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
