hey guys im doing a youtube blog,, please check me out and subscribe,, i think its a great way to keep up to date with each other and inspire each other http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCttJduDYJCvcLNYh0tyXAIg?feature=mhee

take a spare pillow to help you sit up,, and also to put next to your belly while you sleep,, it helped me sleep on my side,, otherwise i wouldnt have gotten any sleep :/ i love this group,, well i am16 days out and i go back to work on monday,, kinda nervous to see how that effects my eating cuz ive kinda got it down pat now,, also everyone ive found these amazing books "simply to good to be true" they are recipe books written by a lady who lost 70kg in a year just by eating whats in these books,, the recipes are sooo yummy and soo easy to cook,, each recipe even has the calorie and protien and carb intake chart down the bottom of each recipe

i was also banded on the 4th im down 7kg since surgury,, im in mushies thank god not so hungry thank goodness,, been walking on my elliptical for 45min a day,, im aiming for 1000 calories a day according to myfitnesspal ill be down 17kg in 5 weeks

what does that = too in aussie sizes???

hey,, good luck with your surgury nah i didnt have to do preop diet,, i was already dieting before i went for my first app so my liver had already shunk, yea i stayed over night,, i slept till about 12pm and then couldnt slee again till about 530 just cuz i had hospital beds :/

lol hopefully not before i get my fill in two weeks

my dr said i can have mushies im finding im not real hungry tho cuz ive been dieting for so long ,,,

hey every one the last week i didnt loose anything from ive been reading im eating way under my calorie intake, but im having trouble getting my calorie in take up,, any suggestions

yea i think most DR are a little different but follow the same kinda guidelines,, my dr said 2 weeks liquid 2 weeks mushy then move onto solids,, but i think u just need to keep in contact with them about how hungry you are and how your feeling, liquids and mushy foods are just cuz the swelling is going down and to get us used the the feeling of our bands, good luck for your op,, it really isnt as scary as we think plus make surr you have all your liquids n stuff ready for when you get home and a heat pack

yea a little bit,, but only really if i drink to fast or if i sit around for too long,, i started walking on one week post op which helped alot with the gas,,, im feeling pretty much back to normal now, which makes it a little hard cuz i have to keep reminding myself to drink slowly lol ,, its real uncomfy if i drink too fast

i had surgury 2 weeks tomorrow,, rang my doc this morning cuz i was getting really really hungry and he said i was fine to move to mushies,, so i can have anything i can mush with a fork,, its really weird i feel more alert mentally but im still physiclly tired its really annoying,, like i have eneregy but i feel in my chest like i keep needing to yawn,, not sure if its my body or my high anxiety :/ either way its annoying

thank god for mushie stage,,, now just to make sure i only eat 1/2 a cup

oooo sounds yummy i will give that a go,, one nore day till mushys woohoo

wow thanks,, that was really really informative,, once im healed and restricted would 2kg a week be realistic for the first few months ??

ok so im back on track now with liquids,, but my MYFITNESSPALL app is telling me im having to under the calories i should,, will this slow down my weight loss ?

hey everyone,, everyone was so helpful in rebooting my motivation to stay on liquids,, but now i have the issue that according to my "fitnesspal" im having way under the calorie intake im suppose ,, will this slow my weight loss down ?? also at 130kg is it safe for me to start C25K

11 days post and down 7kg so 12kg all up,, thru on some clothes this morning actuallu could see a difference, soo excited my nsv excites me more then the scale one i think :)plus i have sooo much energy today its awesomw

wow i really didnt even think of it that way,,, i was just thinking i was sooo hungry,, but your right i need to follow the instructions cuz doing it my way got me here,, crap cant believe i was so quick to slio back into old thought patterns,, a little scary :/ so glad to havw this community to keep me on track,, maybe im not getting enough protien in ?? would that be why im so hungry ?? its not a head hunger its a "my tummy is grumbling and whinging at me" hungry,, any suggestions on how i can stick to the rules but kinda satisfy that as well ?

im just really really hungry and starting to crave meat soooo bad,, im doing three protein shakes a day plus a multivitamin,, plus chicken and vegie soup of dinner,, so plenty of food and protein,, but still soo hungry and cravings are hell :/

will i do serious damage if i move to the mushy stage too soon ??

the pulling feeling isnt doing damage,, its just your body adjusting , we just have to remember to take it EASY lol as much as we feel pretty much back to normal our bodys are still HEAL INTERNALLY and adjusting to pretty much a unknown object,,, ive been able to manage ny shoulder pain with just iburofen ,,, also i know it hurts but do arm stretches it helps move the gas and helps a bit

onw week post op still have gas n shoulder pain amd in starting to feel my port pull when i move :/ all normal but super uncomfy

ive lost 5kg since surgury,,, 11lbs and ten kg in total so 22 lbs one week twos and still shoulder pain n gas

sooo today is my first saturday being out of bed / post op comma ,,, and my house mates have a few friends around having drinks in the shed and the all decided to get pizza : / and my favourite drink rummmmm EEEKKK so much temptation ,,, i knew that weekends would be hard as most of my friends head out clubbing and to partys on the weekends as do I ,, but not drinking alcohol is just al adjustment ill have to get used to ,, not just cuz the soft drink in the drinks will make me burp which is a little uncomfortable,, but also cuz there is soooo many calories in those drinks that its really NOT WORTH IT,, so yea just thought i would give you all a quick update,, get that off my chest as it is going to be one of those hurdles ill have to get through,, hope you all have a lovely weekend
