Hay Marion,

I thought you were going to sleep, Lady?? I have a Bracelet for my diabetes. Do they recommend you get one. Do you need it for Travel on airlines? I never thought of it. I will have a hunk of silicone in my belly. :scared2:They might think we have swollowed plastic explosives:lol: !!! They have the latest machines in Boston, as Logan is an International Airport, for security:ohmy: Wow!! Have you traveled by air since banding?

I Google Earth-ed Lake Macquarie, it came up with Mannering Park. WOW what a beautiful area you live at. Is the Lake fresh or salt Water? How big is the lake? Do you live on the water front? Is it heavily built up or remote? Nosey aren't I? It looks magnificent!!!! I'm fasinated with Australia. I'm a great armchair traveler:smile2:

Here are some piccy`s of Lake maquarie 5 mins drive from us we walk and ride there its a beutiful large lake ..

We live closer to the coast and have a view of the ocean (not Water front ) we live on a hill.. :)

I found Jewels!!! WOW. How many Kilometers away is the ocean? Absolutely Beautiful.:biggrin: We are about 30 Miles (35 minutes drive) to the Atlantic Ocean. New England is quite lovely with 6 very small States (9 hrs. north to south) and maybe (6 hrs. east to west) tiny compared to Australian states or provinces. New York is about a 4 hr. drive. We have 4 distinct seasons.

We are just coming into our summer months. Today was our 1st warm days (I don't knnow the temp conversion

80 F maybe 25-27 C??)

I had a follow-up with gastric surgeon today in Boston. He was happy with with my 15 lb. loss (7 kilos?) Much happier with my blood sugar improvement. It would be great to get off insulin eventually. June 15th is my last pre-op Visit and Testing. Can't tell I'm counting down the days:smile: ? I'm figuring out how much Protein Powder to order for shakes, Soups etc. enough for 2 week pre & 3 weeks post-op. Have great day!!

Hi Marion,

I can see your house from here!!!:o Google is soooo neat. I ordered a lot of Protein powders on line last night. I looked at a few places yesturday and they just didn't have much variety. I have enough stuff to hold me until my deliveries.

Yesturday we broke a heat record from 1888 with a temp of 96 F = 36 C. I almost fainted. We never get those temps here in New England. This morning it dropped to 55 F = 13 C. (I found a conversion site) Yaa! Us Yanks and Aussies speak the same language but, diverged with Money, Measurement, Area,

Temperatures and Weights.

We have a 3 day holiday this weekend. It's our Memorial Day we celibrate our lost service men and women with parades, barbies with friends and family. It's kind of the unofficial opening of Summer:cool2:!!

Over the weekend I found some good sites for medi alert bracelets and found a couple I liked. I'm just going to get a reasonably priced stainless steel Bracelet.

How's the weather down under Marion. The unusual heat wave finally broke over the weekend. Normal temps and sunny dry days, just refreshing clean blue skys.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
