23 kg today

Still doing the Optifast here, finding it ok to do but going out is hard.. birthdays, State of Origin tonight etc down 18.1kg in 4 weeks

7 days of Optifast feeling really good 10.2 kg down was hard not to go out for state of origin but the beer and bad food would have been too easy Mick

Had a challenge tonight, it was daughters 7 birthday day and she made pizza and had ice cream cake. When I said I couldn't have it as I was on a diet she cried so I caved 2 SMALL BITS of home made pizza and a teaspoon of ice cream cake.... Will se what happens tomorrow ... 9 kg down in 6 days

8kg down in 5 days very happy and still not hungry, missing some Proteins but, chicken, red meat etc. Found a great blender to have shakes with, rocket blender from Sam's Warehouse, same as bullet on Tv but only $30

You look 10 years younger, nice side effect well done sir.

Thanks again for all the info. Day three of the VLED (optifast) and I have lost 5.5 kg I sure most of the is in pee. Not too hungry just missing foods I like taste wise. I am only able to eat about 75% of what was recommended, too full other wise.

200kg

Hi Mick, I am 18 months out from surgery and have surpassed my surgeons goal. Have lost over 40kgs. And now have a normal BMI and my cholesterol and blood sugar are under control.The early days were a little tough but now I can eat anything I want, but limited quantities. My surgeon was Patrick Moore at Epworth Private and I would highly recommend him. I was out of pocket about $3,500 but I do have private health ins. Though bariatric surgery isn't covered. Good luck. Any more questions don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks Aussielady, a lot of info,to take in Mick

Hi all just reading the post, looking into sleeve after years of battling my weight... I was advised after seeing a specialist dietician that the time has come to look at other options and vgs would suit me best given age and weight... She has supplied a referral and I have started on the vled for now.... I am not in a health fund ( never get sick ) so will be interested to see the costs Cheers Mick
