Well I have been battling with my weight for years and tried every diet known to man - Well there are very few I am sure I have not embarked due to financial matters.

Anyhow my last venture was just doing the Atkins diet for the 4th time.. I failed previously because I had no imagination what to eat just the same boring foods. This time I found plenty of recipies and a good support system. I however lost 5lbs in the first three days< which thrilled me to bits>. On the six day I had some light coke which said it had one carb. .... Well without using bad language it was rubbish. I put on 5lbs overnight. This really took the wind out of my sails and I was really deppressed.

I rememberd my doctor saying that with my family's history being so bad and with the amont of weight I had to lose she would do her best to put my case forward if I wanted.

I had my appointment with her yesterday. She said that it will not be a overnight process and could take months to go ahead ....

I don't care right now. I just think that having done research everyone that has had it done their life has improved.

I feel a bit embarressed that I have to take such severe action to get my life back. But you know ... It is available and a Gods send. So if it helps why not....... It is not up to others it is for me.

I have been on UTUBE and there are some really amazing stories . .. It really does help to see real people going through this Journey. So if you guys have a story post it . It gives hope. And if you are starting out - God Bless and see you when you are back..
