🎙️ The Road to Transformation: My Journey to Weight Loss Surgery and Beyond

Episode 2: Navigating the NHS Level 3 Weight Management Programme

In this episode, I dive into my experience with the Level 3 Weight Management Programme on the NHS — a vital step in my journey to weight loss surgery.

💬 In this episode, I share:
✅ What the Level 3 Weight Management Programme involves
✅ The specialists I worked with — including a dietician, physiotherapist, and consultant
✅ Why maintaining your referral weight is important (and why small fluctuations are normal)
✅ The challenges I faced balancing my chronic illnesses with weight management
✅ The steps I took to improve my eating habits, including introducing breakfast and increasing my protein intake
✅ My decision-making process when choosing between surgery or weight loss injections

🩺 Key Takeaway: This process isn’t rushed — be prepared for long waits between appointments and ensure you’re committed to following the steps to give yourself the best chance of success.

💬 Extra Tips:
I also discuss exploring alternative exercise methods, like Tai Chi and integrating movement into daily activities, to help manage pain from fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis.

🔍 Support Along the Way:
I share my experience joining the Obesity UK support group — a vital requirement for moving forward with surgery — where I gained valuable insights from others on similar journeys.
