After lurking around this place I thought it was proper to start an acount thus here I am. I am 10 days post opt and feeling okay for the most part. Emotionally drained and still a bit of pain at the top of my stomach but other than that doing well. I had my surgery in Sydney Australia..which is where I live..by a lovely French Doctor whose main practice is in QLD. Since my two week preopt diet I have lost about 16 kgs (35lbs) to date. :faint:

I will let you knwo of my progress as I go along.

Cheers

Jess

Hi there Jess!

fancy seeing you here sam

haa haa :confused:

Congratulations Jess

hiya! Nice to meet you! I was banded on wednesday so i'm also pretty new too! :confused: I wish you the best of luck!

hi jess welcome on board hope each day you are feeling a little less pain, how you going on the liquid stage?

the pain is starting to go away..which I am so happy about ...but the liquid phase well not so good..I usually have two protien shakes, about 1/2 cup of soup,juice, and then maybe a glass of water throughout the day...I am told that Im ment to be having three protien shakes, 5 glasses of water and then that is it...grrr...so I know that may be why Im not loosing more. Im at 120kgs

which makes me down 5 kgs (12lbs) since surgery. But I would like to be down 9kgs (20lbs) when I get to my 2 week follow up..so we shall see how it goes.:phanvan
