Well it is 6 months since I had the op done and I am down just over 30kg almost 1/2 way to where I want to be. For all of you just starting out, you will not regret it one bit this is the best thing that I have ever done. I feel like I am now starting my life.

Good luck to all !!!!:blink::thumbup:

You have done so, so well! Congrats :thumbup:

I am just over 6 months out too and have lost just over 26kgs now, countless inches (at least 10 off both my waist and hips) and have gone from a size 24 to a size 18 (but even bought some size 16 clothes this weekend!).

Yay for us!

Hey Linny

Yes I feel fantastic. I went to Thialand a month ago and did not need the seat belt extention on the plane and that was a fantastic feeling. Also my hubby says he cannot believe the difference in me. I was climbing up and down stairs and getting into junkets in the middle of bangkok of which I would never have done in the past I feel fantastic and cannot wait to get another 30kg off.

Leah I agree Yay us I was a size 26 and struggling and am getting into a 20 or 18 now The difference if unbeleivble and this is the best thing I have ever done. My goal was to get into a size 18 that has now been revised to a 14 for now....

Yes, I'm 6months down the track now also and feel just wonderful. It was the best decision. Getting used to eating smaller amounts took a little while. I've lost 18kg and have gone from a 24 to an 18. I lose a little bit every week, even weeks when I have had too much ice cream.

Well.... I think you're all incredible and though, my mind hasn't caught up with my body and I still see me for how I was not what I am now... Hearing it from others is still and always will be inspirational.

Hi all out there, Does anyone else burp a lot in the night? I think I may be eating dinner too close to bedtime. Does anyone else get hungry at night and make the wrong choices? I'm terrible at night. I get into biscuits and ice cream. My husband keeps them in a separate fridge but I raid it.

I burp a lot in general. Though i've always been a bit of a windy sort of person.. I wasn't as bad as I am now. Which still isn't bad. I'm pretty sure wind was one of the things mentioned over a year ago before I had surgery...

      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.
