HA HA HA OMG I know exactly what you mean!!! I was folding washing the other day and just looked at some jeans that I had bought and thought.........surely not??? Soooo cool :-)

So I'm now 11 months out and have lost a total of 30kgs..........OMG amazing, would never have been able to do that without the sleeve. I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with hair loss. Mine has thinned out so much and I'm trying to figure out if I should start taking Biotin in conjunction with the normal vitamins. Any advice would be appreciated :-)

What about doing water walking at your local pool. Non weight bearing exercise and good resistance with the water?

I'm very happy that part of my stomach was cut out. I've lost weight, and I'm loads healthier and happier too. Why are you freaking out about it?

I am only three months out and have had the occasional glass of wine. Still losing and have not yet put on any weight. It's your birthday...........go out and have an awesome night!!!!

Plus the nurses at Lap Auckland where I had my surgery were also amazing. Got treated so well and would recommend them to everyone

Yes she was lovely, I've had no issues whatsoever so I think I have been really lucky. What kind of weight did you start out at?

I was sleeved on 24 Sep 2013 by Steph Ulmer and have lost about 15 kilos since I started the pre op diet. I'm pretty happy with this and have not really been doing much exercise so I guess it's ok? Started at 98 kilos and now down to 83 at nearly 3 months post op. How does this sound to everyone else? Would love to hear how everyone's rate of loss is going. Sometimes I feel like I haven't lost enough in that time but then I remember that there is now way I could have done this on my own and have never lost this amount of weight and kept it off............so that keeps me going

Oh my goodness, I am also from NZ and have been reading all of this with horror. What happened to everyone being here to support each other through shared experiences with WLS? It's not often that I say anything on this site but I am completely blown away at the moment I just had to comment!!!! As we say in good old NZ........CRIKEY!!!!

I'm doing my pre op diet now and haven't even lost that much weight. It's just 3 protein shakes a day and 2 cups of non starchy veggies. Plus water water water!!! Been doing it a week and have only lost about 2 kilos (4.4 pounds I think) that worries me a bit

They call it bikram yoga or hot yoga in NZ. I love it. Really hard but you feel amazing afterwards!!!

Sep 24 for me in NZ!!!
