And I'm happy to come to Willy too if that's what you'd prefer. It's a pretty easy trip straight down the freeway.

I can do Thursday too though, will just have a 3 year old in tow.

Wednesday sounds great :) If Prahran or South Yarra is closer for you ladies, that's fine with me? I'm easy lol...

Wednesday's great. Is there anywhere for coffee near the Water in Williamstown? That might be nice if its warm. Otherwise, yes Prahran would be a bit closer for me, but I really dont mind.

Gosh, I'm over the 40 degree days at the moment.

*nods* Rotunda is great, as is Sirens on the deck, for the views :) They do a nice salad or anykind of seafood there too.

The current forecast for Wednesday is 28 (nice!!), rain in the afternoon .. but that shouldn't effect us.

Jacqui, are you familiar with Williamstown at all? Rotunda and Siren's are both right beside the Willie public beach.

My mobile number is 0407 043 863, incase anyone gets lost or can't make it or whatever. I'll be outside near Sirens at say, 12ish?

And if ya'll know anyone from other message boards that want to join us, the more the merrier :)

Yep, my SIL lives in Newport so I know Williamstown enough to get there and find the place. I think it would be nice over near the Water and a bit quieter than SY or Prahran.

See you there!

Hi to all,

I live in Melbourne and am new to this site (I just registered today). I am absolutely thrilled at the idea of catching up with other people in Melbourne who have had the band. I had my band at The Avenue Hospital in May, 2004. I have lost 55kg, but at least another 15 to go (If I am aiming at 70kg... sometimes I dream of being lower than that.. but heck, at the moment I would be glad to be below 80kgs (that was my goal by my 2 year mark, but at the moment I have stagnated and it appears a bit unrealistic).

I can't make it to a lunchtime activity because I have to work :( ... But please keep me in mind if you plan something in future - maybe I would be able to take some flex time.. or maybe outside normal working hours?? (although I know this would be difficult for those who have kids).

Anyway, I just wanted to introduce myself briefly and say that I am very excited to have discovered the site!!

Cheers,

Kaysha.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
