OMG I forgot about the pain part! It's just amazing what vanity does to you. Thanks so much for your kind wishes.

I know, it's great. I had to buy some new tracksuit pants for walking cos my partner said I looked like I had a saggy elephants bum. My bum looks pretty good in my new ones!

It's a great problem to have. Not having anything to wear because everything is too BIG is also kind of a nice feeling.

Mrs Gina looks pretty short but getting her over your shoulder to burp could be a challenge.

And I'm not doing any diaper changing!

That's my holiday house, my residence is in the mountains.

I live in a really hilly area so I might be a bit slow. My partner is good at running so I might get him to do it with me, he can drag me up the hills then I can run down!

Thanks Dean, I'll give it a go, can walk 10 km now but have never been good at running though I'd love to be. Keep me up to date with your progress and I will do likewise. Wendy.

It's not like that for everyone, though I must admit that at 3 weeks out I didn't even think about eating cake. I am now 15 weeks out and had my first taste of cake today. My daughter and I met for coffee, she ordered cake, told me to have a taste and I did exactly that, I had a taste, about a teaspoon full. I think it's the wrong approach to see how much you can eat before you feel full. I can still only eat about 2 ozs of Protein at a time. I am not perfect, but I am strict with calories. If you have the surgery and stick to the diet you will do well, but one slice of cake is about 3 days worth of calories. Why eat that???? Or if you are going to why bother having the surgery in the first place?

I really want to do this Dean. Which App have you got? Wendy.

Good luck ladies and don't worry about those hoo haa's, they give you some of those cute paper panties to wear so it's not exposed.

You shave it. Doesn't that itch?

Oh how I wish I still had that problem. The first 20 lbs I lost went off my boobs.

Wendy...... Hey Martin, did I tell you that you are looking really cute these days?

I would never harass you Fyre! You are looking just too cute these days!!!!!!

Oh, they blanked out my word, it was the other spelling for hormones!

I have been asleep for 8 hours and you are still talking about this!!! Must be the *****-moans.

Don't forget to count the calories though!

Hey Fyre, I love your new look, I'd give you some but...........................

My sister was banded by Dr. Moore 10 years ago. He is highly respected in Melbourne. I have a family history of diabetes and my knees were very bad. I was on the verge of having a knee replacement but now my pain has gone and I am walking 8kms most days.

Hi, My BMI was 35 and my surgeon did not hesitate. I had Patrick Moore at Epworth Private at Box Hill in Melbourne. Everything went really smoothly and I have lost 25 kilos since surgery on November 14. I have absolutely no regrets. Good luck.

This topic comes up a lot. Some will say be honest and tell everyone and others will disagree. It seems to me that most people just don't understand and tend to make you feel worse rather than being encouraging and positive. I told my partner and my children who were all very supportive, but I am so glad I did not tell others as I would hate the judgement and cross-examinations.

Oh, I am so dumb!!

Can I get another clue please??
