Hi All,

So I held strong today! Lol I am now on day 5 of Pre op diet and went to the movies with hubby. He loves movie popcorn and he was going to pass for my sake but I convinced him I was fine for him to have it (he has been incredibly good about the diet and eating healthy with me - I'm so lucky!) anyway, while waiting to go up to the cinema I was looking at all the movie treats and my mind wondered to all the things I would normally get when at the movies - m&m's, choc top and a coke. Of course this makes u kinda want it lol anyway I held off and as we walked up the flight of stairs, then to our seats, I was totally puffed and out of breathe in that moment I knew I was making the right choice getting the sleeve! I don't want to be puffing up stairs any longer! I sipped on my Water and felt good about it! Xo

You are so brave! The pre-op was the most difficult faze for me but I was determined to continue doing things I would normally do - can you believe I even went out for dinner with girlfriends! I had only green salad and no dressing but like you I had my eye on the BIG prize!! Now 43kg lighter and a size 12-14 on top and 8-10 on the bottom I am so darn happy!!! All the best for the next few weeks - those Snacks will mean nothing to you the next time you are at the movies post-op :-)!

Good luck with the presentation misty' date=' and I'm glad you're feeling better.

I'm so happy ATM. I have finally broken the dreadful 8 week stall. Jumped on the scales and bang 2kg gone! Thank goodness because I was starting to get worried that it was the end of my journey. I never gave up though. I am still going to the gym and eating right.[/quote']

Great news K8ee! Get ready for the ride down!

Thank you! It's been tough at times - like today we went bowling for my hubby's bday and we ordered a platter of deep fried Snacks for our group of friends - I just didn't look in that direction lol I didn't want anyone else to miss out just because I'm not eating so I just drank Water and had brought celery sticks along in case I felt left out but I didn't. I can't wait to see the big changes this will bring! Ps u have done an amazing job! I prob need to lose 60kg but small steps in the right direction is what it's all about!

I can't wait to not get so puffed all the time! I'm looking forward to increasing my fitness as the weight comes off! Stairs won't be my enemy anymore lol

Can anyone tell me if they have been sleeved by Dr Phil Lockie from QLD. It looks like the wait in Sydney might be a little longer than we wanted to wait so looking at an alternative in QLD. If you used Dr Lockie can you give us some feedback please.

My surgery has been moved to the 1st of October now so little longer to wait but still excited at the prospect of what is to come!

[kelliv 659]

I am waiting at Holy Spirit Hospital Chermside for my friend who has gone into surgery to have a sleeve done. I hope all goes smoothly as I feel a bit responsible for inspiring her to make this decision. I can't wait to see her changing. She started at about 130kg and lost 5kg during opti pre op phase.
