Now THAT one deserves a punch to the junk.

I have to say that it's my opinion that you are totally overreacting on this one. I HIGHLY doubt anyone is stupid enough to think you are RESPONSIBLE for their weight gain. (Well, my husband might blame me a bit because after my three bite, I put my leftovers on his plate. HA!)
I think this is a way of complimenting YOU while putting themselves down. I can't imagine they think your fat particles are flying through the air and landing on them.

Great to hear your op went well Donna and how fantastic your weight loss has been. Well done!

Well done Donna. We all love our sleeves!! Keep us posted on your progress and I am sorry we won't get to meet you on the 5th on the Gold Coast

That's a great loss, Donna!

That is fantastic Donna!!! It's so good being on the losers bench!

Hi Everyone!
A little update on my progress so far! So I was finally sleeved a week ago today! 7 long months on a waiting list and my day came
This week has gone by so fast - thankfully as well because the first couple of days weren't pleasant at all lol
But today being one week out and three weeks since starting the pre op diet and I've lost 10.9kg! I knew because I was heavier I would have a big number in the first few weeks but never did I think it would be that high! I'm so pleased and yes I am missing actually chewing/eating good but hell I can get over that if my results are so good lol
Loving my sleeve already lol
I only a few months ago moved from the Gold Coast to Rockhampton - such a bummer as I would have loved to meet u all at the meet coming up! Hugs and hope u have a wonderful time!

Yay Donna!!! It's all better from here on!! You'll be rocking your sleeve in no time!!

Thank you all so much for your well wishes! I had a rough night last night to be honest but was just needing to get the pain and nausea under control and all was well. Though I had to fight to not use a pan to pee in! I couldn't do it lol so I just nagged at the male nurses (lucky me lol) to let me go to the bathroom and one finally caved!
So today I have been up and about and sipping Water and broth - slowly but surely.
Again thank you for all the support its so great to know people are thinking of you! Xo

I'm sorry family and friends are being less than supportive! It's hard when they try to talk you out of a decision that has not come lightly! Hold strong! You will do great and show them what this is all about! Becoming a healthier person! Good luck tomorrow!

Lissa VaVaVooooooom!!!!
Birdie, might be a bit of a delay but will come around soon enough We will all be waiting for your progress on the other side
Dons 2.0 way to keep strong, you are doing awesome, eating out was the hardest part when on the Opti.
An update from me, I am now 20 days post my plastics surgery. Things are finally starting to settle down and thought I would take some progress shots. Still have some Fluid accumulating under my right arms and my butt cheeks (not a place I was expecting, was expecting hips but not to get a weird looking bubble butt), the doctor will likely drain these or some of these when I see her for a progress update tomorrow.
Here are some progress photos:http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/gallery/image/23156-me-20-days-post/

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

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
