I jumped on the scales today and I wanted to see how much damage I'd done over the Christmas period. Thank god, I didn't go backwards and I can actually report a weight loss bringing my total to 45.4 kgs which equals 100 pounds. 100 pounds gone for EVER! I've never lost this much weight in my life! I love my sleeve!

Sorry to hear about your husband's work situation. I don't really understand the US medical insurance system but the thought of losing your job and insurance and the same time sounds very overwhelming. Sending you best wishes.

How to track water intake?
BigAussieGirl replied to hanoon's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I use an app called H2OPal - it sends you reminders if you haven’t drunk enough. I find it helpful when I’m at work at forget to drink. -
My Dr said gum is fine once you are healed up. It’s not going to block anything and if swallowed stomach acid will dissolve it

How long do I have to wait for Caffeine???
BigAussieGirl replied to Frannt's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was allowed coffee straight away, I had one in hospital the day after surgery. Everyone's Doctor is different, I've read posts on here that some had to wait 6 months for a coffee. I'm glad I could have one straight away, I couldn't get through work without it! Probably best you check with your Doctor. Good luck -
4 months, 2 weeks out - and I'm convinced getting my sleeve is the best thing I've ever done in my life. I love my sleeve. Still a long way to go but I know I'll get to my goal. To date - 48.2 kg / 106 lbs gone for ever. I have a follow up appointment with my Doctor in 2 weeks and I'd love to be down another 2 kg by then. Take care August sleevers

Fasted Cardio? Does it actually work
BigAussieGirl replied to Rose400491's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I've never read any research on this - all I can report is my personal experience. If I don't eat before going to the gym in the morning I can't perform at my normal levels, I have no energy. I need to have some yogurt or a banana before going to the gym. I'm interested in seeing the feedback on your question. -
Gastric Sleeve or Gastric Bypass — What and Why did you choose?
BigAussieGirl replied to Katbad's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I got the sleeve. I didn't want a bypass as I didn't want my intestines messed with as it can effect medication absorption. This was a major thing for me. I'm 4.5 months post op and lost 48 kg / 106 pounds. Getting sleeved was the best decision I've made in my life. At the end of the day you need to make a decision you are comfortable with and happy to live with. Best wishes for your weight loss journey -

Have a lengthy discussion with your haemotolgist before making a decision

4.5 months out - biggest problem is not drinking within 30 min before/after a meal. Still haven't got that down right.

Love my electronic scales, my measuring cups, and my tiny plastic containers for storing food. I really want to get a spiraliser, that's next on the list -
