New&Improved

I'm 145kg male 35 this year need to get under 100 but my goal is around 85kgs

Doesn't really apply to most of us he was 600lbs OVERWEIGHT

Yes very pretty

You got long road to go on yet just take it week by week stay on track

Yes as above you sleep in those 12 hours, but also I've had to fast before even for some blood tests. Just drink water

It was just an example I'll obviously drink a bit at a time and I'm yet to have surgery just showing that a blender is a great idea

Just got a real good high speed blender 3hp. Has pulse and blend settings from 1-10. putin 20oz soy milk, 4 medium Bananas, 3 servings of protein powder, half a dozen small ice cubes and blitzed it all up in about one minute high speed it was completely liquid milkshake. Beautiful. Will come in handy for when I do have operation and have to live off liquids can blend all kinds of fruit and vegetables

Just bought a real good quality blender so when I do have to live off liquids or mush I can make soups and shakes out of all good fruit and vegetables plus protein powder easily mixed in

How far a long now and how many lbs down

Yeah I found one surgeon who does the DS or the revised BPD DS and that was 500 miles away. He said that is reserved for the Super morbidly OBESE or people who failed with previous surgerys. So yeah not very common anymore very severe malabsorption issues

I've been reading and researching all different surgeons and the different surgery's available plus reading numerous pages on this website before I even start the process but I've spoken to 2 of the top surgeons in my state in Australia and it seems all they require is 2 or 3 consultations and maybe a dietitian appointment but it doesn't sound like there's any mandatory people to see, also I prefer to do my own research than paying for nutritionist or dietitian or any psychologists to try control my decision. The only prerequisite in Australia is that we wait out the initial 12 months membership before they will pay for the surgery but even then I'll still be out of pocket about 4K for the gap. I've been told I'll have to do a 2-3wk liquid protein diet before surgery and possibly monthly check ups pre-surgery but seems like they allow us to take charge of our destiny. In my state there's only actually 4or5 actual surgeons to work with anyway and I've chosen the one that chooses not to charge for all the "added extras" and basically leaves that up to the individual if they want to see psychologist or any dietitian once they have surgery because that will be out of pocket for me anyway because I ONLY got the insurance for the surgery because in Australia we have public Medicare which covers general doctors and medical issues like I've never paid to see a GP in my life So yeah I'll be trawling this website religiously whilst I wait out the months needed to get the surgery! i think I've narrowed it down to 2 local surgeons and I'll have to make an appointment soon to see exactly what they have to say

Consider yourself lucky. While you're not hungry you can lose most weight just make sure you get your protein and water and you're fine

Very very common

Keep your eye out for better protein. I've found proper whey protein isolate 24.5g protein per serve

Curvy

My BMI is between 42-43.5 but still want to get rid of at least 130-140lbs and change my metabolism and my life going forward. I'll be 35 this year.

You have weight to lose

Love the curves

200lbs in 8 months amazing!! Getting a real nice body happening

Yeah tracked my favourite history back to the 1700s in England and Scotland

There are plenty of alternative meds it's only affecting some SLOW/QUICK RELEASE Medication... I take 9000g of potassium everyday for my life and I've found an alternative just by speaking to local pharmacist!! If you're having surgery you only want to do it once and do it right! If you read you will see so so many ppl being made to go from sleeve to bypass!!

Chinese is full of MSG carbs salt sugar rice lol

Reflux and sleeve? Bad combo

Sent you a PM

wow I'm curious how long did it take to lose 167lbs? Well done!
