Hi all Just wanted to comment about the hair loss mine started at about 4 months post op I lost heaps I am 16mths out and have baby hair everywhere so it's growing back but it's gonna take time!!!! I take Vitamins so I hope that is helping I do miss my hair

It's 15months for me and I still eat off my partners plate or kids plates when we eat out we save heaps on h'days eating out!! Love it!!

Hi guys I know the feelings of the stalls that you guys are having you start thinking crap how could I not lose weight I have barley eaten this week or oh no this is not going to work for me what have I done to myself was it a waste!! Etc I can't explain the body but I promise you it does come off!! I had a few stalls and bad food days but it all still has dropped off!!! It will happen to you all as well I had and still have days I eat more and can fit more I get scared still but then I have days I can't fit much in so its balancing it out for me. This is the best weight loss tool ever ????

At least twice a month I eat something that doesn't agree with me and I go running to the little girls room.........I still haven't worked out what it is! I have never vomited which is good I eat till I'm way to full these days but been lucky I must still stop in time!! I still have trouble dishing up my plate sometimes I still put double what I could fit in my tummy.....it's my mind wanting more! I struggled with the puréed stage I wanted real food.........I was meant to go like 8 weeks.........I lasted 4 then I just started eating normal food just very small amounts and chewed the crap out of it......Life got better and the cravings stopped because nothing was off limits........ Now I can eat anything but I never eat much......it's funny because I know I can have it I don't usually have it I use to eat chocolate biscuits for Breakfast that habit is gone as well......I just don't feel to do it anymore It gets easier and it's worth it ????

Hi guys Congratulations you made it to the other side now the fun starts!! These few weeks are the hardest as your head will still want the big meals you were use to having but the stomach can't take it.....my mouth would Water every food ad on TV.....it drove me crazy! But it passes I promise and the scales will drop it will happen! I had days of eating shit all day long and thought it's not gonna work......but it did work as the amounts felt like a lot but they were nothing compared to before the sleeve.....I'm now 1 year and 2months sleeved it's been the best year of my life I wish I did this sooner!! 35kgs gone!!! A year out I can still only eat about a cup of food somedays and other days less in one sitting........ But I can eat often it clears quickly so I can still gain if I'm not careful.......I don't drink with meals ever and have not had soft drink since preop my reflux stopped when I gave up diet coke! Haven't had it since! I don't exercise at all which is really bad!!! I need to pull my finger out........My taste buds have changed i know eat salads and vegetable I would never touch before!! You all have made the right choice this is going to change your quality of life ????????????

omg yum!!

I was the same I was so bored and just wanted some food!! Great loss in 2 weeks!!!

It will be the best thing you ever do for yourself!! Example I had party's all weekend I'm talking like 5 and I ate at them had cake, wine bbq, what ever was on offer!! I didn't put on any weight this morning I'm actually 600 grams Lighter than Friday's weigh in!!! It will change your life the 1st month is hard really hard the food cravings I just wanted to eat a Big Mac so bad but you can't, it all goes away and the fat will start to full off fast!!! It's so worth it I'm one year out now

Yes I sure hope that is the case!!! There are some lovely people on her hopefully they check back in I wish all you newbies the best it's the best thing I ever did for myself

Hi everyone Nice to see the group moving again ????????????

Hi kiwi My reflux is totally gone it's like he cut that part out of me! I had it really bad and have not had it once since It's now been a year!!

Hi Lyn I have known a few people with lap bands they appear to fail over time and they regain the weight I think the sleeve is similar as I can eat double what I could a year ago and can gain if I have a big one still I don't have any advice on bypass sorry Hun I haven't been there I know the Americans are big on that procedure Good luck with what you decide ????

Hi brickett It's gone very quiet in here I don't know where everyone has gone! Welcome tho!! Have you got your doctor and health insurance sorted Hun?? You are making a great decision it's the best thing I ever did for me Bella

How is everyone ??

Hi there My advice is it hurts a little in recovery more just uncomfortable and you still have food cravings but you just can't eat it the 1st 4 weeks is hard because it's only Fluid your allowed to have so you might get hungry but you can't satisfy if fully But once you can start mushy foof things look up The best bit is the scale dropping super fast it makes it so worth it!!! I have lost 35kg in 6 months!!!! ????????????

How is everyone???

@@nerms Thanks Hun it's great but now I am stuck here!! Did you have your function yet?? I hope it went really well and your doing great!!! How is everyone else?? Xx

Omg 62kgs here haven't seen that in such a long time!!!!! Still working to get to goal Hope everyone is well ????????

Hi Hun nice to hear from you!! So sorry to hear your health has not been good I hope your well on the way to mending Hun It's been quiet without you and chez hope she is going well also I am doing really well Hun have lost 32kgs feeling so much better only 4kgs away from goal it's a lot slower going now ????

Hi Hun I choose to only tell my husband as the judgement about taking the easy way out I didn't want to hear it or be gossiped about so that was my choice When I eat I don't care what they notice because I just say I don't eat much these days hence the weightless My kids are young so I didn't have to tell them anything but if you don't want people to know I wouldn't tell the kids and if they notice your not eating or eating small amount just say it's a new diet your on lol

Wow well done Hun you have done so well!! ????????

Yes Hun it's very easy to put the weight on and yes it's all about what you put in your mouth as I have not worked out for 2 weeks and I have still lost weight!! It's crazy! The sleeve is the best thing I have done for myself so thankful I can't eat much!! I read about the girls in the U.S. Saying they don't get hungry don't crave this or that or how they're tummy doesn't like this food or that food, my experience was not like that after the surgery and my stomach settled I was able to eat all the same foods and was hungry as normal only change is I can't put much in at one time!! Everyone's journey is different hope your appt goes well xx
