Sheez we get ripped off down here in Australia... $67 - $127 on Amazon Aust for the same thing, AND it has the US plug, not converted for Australian power. No Chaffles for me!!

Looking wonderful KaysMommy... I think you look thinner than before the lock down.. how did you manage that!! lol

Yay!!! She's back Welcome back, we've all missed you!! Love all your new outfits, the green dress though.... ummm yeah Hello.. how you doin? Hahaha... It is a very elegant dress actually, I hope you get to wear it somewhere wonderful soon.

Ohhh Yummm!!! beautiful job Sophie... Hope the storm wasn't damaging for you guys!! If/When it finally cools down a bit here in Brisbane will be making this soup... love all the ingredients!

Holy Jeebus... you look like the (smokin hot) son of the guy in the before pics Amazing job!!!

Awesome job!!! Well done

Holy Cow!! you do look amazing Well done and keep up the great work!! ps.. I also love that Top Gun T-shirt

Everyone looks great as ever, even in lock down you're a stylish bunch *sigh* plenty of time off right now... but no elective surgeries being performed here in Australia, so I am still on the wait... Has anyone heard from ms.sss?

Congrats Mikey, you've done very well indeed.

Gorgeous dress, fits you like a very sexy glove!!! Lol

Haha so funny... I was thinking when scrolling through Sophie's post "Geez that guy looks like Jake from on here" lol haha... What fun that you guys had breakfast... as ms.sss said... total Win Sophie!!!! If you had Bobby with you we could say.. you got all the hot guys!!

Amazing! you look gorgeous and whilst you looked happy before you really sparkle now!!

Freaky feeling I am sure! You are so tiny!!! But sounds like you have a good handle on it...🤗 Bet you those chicks were too busy being self conscious about how they looked to even think about anyone else in the room... those types rarely think beyond themselves lol

Congrats Jake, you're a freakin inspiration!!!

You look amazing Sophie! Love all the outfits, these are my faves though Bobby <3<3<3

Due to a weird set of circumstances I have moved back to my home city (Brisbane, Australia) and am about to start a new job on Monday. As a result my Sleeve surgery is currently on hold until such time as I build up some personal leave from this new company to be able to take 2 weeks off to recover from the surgery. I also have a big final professional exam coming up in the middle of the year so really need to focus on that as well... so no WLS for me until July earliest. In the mean time I am going to go on the Diet Doctor program, I did the 2 week challenge a year or so ago and did lose about 5 kg in the 2 weeks.. that's about 11 pounds, Hubster also likes the food and lifestyle and it works for him as well (he also needs to lose about 30kg/66 pounds) For both of us the biggest issue we have is alcohol (Aussies drink like fish haha) so that needs to be curtailed and we both do really well on Keto or very low carb finding hunger is really not an issue after the first few days and keeping to it is pretty simple as you make 2 x every dinner the other half of which becomes lunch the next day, I also really like this kind of food myself. The program is here if anyone is interested... https://www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/get-started As I am interstate on induction and training next week we are actually going to start it on the 12 (program starts on a Sunday). Has anyone else been on this program and had success with it? Anyone want to join in starting 12th Jan?

Amazing Sophie you look incredible... your surgeon did an amazing job... ....those boobs though AwwwwwwSum!!!

I got 4 tops/blouses from Shein too this week... wasn't really happy with any of them tbh. Sizing inconsistent, thin cheap fabric on 2 of them. Thick stiff fabric on two others. One very gappy over my large bosom, and would be very low cut/ exposing without pinning or sewing it up.....another the buttons have fabric fastening loops which leave a vertical strip of no fabric and bare skin, definately not as pictured, nor work appropriate. Weird ... still worked out at $15Aud each top.. so it was worth trying, but only 1 is wearable for me.

Congratulations!!!

Hot dang girl... you really look very much like an awesome woman! The belly is fine and boobs look magnificent. The important thing is how does it make *you* feel? If the meeting is super important and you are uncomfortable for any reason that is not ideal, so evaluate on your own feelings. I think you look gorgeous and nothing less than stellar, you are a very hard judge on yourself!

Hey @Arabesque Thanks for stopping by my thread! Yeah it's going well so far, but this weekend is going to be pretty big with a few events to go to over the long weekend... will try to behave, but will probs put some of the weight back on.. >.< I wish I would have one or two glasses of wine at night after work haha.. if so it wouldn't be a problem lol

Hard to resist the siren call of the vegemite sanga... But just get back on the right path and quit beating yourself up about one sandwich 4 weeks is a very long pre-surgery liquid diet phase, I would clarify with them if it is 4 weeks PRE surgery, it might be 4 weeks of liquids in total before and after surgery... just check.

What a horrific thing to happen, you have my deepest condolences. There are no words.

Oh my gosh they are adorable!!! 😍 Thank you for sharing your lovely fur baby pics, they look very intelligent and personality filled but fun, which is just how we like our furry friends, our JRT was such a wonderful character, she was the doggie love of my life. The new one will have big paws to fill! Back to your surgery... lol I hope today has been a good recovery day for you Sophie and that you are feeling good.

Just an update, been doing the diet doctor plan (more or less, somethings I don't like) combined with 16/8 Intermittent fasting (don't eat breakfast and have lunch around 12.30 - 1 or later some days. Still drinking a lot of wine (new job very stressful!!) which is something I am going to have to address, it's hard as both hubby and I love drinking and chatting after work. Going quite well with it, I find low carb doesn't make me cravey or hungry so it usually works. Have lost 3.9kg which is approx 8.6lbs (probably mostly water weight I know, but I'll take it!) For lunch today (day off) I didn't follow the plan, just had a home made sushi bowl with hot smoked salmon and cauli rice... should have gotten an after photo as I didn't eat it all. Tonight is meant to be Pizza omlette, but we don't want that, so we are going to have chicken skillet with mushrooms... sounds really good, I might post a photo if I remember lol
