Attention ! Australian Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Woohoo! I am out of the 120's! As of today' date=' I am 118.8kg! I honestly can't remember when I was this weight. Spoke to my dietician today - she is stoked with my weight loss but a bit concerned about my low calorie count. But she had really reasonable suggestions on how to increase it - now I just have to give it a shot <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Hope everyone else is going well!! Aussiegirl, I am glad to hear you're doing better. Kelli - hope you're feeling better and that the weight starts to move. Cheers, Lila[/quote']

Hi Lila - sorry for the delayed response! What a huge achievement! I remember each 10kg I clicked down and it was such a thrill - now the kilos are trickling off but I am so near to goal I am still really happy. Keep up the good work - have you managed to increase you calories - have you noticed if it has impacted your weight loss?

All jokes aside, that's awesome.

Obviously you feel that good about yourself it wouldn't have phased you if he wasn't interested - which is cool.

Aussiegirl you are awesome. Good luck with the neighbour and if he's not your type think of it as good dating practise. It's a win/win situation either way:)

I had a terrible morning, didn't get to work today. Has nausea and felt generally yuk. Spent most of the morning in bed and felt so much better by mid afternoon. The one positive is my diarrhea was minimal today compared to how it has been. Hopefully that's the turning point.

I met my husband when we lived in the same apartment complex and moved in with him 5 weeks later. We've been together 21 years, married for 18! It can happen!

Hey Kelli - I was engaged to my husband after 6 weeks - 20 years married last August! But hey Aussie Girl I wouldn't advise engagement after 6 weeks to anyone - a bit like telling some they should get sleeved!! - best left to the individual to make such a life changing decision!! :-)

Deano, hahahahahaha i didnt mean go any further that way, like i wasnt going to ask him to coffee in front of either my mother or best friend as I would never hear the end of it.

Sue/Kelli, woww that is quick. I am thinking nowadays that it will happen like that for me. I am old enough to know and recognise what I want and need...your stories sound romantic :)

SwiftKate, just a question (sorry if it is personal) but there is no chance that you could be pregnant is there? The nause doesnt sound good. I am just asking cause sometimes we blame the sleeve for other reason we get sick. But I do hope it gets better.

I will you know whether anything progresses with the neighbour, tho broken ankle and all so far I have one maybe two date this weekend...I am trying all the frogs out lol.....and Deano before you go there, I am not actually trying them all out....just meeting and having a drink lol

Oh Aussiegirl you have made my day! That was not too personal, I'm even quite flattered. No I'm not pregnant...thank God. Although I loved it when I was 25 years ago. No I'm 52, with two adult children and not married...I'd have some explaining to do!!! I do have a partner who is ten years older but the shop is shut for more babies for both of us. Actually after my crappy day yesterday I have woken up feeling really good this morning. I think my big rest helped yesterday, I am taking it as a warning not to overdo things. I have probably been doing too much in the last week and needed a day of complete rest.

I love the test driving analogy to dating. Looking forward to some great stories about 'car shopping'.

WOO HOO aussiegirl. You go girl ! I have never hoped to get stuck in a lift, but I wish for your sake you 2 do. ha ha

Swift Kate, some days I have neausea, and I find Ribena juice helps. I dont know why, but it works for me. Also my sister had it in pregnancy as it settled her tummy. Give it a go.

Take care.

Managed to get into work to do some prep work until midday. No nausea today and no diarrhea. I swear once I put it out there and asked for advice it started to improve!!!! Thanks Mel I'll keep the Ribena juice in mind if I get it again.

      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.
