Constantly! I’ve put on so much weight with all the treatments and severe depression. I am waiting surgery and want to loose some weight so started a juice diet 4 days ago (I’ve lost 1kg) it is tough but I’m feeling determined at the moment!!

Yesss. I have such a busy life so fitting in the gym is almost impossible given that I work 12 hours shifts but over the last 6 months I’ve been making much more of an effort to really watch what I eat and to walk every where, get up and walk up and down the 3 flights of stairs in work any chance I get and all I’ve managed to loose is half a stone and then the rest just won’t budge!

TMI even when I was having 2 weeks of constant diarrhoea (TMI) I didn’t budge a pound!!

I am getting married in 6 months so naturally want to look my best on the wedding day but I’m starting to feel like I’m destined to look like a blob in a big white dress! :’)

It’s not fun is it Vicky. I’m gutted I’ve only lost a kg and yet I’ve had nothing but juices & salad all week.

Remember your partner wants to marry you! and you will look stunning on the day as you will be wearing a dress you feel fantastic in and you will be so happy. I was a size 16 on my wedding day and I loved it.

I think all our hormonal treatments we take & depression with the condition does not help us 😤

Definitely! I tried losing weight for years and ended up deflated and gaining more. The only thing that has helped me is slimming world, I have lost 3.5 stone in just over a year despite massive ups and downs due to hormones. I'd definitely recommend it!

Yes. Strict Paleo is only thing that worked for me. I droped kgs easily and because it's similar to the endo diet it helps endo flares also.

Yes, my weight got worse after my last laparoscopy which was in Feb, the bloating is horrible. I’ve started to go to the gym and work through the pain, but the pain after the gym is horrible. Weight has not shifted at all.
