Very good sounds like you have done very well.
I had mine with Dr Geoffrey Draper at Mornington on May 4th this year.
Was 120kg and am now 87kg and feeling very good.
Went through a rough time first couple of weeks but only gets better after that.

Wow congrats Bec! U look amazing. You should feel very proud of yourself!!

Hi all, hope everyone is well.
I was having a lot of trouble with Water after the surgery, it jut tasted foul, like chlorine and dirt or someone's sweaty swimming pool!
Well I have finally found the solution. I have to buy bottle natural spring water then filter it through my Brita filter and chill (colder the better) then and only then does it taste good and I can manage it. Haha how ridiculous, I sound so stuck up to all those non sleevers!!

Hi all
Sorry again that I've been off the boards for a while. I can't get the app to work properly on my phone (probably me and not the app really - I have the silicon death at the moment) so I get the email alerts but can't respond. However I lost the bulk of my weight in the first 12 months, with the first 6 it was coming off like you wouldn't believe
I have about 5-8kg to go but I am not sweating it too much around the number. I am just pleased that I am in a healthy weight range - ish. lol. My BMI is 25-pooint-something which is as close to a healthy BMI as I've seen in almost 20 years, so I am going to call it
My biggest struggle continues to be exercising regularly. After my holidays its dropped right back off and as a consequence, I have been feeling sluggish and yuck. The scales also tell me that I have put on 400g but I am not sweating that too much as I know that can just be a bit of Fluid retention. But I will keep an eye on it.
I bought a puppy though last weekend. He is gorgeous, a Bison Frise - he is so small he looks like a toy But he is gorgeous and I love him. I will start to take him on little walks which I hope will help promote my health kick.
I have motivation to drop the last 8 kg though - have my follow up appointment with the surgeon on the 12th of March so wanna drop these last kg so I can go and say - this is what 100kg less looks like Vain I know but I really REALLY wanna do that!!!
Anyway, I had better get moving - just dropped in to say Hi
Cheers, Liss

I would love to have a look, I really do find it all very interesting, hope i can be part of the stats soon but only five weeks out there's not much data there. And I would love to use your spreadsheet for my self if that would be ok. I have been meaning to make one my self but just haven't gotten around to it.

Thank you all for your imput. You have all done wonderfully. And bec 99.5 wow you must of been stoked to crack the hundred i know i cant wait.
So from the figures everyone has given me the average monthly weight loss is a little over 5kgs. (this isnt exact because i dont know exactly how many weeks in each month and whether they were whole or partial months, lets just call this a roughly worked out guesstimation). 5 kgs a month seems like a great result to me, well done.
And might i say between the five of you, you have lost 163.5 kgs.. Now thats alot of weight, you guys a such wonderful inspiration!

Thank you to everyone for all the wonderful stories you share and for all the support you have given to me. I was having a tough time just after my surgery, even regretting it. But your kind words and advice helped.
I hope everyone's Christmas is filled with fun, laughter and joy.
Merry Christmas

Thank u everyone, I'm impressed with the support you all give to a complete stranger!!
I'm feeling a bit better today and tried to keep my mind a bit more occupied and I think that helps. My real problem now the pain has settled a little is what to drink everything really just sounds or tastes disgusting.
Sueoco you look fabulous! I haven't seen any before photos of you and I can say you look like you were never big in the first place. Just a beautiful healthy women! That give me hope!!
Cheers

Thank you sueoco. You've all had such great success. It makes me hopeful for myself. Seems I have a lot of reading to do on this post. cheers

Thank you so much Lissa_S. You described the things I'm feeling exactly, I'm glad that other felt the same things and it's not just me. Ahh getting excited now. Only three more sleeps!! I'm sure I will have lots of questions after the surgery!
