Louth native Ruth has shared her experience of weight loss surgery as she is now a massive 100lbs down - she spoke about her journey as well as her biggest pieces of advice
Ruth Quigley had struggled with her weight all her life, but it came to a head after she graduated college during the Covid-19 pandemic.
"During puberty I got heavier, and then I went to college to become a nurse and I graduated during peak Covid. I got very burnt out and very down in myself and my weight spiralled after that. I was 25 at the time and I just couldn't go on. I was out of breath walking up the stairs and I just knew it was holding me back. I wasn't confident, I hated getting my picture taken and that kind of thing.
"I feel so much better," said Ruth. "I have energy, I have stamina again. I can go for walks with my boyfriend and not be really out of breath. I feel normal now, the way I should be feeling."
