PillSorted success story

Debi’s story: six stone lost and a completely new relationship with food

“I’ve lost six stone and completely changed how I eat. I actually understand what my body needs now.”

Debi Gaffney

Debi started her weight loss journey in December 2024 and in just under 10 months reached her goal weight — going from 15st 9lb to 9st 12lb. She’s now maintaining at around 10 stone with a healthy BMI. She’s implemented an all-natural approach throughout — and she’s really happy with the results.

Having tried many providers before PillSorted, she found that real people sharing their experiences and getting advice from real people in real time brings the best results.

A completely different way of eating

I’ve taken an all-natural approach throughout my weight loss. For my fibre, I make homemade lentil soup, which works great. I’m eating much better now and I really understand the calories needed to support my body.

More energy, more life

I feel much more energetic and I can do a lot more now — things that were just too difficult before.

Why PillSorted was different

I’ve tried many providers. Some were fine, some were not. But what PillSorted does differently is the people.

Real people sharing their experiences. Real advice from real people, in real time. That’s what gets results. The Facebook support group has been brilliant — you’re hearing from other patients who are going through the same thing. The YouTube channel is genuinely helpful. And knowing the clinical team is there when you need them makes all the difference.

It’s not just a prescription and off you go. You actually feel like someone’s got your back.

What I’d do differently with dosing

Looking back, I wish there were better guidelines on moving up the doses and also on tapering down when getting close to maintenance. I feel I could have stayed on the lower doses for longer, but the guidelines often suggested moving up too quickly. Finding the right momentum for maintenance — one that helps me feel in control — is really important.

Look after the whole picture

I value more holistic advice on side effect management — constipation, for example — and guidance on how to manage loose skin and strengthen hair through plenty of natural protein and exercise.
