After surgery and a drastic move, Sophia was in a stressful period - she gained 23 pounds. From the diet she was prescribed, she was allowed to eat almost nothing, but oddly enough, she didn't lose weight either. Until she discovered NewFysic. Read her whole story here.
My story begins three years ago when I underwent colon surgery. The surgery went well and after ten days I was allowed to go home with a large abdominal wound.
Difficult recovery
Upon returning home, I was in a lot of pain, but I realized that I had to be patient with my recovery. A year after my surgery, my husband and I moved to South Limburg. The move caused a lot of stress, and in addition to the persistent pain in my abdomen, the pounds inexplicably flew on. I drank the occasional wine, but otherwise ate healthily.
Gained 23 kilograms
After two years I had gained 23 kilograms. I looked at my own body in disbelief and despair. Tests were done in the hospital, but nothing came up. I was referred to a dietician who prescribed a low-carb diet.
I ate almost nothing.
After the first week I had lost 1 kilo. After that little more happened. I was shocked: I ate almost nothing and lost almost nothing weight. This went on for weeks, months. The doctor at the hospital couldn't help me either and advised me to see a psychiatrist. I didn't want that. READ ALSO: Word je dik van koolhydraten?
Logeerpartij
In het najaar kwam er een vriendin logeren die me vol enthousiasme vertelde over NewFysic. Ik dacht: wat eet ze veel... en ze valt nog af ook! Terwijl de kilo’s er bij mij al bijkwamen als ik alleen al naar een broodje kéék. Het maakte me onzeker. Toen ze weg was, besloot ik te kijken of NewFysic mij ook zou kunnen helpen.
Redder in nood
Bij NewFysic ontmoette ik mijn redder in nood. Mijn coach oordeelde niet, hoorde mijn verhaal aan en bood een luisterend oor. Er gingen bij mij een heleboel tissues doorheen tijdens dat eerste gesprek… En toen kwam het moment waarop ik op de weegschaal moest gaan staan. Wat een enorme teleurstelling was dat. Maargoed, ik was van plan mijn tanden erin te zetten: ik ging het vier weken proberen.
Ik ben weer de oude
Vier weken werden vier maanden en nu ben ik er nog steeds. Nu, ben ik weer helemaal de oude. Ik weet niet wat er van mij terecht was gekomen als ik NewFysic niet ontdekt had. NewFysic en mijn lieve begrijpende coach hebben me mijn leven teruggegeven. Daar ben ik ze ontzettend dankbaar voor. LEES OOK: These supplements can help you lose weight
Mild surgery
Back at the hospital, it turned out that the lump in my abdomen that was bothering me so much needed to be removed. It was a confirmation for me that I was not crazy, the pain was not between my ears. Because I was back to my old self, the surgery could be done in a much less invasive way and the recovery was also much faster.
This is how I keep going
My golden tip is: always keep believing in yourself stand behind your decisions. I posted my weight results on Facebook every week for everyone to see, which gave me extra support. Meanwhile, six of my friends have started Newfysic, with fantastic results. In a Whatsapp group we support and encourage each other. Love Sophia Are you curious what NewFysic can do for you?
