  1. So I'm out of surgery. I'm in a lot of pain and the morphine isn't helping much. I've been drifting out of sleep all day, waking up for 5 mins at a time to get more painkillers. The plus side is that the staff are simply amazing. I've had every question answered and they are so friendly. Anyway back to sleep

    Alcohol and 2 weeks post op!

    My surgeon only told me about alcohol because I specifically asked about it, he didn't give me a handout or anything. He said its ok to have after 4 weeks out. I get why your asking Sarah, if its only about calories you might think you can have one or half a one but if it poses a real risk to your health you might think differently. I don't know why people are acting like this, it's a perfectly valid question!

    Pre-Op Questions

    I'm having surgery this Monday!!! Good luck! I can't eat yogurt afterwards until I'm two weeks out, in the purée stage. It's not technically a liquid so you aren't supposed to eat it in the liquid stage. Just follow your doctors orders exactly, that's what I plan on doing

    January 2013 Sleevers?

    My surgery is this Monday. Only four days away!! I am really nervous. I have been on my Pre op diet for two and a half weeks. It's been challenging but I found a brand of shakes that I really like. My surgeon is dr brancatisano is Sydney Australia. He is the best apparently. Anyway wish me luck
  10. I'm going to take pole dancing classes, wear a mini dress, go para sailing, rock climbing, go to a formal evening, wear a bikini... So many things haha

    Im 20 and scared!

    I'm 20 too and pretty nervous. But I just think of it like this: I am young enough now to turn my life around. I have already wasted too long being overweight, never doing the things I wanted to or going where I want. Now I have the tool I need (sleeve) to change my life so why wouldn't I do it? We are still so young with so much to look forward too!!! Good luck xx P.s message me if you want to chat sometime

    Yuck!

    I like them but I have a friend who doesn't. To make it taste better she uses chocolate flavor, adds ice when she mixes and a splash of milk with the water. Her version does taste pretty good to me.
  14. When I have lost weight in the past the first place i lost from was my face and my boobs
  15. Awesome job on the weightloss!! I would think of it like this: a larger person can lose lots of weight eating 1000-1200 cals a day but once you start losing weight you should lower it to 800 so that weightloss can continue. I have no idea about the 3 meals a day thing though... I think 6 meals is better especially because the meal sizes are so small, we should be eating more often.

    I told my partner (we live together so he would find out sooner or later), my mum and my sister. I don't think I will tell anyone else, no one else really needs to know
