Jade, at work, was a pretty big girl and was trying for a baby and was basically told that it'd need to be IVF, and that she was too big for much chance of success even with that (she must have been well over 100 kilos).
After the surgery she could only eat drink very very small volumes and, had to do it very slowly too. Incredibly slowly, in fact, one small sip at a time. I believe she started with protein shakes and then gradually moved up to liquified food and now finally very small bites.
She's had to change her working hours to fit in a longer pair of breaks so that she can get enough food and water.
She's lost heaps of weight, 50 kilos I think, and very quickly. She says she feels great and has so much more energy, feels far more alive. On the downside, she keeps having to buy new clothes.
Early days but the IVF has worked and she's pregnant so it's been, in her words, the best thing she ever did.
Wow! That’s an amazing story from beginning to end. What a wonder. Oh, thank you. I shall post this to my Ma as I think it will just make her happy, and it’s full of hope.
