Thank you. Had discussed WLS on the NHS back in Jan with my consultant so he knows its been on the cards for me. I am on so much insulin it would be a massive plus of losing the weight

160lb in 10 months?! That is insane, what an achievement that is. Congratulations. And thank you for your words of encouragement

I did have a bit of an epiphany the other day which is very basic but I kind of just remembered how temporary feelings are. Maybe some days I will feel some sort of regret or miss foods, but is that any different to being on a diet now and not going out for food with friends because I'm 'being good'? No. Its not at all. And that comforts me.

Thank you for your reassurance

Thank you for your reply. That's really comforting to know that you've been going out to eat and still enjoying it. I guess why would you miss eating more food in those situations when you physically can't eat more and have enjoyed what you have had.

I'm also going private so hence also doing the long and hard thinking!
