  1. I’m scheduled for 4th June and can’t wait! I am not sharing with friends or family that I’m having the procedure. My husband knows and that’s about it. I’ve had a few procedures over the last year, so am hoping people will assume the weight loss is part of all the changes I’ve been making for better health. I have quit smoking and have been opting out of morning tea cake by using the non smoking as the reason. You know, don’t want to swap cigarettes for cake/cookies. I’ve also bought some larger size clothes to get people use to seeing me in baggy clothes. By the time I’m back to my ideal body shape, no one will really notice it was quick
  2. Thanks for the tip Taoz didn’t think of that! I’ll check.
  3. Hello I’m yet to have my procedure, but I think you are being hard on yourself. Your current weight loss is approx 3kg a week, that is a lot. Maybe stay off the scales for a few weeks and focus on how your pants feel. Is it possible to try a different nutritionist? Mine has suggested getting protein powder with no flavour and adding it to peppermint tea, maybe that might be an option for you. I have also ordered protein jelly in preparation. My procedure is booked for the 4/6, and I’m upping all my vitamins between now and then to get in the habit of taking them every day. Good luck and I wish you every success
