Kildare mum dropped five and a half stone after failing to lose weight for years through dieting – RSVP Live

Jul 17th, 2022

Kildare woman Laura has spoke of how much better she feels after dropping five and a half stone so far on her weight loss journey.

The mum's weight had been affecting her and her health for years, but it was this year that she took things into her own hands and made the decision that she would drop the weight.

She had been a 'yoyo' dieter for years, but to no avail.

Laura told RSVP Live: "My health was a big thing and then I had a baby in 2019 and he's just a tornado. It really opened my eyes to how little energy I had and I had reached a point where I was unable to move unless I really had to.

"I reached that point where enough was enough. It was actually my GP who mentioned weight loss surgery."

Laura originally had her name down for weight loss surgery in Ireland, but she was facing a wait of around five years minimum. Therefore she decided to get it in Prague instead, and is so happy she did.

"I was a complete yoyo dieter," said Laura. "I had lost weight numerous times through different avenues, and I'd lose three, maybe four stone and factors like effort and mental health would happen and I'd put it back on plus more.

"I knew I needed something permanent, I needed the tool of weight loss surgery. A lot of people thing it's the easy way out, but at the end of the day, it is just a tool. You still have to make the right food choices."

Laura got surgery in April and has lost five and a half stone between the pre-surgery diet and post-op. She says the difference in her energy is unbelievable.

"I get up if I need to get something, or I can run up the stairs if I need to," she said. "Before, I wasn't able to go up the stairs. Once I was downstairs in the morning, I wasn't going back up until I was going to bed, it wasn't worth the effort.

"Obviously I have more energy for my youngest son, I can bring him to the playground and on walks and things like that."

Laura still has a way to go and hasn't reached her weight loss goal yet, but she is smashing it so far. Keep up with her journey on her Instagram here.
