What would you tell someone who is thinking about having weight loss surgery?

"I had surgery at 48, I wish I did it at 28 and I am so glad I didn’t wait until 68!

The nagging issue of food and weight which was ever present in my life disappeared after surgery.
When I wake up in the morning I am not thinking about breakfast and when I'm eating lunch I'm not thinking about dinner.
My mind doesn’t wander in the middle of my day thinking for the 50th time that day how am I going to get rid of this weight?
Six mouthfuls of yummy food make me feel like I have had a three-course meal and I don’t want anymore.

The surgery has opened up a path that has led me to feel physical freedom for the first time in 48 years and with physical freedom comes emotional and psychological relief.

I say… have the surgery!"

"Protein. Protein. Protein. Listen to your body, your tolerance for some foods will change, this is not a bad thing but you do need to be able to know what your body needs when it needs it.
Supplement diet with exercise - it doesn’t always help with weight loss but it is an amazing way to experience the world again. "

Meal prepping can seem like such a difficult task at first but can we tell you a secret? 🤫
It's not that hard, it just takes a little time and effort.

Getting prepped and organised early, although it's annoying at the time, will help you stick to your regime and kick goals.
It all starts with your meal planning, according to your dietary requirements. Following this is a trip to your local supermarket, and then it's up to you to chop, dice, slice, mix and bake as many meals as you possibly can.
Do not let a lack of food preparation be your downfall!

Everyone who is successful in a dietary adjustment in their lives will tell you the same – be organised!

Any tips that you would like to share that helped you post-surgery?

"Take as many Pre-Op and Post-Op pictures as you can, and make a “bariatric surgery goals” list. They can be very simple goals like “Fitting comfortably on a seat” or “No more chafing”. The post-op process can be taxing, and you might feel down or frustrated at times. Seeing small changes in your pictures or crossing out a goal from your list can help keep you motivated. Having a “Goal” clothing item also does wonders!"

Weight before Surgery (KG): 126KG
Total Lost (KG): 46KG

What barriers did you face that put you off inquiring about weight loss surgery at the beginning of your journey?
"I initially (incorrectly) felt surgery was an 'extreme' measure. However, after a bit of research, it became very obvious that this was not the case and it was a useful tool like many others. I guess I was just concerned about side effects but I have had almost no negative side effects, only positive ones!"
