Oh - I hit the 6th month post op mark a week ago.

Start weight 137.7 kgs

Current weight 94.7 kgs

Lost 43 kgs

My goal weight is 82kgs' date=' which is the top of my healthy weight range. The weight loss has slowed down considerably, but I'm happy just chipping away at it. To be honest I've come this far, if I have a week where I lose .5kg I'm happy.

Keep smiling,

Hi Dean, we assumed the job took precedence on Monday so don't worry. Congrats on your fantastic results. Can't wait to see you although I am not sure I will recognize you now!

No I'm going home in the morning so I should be right. I might just ask for an up and go or some milk for brekkie. I have lots of suitable things at home.

It's good you only needed two nights and no drains by the sound of it. You will sleep better in your own bed too.

Congratulations Misty, seems like you all over this 'sleeve stuff '.

Dean, amazing results !!!!!! I hope you're enjoying the new job. It's great to hear from you.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. My first 'solid food' today was a Protein Bar and it took me two attempts to eat it and I'm still not hungry. Such a different feeling to when I was on liquids and hungry all the time. Maybe I'll have time tomorrow to try a poached egg for Breakfast, don't think I can live on Protein Bars for the rest of my life.

I hope everyone is well.

Michele

I'm home. Did the dishes and went for a walk for 15 minutes. Now resting and having Water with cordial. I feel fine.

I found out today that the surgeon repaired my hernia at the same time as the sleeve. :)

You're killing this Misty!

Just finished with Dr Nolan. Ordered a blood test and gastroscopy (being thorough). Tentatively booked for July 5.

Feeling a little apprehensive again but really can't wait to get this underway. Decision is made now.

Blood sugar 4.9. That's a non-diabetic number, folks!

What a great NSV, before you've even left hospital!

Good to hear you're doing so well Michele. Job is great - I'm on a pretty steep technology learning curve!

Early on poached eggs didn't do it for me. Something about the texture of the white, they're fine now. At that early stage I'd gently scramble one egg so it wasn't dry and fine grate a bit of fresh parmesan for salt / flavour.

Thanks mate. Everybody wishes everybody luck (I do it too) but the reality is once you have this tool there is no luck. There's some hard work (a reasonable amount) and staying focused - but no luck required! ;)

As far as being an inspiration goes, if your numbers are similar to mine and looking at my results makes you know that this is really achievable - I think that's great.

All the best,

Deano

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
