I can't believe it's been almost 9 months since this life changing event for me! It wasn't until I put these photos beside each other that I realised just how do different I look.
HW - 140kg or 310lbs
SW - 132.5kg or 291lbs
CW - 84kg or 185lbs
Surgery Date - 7 June 2016
I've dropped 10 dress sizes and lost 54kg or 120lbs and am now wearing and Australian size 12 top and bottom. I've never been a size 12 in my entire adult life
After having a pretty shit year last year, I'm so glad I did this
I can pretty much eat anything now, just obviously in much smaller quantities.

How you feel post op depends on you, your surgeon and just general luck. I was really lucky and had no complications [emoji4] I did the liquid diet for 2 weeks, then puréed for 2 weeks and was then cleared for regular food.< br>
When I first woke up I felt pretty ordinary and they wouldn't let me drink anything. I also vomited a couple of times, which was a little scary. But I figured out it was the anti-nausea meds that were causing it, weird I know.

My right side incision and whole right side were pretty sore for about 2 weeks and I took lots of naps. But after about 2.5 weeks I felt pretty good. Being around people who are eating is weird when you're on the liquid post op diet. You don't realise how social eating is until you can't. Even though it was hard I used to try and go and sit with my family at meal times.

Then the challenge is figuring out what full feels like, I get the hiccups and feel a little gross. I know it's time to stop then. Since the surgery I've vomited once from over eating and I got the warning signs and ignored them.

The best advice I can give is, figure out what full feels like and stop when you get there and take the pain meds during the first week post op. Good luck guys, you won't regret it! I've found the benefits far outweigh the risks and the things you give up. It just becomes your new normal [emoji4]

I was sleeved 7 June 16. Starting weight was 140kg or 310lbs, current weight is 86kg or 190lbs.
I was worried about loose skin as well and I defs see a Tummy Tuck and breast lift or augmentation in my future. But when you drop 10 dress sizes to a size you never remember being as an adult you stop worrying about it so much lol
I'm lucky with regard to my arms, I notice the loose skin but no one else seems too and I'm still comfortable wearing short sleeves.
Loose skin or not this was defs the best decision I've ever made for myself and I feel amazing I'm now able to play competitive sport again and kill it at the gym. I'm also able to shop for clothes anywhere I want and they're not super expensive.
All the benefits far out weigh the loose skin and exercising will help a little if you set up a routine and stick to it as soon as you're cleared by your surgeon. Hope this helps

I completely changed my relationship with food and I mean completely. I now eat a high Protein, low carb, low sugar diet. I rarely eat take away and never eat complex carbs, just real ones. I'm not a huge fan of Protein shakes so the only supplement I use is Protein powder in Protein balls I make myself and eat for Breakfast. All my other protein comes from food. cheese, beef Jerky, salami, beef, chicken, yoghurt, milk (usually with coffee). And I usually eat 70-90 grams of protein a day.
I still track everything I eat, even if it's not such a good choice. Which I think keeps me accountable. I also joined a gym about 2 months ago and go 3 times a week and play sport 1-2 a week.
On the days I don't really feel like eating I make myself and on the days I feel like eating everything I try to exercise self control.

Thanks [emoji4] I used a Vitamin e moisturiser early on and have been lifting weights to target them, I got some cheap personal training sessions and told her I wanted to target them so she wrote me a program. I play netball, just for fun and exercise not super serious or anything.

Thanks guys [emoji4] The support from this community is incredible ❤️
