Hi Jane, I was born in Bury St Edmonds but home was a little village called Woodham Walter in Essex near Chelmsford. My Aunty and Uncle still live there. Your daughters b/f is about 4.5 hours drive from me and I live in Geraldton so a small world :thumbup: As far as the eating goes I think after 15 months if I cant eat any more then the grandies now I dont think it is going to happen not that it worries me but is a topic of conversation at times :mad: Ruth

And here was me thinking that I was the only person who did this lol I hop on the scales every day and that is more to keep me in check with what I might eat as opposed to stressing out about what the scales say. I havent lost any more weight in the last 3 months and I think I will have to change my exercise routine to give the body a kick start to budge those kg's that I still want to loose. Ruth :thumbup:

Hi Jane, I am originally from England so being the pom is ok :001_tongue: My doctor said my stomach was the size of a banana though what size banana I haven't worked out yet lol To drink an Optifast which is 200mls would take me about 15 minutes I cant just drink it in one hit. I eat less then my 3 yr old granddaughter does so it does make you wonder how we survive on such a small amount. Ruth

Hi I had my sleeving done in June 2009 and have lost 60kgs and feel great :001_tongue: I still have a bit more to loose but if I dont loose any more weight I am happy with what I have achieved. What I would like to know is can the stomach pouch stretch ?? Also I have noticed that you guys talk about eating a certain amount by weight at each meal where as I was never told that but I can only eat a small bowl full anyway. Having the sleeving done in Australia is realativly uncommon and so I only know 2 ppl who have had it done and one of them I chat to through the internet so I feel like a lemon on an orange tree and haven't been able to compare notes with anyone so I am glad I have found this site Ruth
