Hi Im countrygirl

Ive was sleeved in Australia by Dr harrison on the 9th march this yearIm 8 weeks post op now YYYEEAAHHH!!!

Ive lost 14.4kg so far.Im going pretty good,i did have some sugar craings that i gave into last week but im back on track this week.

A bit about my stuggle-

been overweight since childhood,have tried every diet under the sun and have lost up to 30kg before,then regained it plus more.

I felt the sleeve was my last chance in losing weight and regaining my health back.

Anyway each week gets easier to adjust with the sleeve and it feels great to eat a small amount and be satisfied.

im going to have alook around at the site,bye for now

Congrats! I had to take a minute and use the comp to convert KG's to pounds but that is impressive! Glad you are doing well and having success!

For those of you who need it converted...14.4 kg is 31.75 pounds. YAY

congrats countrygirl! You're doing great....glad to hear you are back on track and aren't going to give in to those cravings anymore!!

Please keep us posted on your progress...and welcome to the boards!

Thanks mp8btpc for making the conversion....whew...all that kg stuff is too confusing for me!

oh sorry about the kgs i'll write in pound on here!

i think the hardest thing is the mental side of things,im an emotional eater so its a learning curb to re educate myself and deal with stresses in other ways.Im actually starting to enjoy eating little amounts and being satisfied. at first i did feel deprived but its getting easier as the weeks go by.im not the worlds most enthusiastic person in the area of exercise so im still gunna start doing some!!i'll get there eventually,the silly thing is when i actually do go for a walk i do enjoy it,i think its the actual thought of doing it??

oh yeah im going to ditch my size 22(australian) jeans,they are falling off me

yyyeeeaaaahhhh first achievement down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:001_unsure:
