Joining Slimming World

2 Replies

I’m am joining slimming world. We had a zoom meeting last night and my wife and I are joining. I twice went to Scottish slimmers. The first time I lost 4.5 stone but put it back on and a lot more. The second time my doctors told me that I needed to get my BMI down to 38 in 6 months to get a hernia operation. When I went back after 6 months my BMI was 38. They moved the goal post and said I have to be 35. They just told me to go back to my doctors when I reached 35 and get rerefered. After all the hard work I put in I lost it and put it back on again. I’m now type 2 diabetic and more health issues. I think I’m ready to try again. I used to like swimming but that can’t happen just now.

Hi, I had a very similar experience for an operation. And got very little acknowledgment for my efforts. You kind of have to adopt a "I'll show you what I can do!" I'm a nurse and see how people are very easily dismissed. Hope u can show them what's what, and stop them hold your health hostage X
