Weight Loss

w Colostomy. Normally a British Size 8 and weighing 8 Stone 2 Pounds, my weight plummeted to 5.5 Stone. I was skeletal. I remember my teeth looked like Tombstones. Although the bottom half of my body was riddled with Oedema, so swollen, the top half of me looked like I had been starved of all nutrients. I had bones protruding, my muscles had wasted away and I was very frail. I dont remember eating very much at all in hospital. I was 'Nil by Mouth' quite alot I seem to remember. This is not a way of dieting I would reccommend!! I looked like a little old lady, walked hunched over and yet still had the motivation in me to get well again.
