I am being tortured right now. Yum cha is my absolute favorite and I'm sitting here with the whole family for fathers day just watching everyone else eat. I just want to cry.

Stay strong!!! You can do this! Believe me I know how hard it is, I was craving chocolate the other day so I had a sugar free hot chocolate- probably not a great thing I do but it has no sugar, didn't raise the calories above 700 and stopped me from buying the real thing. Sometimes you have to weigh the good with the bad. But u will get through this:-) I told my ex mother in law today....if I have surgery on the 11th September I'm going to need her to look after the girls- all my family will b in Vegas from the 8th. She gave me a very disapproving look, said 'hmmmmmm well that seems drastic' I guess she hates 'elective' surgery as she battled breast cancer almost 10 years ago.

I feel you susie- yum cha is my fave too! Just hold it in your mind that next time you confront yum cha you will be able to think more clearly, enjoy small bites, and have an experience that everyone else is having! Not the panicked rush to consume everything on every tray that I know so well!!!!

Peace

Thank you :) I'm at Greenbank (south of Brisbane). I've chosen Dr Greenslade from Brisbane Bariatric at Greenslopes. I'd love to know if anyone has any feedback on him. Hope that's ok.....

Hi Aussie. I'm booked for Nov 14. I'd be in sooner except that that's when my 12 month insurance waiting period is up. So, until then, I'll just have to keep patient :)

Glad to hear yours is going well!

I've got family who have been banded - but that's not for me. I won't be mentioning my decision to them until post-op, too negative.

So good to have a great bunch of people to listen to......and bore.

But the longer I wait the more I'm dealing with the mental side of this whole thing :) had a wonderful day today- Cereal and sushi w a long walk inbetween and I feel good! Can't wait til I see reflexologist/massage therapist on Wednesday :) I'm craving the me time!

      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
