I was on the phone at work today when someone asked for my e-mail address so I read it out to them as
sarah dot swift at etc.
When I came off the phone the girl I work with turned to me and said "I didn't know your middle name was Dot"
Honestly - I give up

Before I discovered the Cambridge Diet I was seriously considering surgery. After reading a few horror stories and realising that I'm a chicken and have never had any surgery (never mind the fact that I'm a hypochondriac!!) I decided against it.
I am now so glad I didnt bother. I read a few blogs about the surgery before I started this diet and looking back on them now I realise that I've lost more weight than most of them in the same amount of time.
They will never be able to go back to eating normally, and they have to taken tons of pills per day as their bodies will never be able to get all the vitamins they need, due to the small amount of food they can consume.
My sister is a nurse and she had a day of patients coming in for weight loss surgery yesterday. One lady who was bigger than me when I started (nearly 25 stone) was absolutely petrified that she wouldn't come out of the anaesthetic. That was one of the things that scared me most about surgery (especially at my weight).
I wonder if these patients have ever heard of VLCD's. It's a shame that hospitals don't promote them more, rather than performing surgery. Surely surgery is more of a risk than trying a VLCD for a couple of months.
My sister says she was dying to tell them about me, but we don't think the surgeon would have been very pleased 
Anyway that's just my opinion and it was my decision to go down this route rather than surgery, and I have to say, so far it's one of the best decisions I've made
