So tonight I put my chicken breast and veggies in a skillet with tex mex style spices and home made green tomato salsa, bit of guac and Greek yoghurt. 297 cals 740 cals for the day.

Oh wow 3 shakes a day... I would go crazy! 😅 You did well!! My Surgery is on the 16th of Jan, I am nervous, but looking forward to having a tool to help me lose this flub I have been lugging about for far too long!

Dinner.. fits all macros and requirements. lean Pork chop with mushrooms and steamed greens.. so good! Didn't finish it all, and practised eating really slowly! it was good! 891 cals for the day.

Hi Kim, welcome! 👋 How long do you have to be on the diet, and what does it require?

Rest up, recover, your poor body has been through a lot! Dory/🎵 Keep on sipping... keep on sipping🎵 I am sure you'll be feeling much better soon. 🤗

That's awesome, well done! Much easier to rest and get sleep at home! 👍 How are you feeling? Able to get your water and protein in?

You're lucky it's only a week long the pre Op! I have 2 weeks, but I have seen some here have had to do 12 weeks of it 😬

Day two, not loving the shakes for lunch and breakfast, currently using the "glow" shakes by Collegen co here in Australia they are not too sweet, but not like a whey based one, not really creamy, a bit sort of slimy.. but so far I am coping ok, at least I get to have a good low carb meal at night, tonight a chicken and vegetable stir fry, with cauliflower rice, it was gooood too. We got this January buddies!!

Looking forward to joining the ranks of the awesome, inspiring "losers" around here! 😂 🥳 Jan 1 2025 - Day 1 of Pre Op, surgery on the 16th! 😬😅

PreOp starts tomorrow 1st Jan for me, I hope I can cope, not really a fan of meal replacement shakes, but ready for this!! 😅

2024 was a very tough year for me and my family. Both my mother and husband Dx with Cancer. My poor darling Mum old lasted 21 days from Dx. I haven't really had a chance to deal with it, have been drinking a lot! Christmas hit hard. Fortunately Hubby is doing well, but Chemo has knocked him around, poor fellow. Last round this week, so fingers crossed it all goes well and he gets the all clear!! 2025 goals: Successfully get through PreOp (starts 1st tomorrow😬), Op (16th Jan) and Post without issue!! Finally lose the weight I have been carrying most of my adult life! Spend less money! Find some exercise I enjoy and do it regularly. Be more grateful and appreciative of all the good/great things I have in my life. Happy New Year everyone!!!

Only natural, but we will all be fine. 😊like many things in life, Thinking/stressing/worrying about it is much worse than the actual doing of it. I feel moments of concern, but trying to focus on the positives and how great being in control is going to be!

Wow, you are going through so much right now! I greatly admire your openess and your strength to be handling all of this with grace and good humour. My husband is also going through Chemo, Immunity shots, weekly blood tests, scans etc and it's been a very hard road since his diagnosis and surgery in March. I mention this just to let you know, that I know how hard it's been on him, but he didn't have the Bariatric surgery to deal with as well!! You're doing great, I wish you all the very best on this journey! 🤗

Stunning I love it! And yes, also very guilty of saving clothes, then never wearing them! I will have a bunch of unworn beauties to give to charity soon!!

I don't think it's done as an outpatient procedure here in Australia, at least I haven't heard of it. But.. everyone I know was up and about walking with in a few hours, so it does seem possible. 🤷‍♂️ I totally get the not wanting to wait till March. Having made the decision it's like.. Yeah bring it on!

I am in Australia, self funding. Already paid, so go to go!! 😃

I am in! Jan 16th! Starting pre Op New Years day. for once NY resolutions will actually mean something!! 🎉

Yep, also in this age group! I am getting sleeved on Jan 16! 🥳 It's been a long time coming with a few false starts, but great to get all the little duckies in a row! 😁 Just got to make it through Christmas, which is pretty boozy and lots of food here in Australia!! 🤪

Looking lovely Arabesque! so petite!! Hubba Hubba!! Dress Deffo a keeper!! Stunning!!

Thanks for the review Arabesque, I have the black bean version, but think I will give it a miss now! I agree Zucchini noodles are the best.

Happy belated birthday!!! 🎈

OMG.. I hadn't heard that one... lol

yuuuuuuuummm!!! Totally a bone gnawer as well, but only at home hahaha!
