I have purchased the sistema BPA free storage system today ( I got them from Waitrose in the uk as they are on offer - half price ) for my small meals after having the sleeve. I bought 3 x 2 pots of 5.7oz containers (great for fruit and greek yogurt) - pic here but I got the bigger sizes (but still tiddily lol) drinks you need to mix http://sistemaplastics.com/products/to-go/700ml-shaker-to-go And finally http://sistemaplastics.com/products/to-go/soup-and-noodle-2-pack They are great and perfect sizes !! Hope it might interest some - Kate

@@rp2907 Congratulations on reaching 'the other side'. Hope everything goes well for you and please let us know how you are doing over the next few weeks. Kate

@@pacshari That did puzzle me.... I sat wondering why the heck your neice had to carry you LOL. Thanks for the giggle

@@EnglishDan Wow .. wow - can I say WOW again!! Amazing result, I bet you are over the moon! Congratulations Kate

@@livvsmum As long as you feel good and healthy sod everyone else!! By the way, you look lovely - they are probably envious Kate

July 23rd for me.... Just back from holiday and work is manic so I have a feeling the time will fly. Kindest wishes to all ... whohooooooooooo bring it on!!! Kate

It seems quite normal to feel this way, from what others have said on the boards ... 10 days though!! Exciting times Best wishes for the days to fly by and please keep in touch and let us know how everything went xx Kate

Congratulations and please let us all know how you are once its all done .. sending hugs

Congratulations to all the July sleever's. I'm sure we will all be very supportive of each other :-) not long now !!!

Great news Kate

I'm 5 weeks away and very excitied. Just want it to be tomorrow but when it is, I am sure I will be nervous. I was hoping to drive to the hospital and be first on the list but found out today I am due to have the op in the afternoon. Ba humbug! Each day is a day we can learn more and I know everyone is different but its good to hear all the different thoughts and experiences in order to prepare ourselves. Kate

Congratulations on making the decision to have surgery. Has your husband been to any of your appointments or read any information here? Perhaps he could join to get support from the wonderful people here? KIindest wishes in your journey and please let us know how the surgery goes :-) Kate

Urgh... Maybe a once in a moon type of thing (I hope) I haven't been sleeved yet and it still sounds disgusting to me. Kate

Congratulations and 'soft' hugs sent. I bet you will feel amazing soon Keep us posted on how things are going please.. Kate

I have saved my size 22 shorts (and they were snug!) from my recent holiday. We got back today and closer to the deadline so very happy! Good luck and best wishes to all the planned sleevers Kate

@@chrisredjeep I have that blender too and it's excellent. Once I'm back from holiday I will start stocking up on things I will need post op. You will be in two days before I go in .... so not long now :-) Kate

@@EnglishDan - Congratulations and I am so happy you feel well !! Amazing weight loss in one week too. Make sure you rest enough when not working, you don't want to overdo it Kate

@C2CFOREVER I take Vitamin tablets daily and have done for the past year or so and the consultant was very happy with that. I know there is a vast difference in what others do before their op so I can only go off what I am told. I was advised to carry on taking them and then once post op to take liquid Vitamins for the first few weeks. I have ordered Centrum Advance Liquid, it's more expensive for the month than tablets (£20) but I guess I want to just make sure it goes down easily enough! Hope this helps. Kate

Such an inspiring journey over the past 2 1/2 years... Thank you for sharing !!! Have a wonderful time in our beautiful country. :D Kate

Have a wonderful time in our beautiful country and congratulations! Such an inspiring post !! Kate

@liannatx No gas pain.... sounds bliss !! @keddykat75 amazing that you were able to do that ! Kate

@@Veronica Page .. yes, must admit to not being someone who stays at home for long. I slipped 3 disc's in my neck in 2012 and only had 3 days off. Looking back I was silly and wouldn't be rushing back again. At least its lighter days/nights and my youngest son who's 17 will be at home (once school finishes). Thanks for the good luck ! Kate

I have a fairly stressful job although I am very laid back and look in control most of the time (Think duck gliding on top of the river all calm and serene but peddling like mad under the Water lol !!) I am hoping to go back after 2 weeks - How long did you stay off? I don't want to put more pressure on the team once schools finish for the summer etc (my 4 are all grown up) but I don't want to go back until I feel well enough too. Kate

@@dhrguru that's great ! I bet you both had a smile on your face during the bike ride. How about getting him to set goals along the way for you and that way he will be supportive and keep you on track. Bike ride now: 1 month: a new outfit for you and a treat for him. 2 months: a hike 3 months: go swimming 4 months: and so on How old is he? Kate
