    HelmC2' date=' I don't see a Dietitian but I do know of a Bariatric Dietitian who does phone consultations, she is located in Qld, on the Gold Coast Ithink???? Some of the girls here already consult with her so they may be able to give you her contact details. Her name is Fiona Brown and she does seem to be 'on the ball'.

    If you choose to go to Fiona, feel free to tell her I gave you her name.

    Anyway, good luck with your pre op phase and finding a new Dietitian.

    May I ask who your Surgeon is, seems like his support is minimal which makes it difficult for you.

    We are all here to support you through this journey.

    Best Wishes

    Fiona does phone consults and operates out of Bundall on the Gold Coast. She is well worth a consult

    20kg is still a good loss and you do have 6 months until December so it would be great if you can get close to your goal.

    I think what Kelli suggested about seeing a dietician is a good start if you don't already. my recommended calorie intake by a bariatric dietician is 1200 calories per day but this is due to my 6 days of an intense exercise program and my metabolic rate is 1700+ calories. Maybe increase your exercise if you are lacking in this area and change things around otherwise your body gets immune to the routine...

    I had an awesome morning with my appointment with my Gold Coast dietician Fiona Brown who did a full body composition assessment - I only have 5% of body fat left to lose and 4.5kgs of muscle mass to build and then I'm in the perfect range..very healthy visceral abdominal fat and once I reach the above, I will be under my metabolic age :) Good days xx

    Hi Kell, lunch sounds great Friday, let me know where and when :)

    I am having a full body composition assessment done on Thursday where my muscle mass, fat, biometric age etc is all assessed and measured. Whole new experience and really looking forward to it..

    Anyway, my little bit of uncomfortableness is now with all the compliments. Was shopping today and it honestly got a bit difficult as seemed like each aisle I ran into someone I knew and some hasn't been for quite some time so they could not get over the new me and just kept up with the compliments and it got quite difficult with the attention, can't believe getting that attention makes it uncomfortable, who would have thought

    So I have uploaded a collage of some pics of my journey so far...so sad of where I was and still can't believe I let myself get that bad :( The pics in the black singlet are my most recent - the rest are along the way since July last year - 50kgs down

    Hi all my Sleevers friends

    Sorry I haven't dropped by for a while, have been launching our new business into Australia and NZ which has been full on, so with myself also working full-time, raising 4 children plus 1 new grandchild and fitting in my workouts 6 days per week, spare time is something I do not have. Whilst hubby is in Sydney today for our business, a great opportunity for me to catch up on our thread to see how everyone is going :)

    Our new business is offering healthy black coffee, latte, green tea, mocha and hot chocolate - all infused with Ganoderma Lucidum :) I would love to send you all some free samples and get your opinion. Send me your address via email or text to my mobile 0488136443 and I will put some in the mail to you all....

    Our website is http://www.ogpreneurs.organogold.com/r/AU/index.html if you want to check it out

    I don't like talking business on this site but as we are all on this journey to change our lives for the better and live a healthy and productive lifestyle, I would welcome you all to give my coffee a try, that's all....

    So I really hope everyone is doing well. I am nearly at my 12 months out (July 20, 2012) and I am down 50kgs, with about 7kgs to go to my goal. Life is awesome and every single day is a blessing to me :)

    Love to you all

    Shelley

    Totally agree with Kelli about the gurgling. Mine was in the beginning, I would hear all types of noises, now just the odd noise escapes but never been a problem in public and have never experienced reflux...in fact, I have had no issues at all and wouldn't hesitate in a heartbeat to do it all over again! My only regret is I didn't do it years ago. I am in a really good place in my life and I honestly could not find this place before my op which has allowed me a total change in mine and my families lifestyle.

    Kelli, so awesome seeing our BMI decreasing...I too am at 29 from 44 and tell my husband 'I LOVE BEING OVERWEIGHT' so we have this little joke between us, gotta laugh..

    Anyway just came back from Trade Secret after being able to just grab things at these type of stores now is great. I brought some more exercise gear which before my op would never have considered now it is the first area I look :)

    Looking forward to seeing you Monday for lunch xx
