Yay, I asked him about it last night and he apologised and told me he wanted us to be a couple and gave me a key to his place [emoji4] There are still actually good guys out there [emoji4]

I'm from Brisbane too, no way lol
This was honestly the best thing I've done for myself in years. I'm 31, 3.5 months post op and I've lost 33.5kg meaning I'm halfway to my goal Who's doing your surgery?

I woke up in recovery feeling like I'd been hit by a bus and I wasn't allowed to drink anything just suck on a wet face cloth and my mouth was so dry! They gave me anti-nausea meds which actually made me throw up, so that was a bit scary right after waking up and it took me 3 goes taking them to realise what was making me sick.
In hospital I really only used my pjs and sports bra, chap stick, pillow, a good book and my iPad. I had 2 morphine injections into the actual stomach when in hospital and was then on oral meds for a week, which were easy to swallow as it was only max 2 at a time.
It took me 2 weeks to be pain free and the hardest part about the first 2 weeks was adjusting to what I could eat and still sitting down with my family when they ate. You don't realise how much of a social activity eating is, until you're at a table and everyone else is eating and you're not. I also couldn't watch TV, too many food adds lol. The incision they used to remove my stomach remnant hurt the most and and I was really aware of it when I twisted, turned and bent over.
During the first 2.5 weeks, I had a 1.5-2 hour nap everyday, it's normal to feel crappy in the first 3 weeks, you're body is recovering from major surgery and then adjusting to your new stomach.
However all that aside, I'm now almost 3 months out, down 70lbs and everything was definitely worth it and then some! Would do it again in a heartbeat At 3 months out I can eat anything I want just in much smaller quantities, which is good. This surgery has completely and drastically transformed my relationship with food for the better.
I know it's scary but just try to take your recovery 1 day at a time, each day it gets a little easier

If someone told me, they were dating someone other than me regardless of what date number it was, i'd be outta there! Now, don't get me wrong I'm not saying don't date more than 1 person at a time, but heck don't tell them about it. How rude.
You inspired me @@SleeveSoon I deleted Tinder this morning

5 months and a few days now.... and still doing good.
Had a great vacation in France (Arcachon) and then Northern Ireland (Belfast) and Ireland (Dublin). It was great. Perfect weather for me running away from over crowded Barcelona and the heat. Did a lot of walking, hiking, etc. every day for an average of 65 miles per week. I had a couple of beers per day, and it was OK as long as I drank them slowly and at least 20 minutes before a meal. I did not really control my food (I can eat anything and that´s what vacation is about) but I did not put any weight back, I actually lost a few pounds. I am back to work and stick to my gym routine - Protein intake.
Hope you all are doing great!
Take care,
Mico

Glad to hear about this. I have no reservations about deleting my POF profile. Just got back from spending a Friday night with "teacher" and couldn't be happier. We are both older (over 50) and things have been going really well. Making plans for Saturday night.

I think I sent you the recipe in the first lot I sent out?

Down 70lbs in 3 months and loving it

I think I struggled to drink 600ml my first day post op and now I can do 2000ml a day easy. Just keep keeping on and you'll be amazed how quickly the time passes. This part is the hardest until you reach maintenance [emoji4]

Jobey, I can definitely relate to feeling hit by a bus. Sheesh. They hit me, did a u-turn and ran me down a second time. The first night was pretty rough but the pain meds helped. I'm home now and figuring out a routine. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm almost 3 months out and am down just over 70lbs

Hey Guys, just emailed everybody who asked for the Protein ball recipe, check your junk mail folders if you don't get it [emoji4]

Thank you!

I can't believe it's only been 3 months, I finally feel and look like a woman again [emoji4] and can now really see a difference    

I know, it's ridiculous!! Especially when you know there's no way you're going to eat it all. Now when I got out I either pick of everyone else's plate, depending who I'm with or add a side of something to another meal and eat that!

Getting used to eating out and being able to find something appropriate and Protein high on the menu and not paying out the butt for it!
