I'm new to this

Hello my name is Stella. My son told me about this site as I have had some trouble losing weight lately. I am with a Weigh Ahead as a 3 tier system for weight loss surgery but to get there I have to lose a bit of weight first. Its not been easy as I have had a health problem with my back, which has restricted me from doing a lot, I have also found it hard in general just being over weight, no energy and out of breath. I have also been under some stress recently as my mum passed away and I caught viral infection, then I had a cold, something I managed to avoid. So it been really tough. On top of all that I'm a diabetic and when taking tablets, the side effects are weight gain and feeling hungry.
