Wendy Carpenter is now on day 51 post op after her gastric bypass surgery at Vita Clinics (www.vitaclinics.co.uk). Wendy has now lost almost 4 stone (41.9 lbs) since her pre-op diet. Her BMI is now 37.6 down fromn 44.7 at the start of her pre-op diet. She still finds it difficult to eat meat unless it’s ground up and can’t easily digest fruit and veg skins.  This however is only a temporary issue.

“I’ve managed to walk for an hour today I have not had time to myself for a few days to be able to exercise, working hard this time of year. Hardly time to sleep! Such is the nature of our business. I’ve also caught up a bit in the garden, spending time in the veg plot and cleaning the hen’s coup out. I even managed to do some work on a bonsai tree or two. It won’t last long I’ll be back at work tomorrow.

Things should ease up when the kids are off school in a couple of weeks.”
