Wendy Carpenter is now on day 32 post op after her gastric bypass surgery at Vita Clinics (www.vitaclinics.co.uk) – Wendy has lost 2 stone 3 pounds (14 kilos) since her pre op diet and is now eating ‘mushy’ food, no bread, no pasta and is going to try exercising more.

“Still no bowel movements! The mango has failed me. I’m going to have to resort to prune juice. I’ve walked for quite a while today and within minutes my right knee was seriously hurting me. Although I am getting less pain on a day to day basis, it obviously isn’t anything like as strong as it should be. I would like to start using my bike soon but I’m dreading the way my knee will cope with it.

My excess weight loss is 28% (that’s using 10 stone 10lbs as my base line) It has certainly helped my knee let’s hope as the weight drops, the knee improves.”
