it is like and remember all too well how horrendous it can be.
With summer knocking on the door now it would be great to think that this will be your last May with these problems.. and your final June with thighs that rub together., your very last ever July huffing and puffing with shopping bags in the heat.... August in pain will be a distant memory this time next year...
I'm dead serious sweetheart... no more pi$$ing around now... this is your life you are playing with and it's a very precious and valuable commodity... you are the one in control of things... you are the only one who buys your food and drink.. who cooks your food and drink.. and who decides what you do and don't consume. End of.
I know there will be those who think I am being very harsh and maybe I am, but we have been here before my darlin. We both know it.
Do what you have to do to be the Roch you truly deserve to be, you are a phenomenal person with an inordinate amount of love, intelligence, joy, talent and life to enjoy and share with others.
I for one would love to see you realise and release all that potential.
You can do it. Have faith in yourself and you will get there.
Much love
xxxxxxx
