Well done!!! That's so inspirational for me. I had my Omega loop (revision from band then sleeve) just over 2 weeks ago and have lost 6kgs.

So happy for you, thanks for updating us!

Any tips on eating/habits/learnings?

Eat from the food pyramid, eat often, eat small...I eat off an entrée size plate. A typical day for me is porridge, muesli or 2 weetbix, fruit at morning tea, ricecakes x 2 with ham cheese and Tomato, or baked Beans on ricecakes cakes, or tin of tuna on crackers, snack on more fruit or sakata crackers, or vita wheats x 2 with filly , apple, orange, dinner I have anything from fish and veg, salmon and salad, chicken and veg, turkey breast with melted cheese and ham with corn cob... i will make a salad with low fat feta, pumpkin pieces, pine nuts, red onion and beetroot. After dinner cut up fruit like rasberries, strawberries, blueberries, almonds x 6 and put into Greek yoghurt! Yum! I never get hungry....but keep fruit on me always. I do at least 2 aerobic step class per week and 2 full on work out days at the gym. I don't drink so alcohol is not a problem thank god. Haven't had soft drink for 6 months and coping well with just Water, tea and coffee....I will have lightly sparkling water but drink this over about 1 hrs so I don't get too gassy. I have had issues with Constipation and have to use laxettes c often, take benefibre and drink about 2ltrs water daily, so it's a pain...but other than that have been going great. Stay away from anything that has fat and sugar. Won't risk it....

by the way...dumping is no fun which is why I don't eat any foods with fat or sugar. I Try stay around 10g fat and 10g sugar on any nutrition panel per serving....had full cream latte with full sugar accidently msde for someone else, and was vomiting. Had overeating experience which was soosss painful had to lay down until is passed. It's not worth it. I was overweight most of my 20's and 30's and I love who iam now and it's only taken 6 months! I was insulin resistant and had the beginning of kidney and liver failure. My fasting insulin was 58! I was given 9 months to live so had to have this procedure and I guess now I have this second chance at life I am not going to abuse it. i want to share it with the world! I can control what I eat now and it's wonderful that I rule food and not the other way around. I know if I want to loose weight I have to eat and exercise, and the key is easy guys....If you can just understand.....eat from the food pyramid....All your grains, dairy, essential fats, etc are right there.....you burn calories just to stay alive so add this to your food intake and try and burn it off, you will guarantee loose weight and once you realise this forumula like I have, you are a true winner...i have a fitbit also in every colour and this matches with what ever outfit I wear. It keeps me motivated and if I can do over 10 thousand steps per day, I am happy with that . I can believe I am 39 and have only worked all this our now in life....I feel 29 now though and hubby loves the new me...YOU can do it. Just plan ahead with meals and I promise you will succeed
