I can tolerate wine pretty well, but the 1st time I had it I was a drunk as a scunk on 1 glass. However I persevered and am back to normal, but I am much more a light weight now. It depends if you want to risk the extra calories and the possibility of dependancy transfer. I know I will always have to watch the booze, have it as a fun thing rather than a way of life if you get my drift. Jane x PS Part Red Indian is cool!!!

Hi BJean, I think all their wildlife is scary, but I have never dived there before. Oz is on the opposite side of the globe to us so I think its very long haul, but I have always wanted to go. Jane x

Scuba diving is great, really recommend it. I learnt on my honeymoon a million years ago and had to stop because of the weight and fitness issues. I have dived since the op and it was fine. Am looking forward to doing the great Barrier reef in Austarlia this Christmas, fingers crossed. Jane x

I found that if my calories are too low I stall!! Jane x

Hi I love your YouTube videos, you are a terrific girl. It will be wonderful to watch your weight loss journey. Jane x

Your friends at the office sound lovely, you are lucky to have nice mates. And you will end up taking them up on their offers, I hope you get your surgery soon. Jane x

Me too please at jj@nrjconsulting.co.uk Jane x

I remeber going to ObesityHelp and mousing over their before and after pictures in a most obsessive way, to get my motivation going. It seems such a long time ago now, but it was only last year. Stay strong and just wait out the weight loss. Jane x

Hi, I had the 5 port procedure and I can't see my scars now. I applied bio-oil to the scars from month 2 to 6 and they have just faded. Jane x

Yay, brilliant result!!! Jane x

Not passed out at all for the last however months. Just to say that.

PLease don't be scared. I have just come home from eating out with friends, see normal life carrying on here. Please do this surgery, it's the best thing for us who can't sustain a diet. Jane xx

I made out a living will in case I ended up vegetabalised!!! Jane x

Sometimes you need to eat more calories to lose more weight, if it's too low your body goes into conservation starvation mode. Jane x

Hi Globie, make sure you have a lunch hour and walk round the shops. To be honest the not eating much is far more effective for losing weight than the exercise thing, for me at least. I was lucky in the last job, the kitchen was upstairs and I worked downstairs and as I have to have at least one cup of tea an hour I got plenty of stairmaster type activity. Before the op I was a workaholic but now I am a bloody skiver, I really don't know if my work ethic will ever come back. I keep trying to persuade DH that I am old enough to retire but he's not buying it. We have the twins to fund through Uni and the house to rebuild so I guess I will have to keep on flogging these old bones. Jane x

Great news Steve, welcome to the club. Jane x

I cough if I eat too fast. Its really strange. Jane x
