Hey y'all,

Sorry haven't been around much. Was computerless for a few days last week at home and I can't use the forums at work.

Nothing much happening. Down to 102kg. 600gm in a week. I'm blaming my damn period (f you cramps) and the fact that I've been too lazy to exercise. I did go for a walk this morning in 5° temperature. I'll try and haul my arse out of bed early when I work at home to go for a walk.

Tomorrow night I have my first Jamie Oliver Ministry of food class in Geelong....can't wait! At least I can cook my lunch for the following day LOL.

Lila, I'm so glad to hear from you but very sad that it has still been very tough for you. It shows how little I know but I would have thought if you have a leak then they would take you back into surgery and staple the leak location - obviously not the case. Then the possibility of a gastric bypass is wow !!

I pray all went well today with your scan. We have all been so worried for you and please Lila if there is anything we can do, pls do not hesitate to let us know..

Is your family still with you on the Coast. I hope you get back home real soon

xxxxx

I seem to weigh less at night...I think I'll change my weigh in times. Last night I was 101.2, just now I'm 102.3.

What the?!?!?!

Consult and booking appointment on Tuesday with assoc/prof Peter Cosman. Hoping I will get my late January date, it's not that far when you think of it!

I'm hearing you- except I lose weight...then put it back on!?!?!

I went from 134.6 (day I started pre op diet) down to 128.9 (weight at operation) then back up to 131.3 (day 5 post op) Then down to 120.2 (14 days post op) then up to 123.6 where i hovered for a week or so....then 121.3 (3 weeks post op) then 120.2 again a few days ago and now at 120.6 ...I have no idea what to expect when I get on the scales! Lol

I'm not happy with my numbers. Maybe it's due to my period. I don't know.

I just want to hit double figures dammit. It's soooo close, yet seems so far.

I have mine too at the moment, so that could be a reason....u may find yourself under 100 in a few days time- when our bodies let go of all the Fluid they are retaining. I think this too and fro with the weight will be the way my body balances out after each initial drop in weight- I feel frustrated too but I have to respect that this is the way our bodies are designed, so we don't just waste away during a famine.

Hi Kayargh and Nessa, I am waiting to have a sleeve/bypass done very soon to replace an 8 year old Lapband, but I hope I can offer you some reassurance about your weight 'numbers'.

It is very normal for our weight to fluctuate between 1 and 2 kg per day and with women who are still menstruating it can be as much as 5 kg, as I am sure you both know. Like you I have struggled with my weight for most of my life and there is nothing more gratifying than seeing the numbers go down and we get really deflated when they go up.

Perhaps, instead of weighing every day (and we've all done it!!!!!) just weigh twice a week, at the same time of day and I'm sure that you will always see the numbers dropping!!!!!!! instead of being so aware of the normal fluctuations. Hang onto your "big girl" clothes and wear them when you weigh yourself and two things will happen, one you will feel how much you are losing because the clothes will get bigger and bigger as you get smaller and smaller, AND by wearing the same clothes there is no 'unknown factor ' in the weight that comes up on the scales.

You are both doing a great job and I am confident that you will reach your goals.

Sending you both lots of positive energy to help you stay strong.

I always weigh either nekkid prior to shower or first in the morning in my PJ's.

Felt like smashing the scales this morning though.

I just want to be in double figures. I haven't been double figures since I was probably 16?

Hi again Nessa, I hear how frustrated you are but you have lost an amazing amount of weight in such a short amount of time. You are averaging over 2kg per week; 24+kg = 4 dress sizes!!!!! gone forever!!!!!! :D Do you mind telling me what your weight is now?

As I said I don't have a sleeve yet so I cannot say I understand what you are going through at the moment. I have just read your blog and you sound like a wonderful sister and someone who is normally full of joy.

Does your surgeon have a psychologist who works with him? It sounds like you might benefit from having some sessions to discuss what is going on. Our brains can play some pretty funny games when we are doing something that is very different from past behaviour. Alternatively do you know that there is a way to get 'counselling' funded through Medicare? If you want more information please let me know and I can give you the details.

Remember, we are all in this boat together and if there is anything I can do, such as give you a call, chat on line or just post messages to each other I would love to be able to help you through this 'yucky stuff'. Hawaii is one of the most beautiful places on this planet and you will be one of the 'beach babes' sitting on the beach this time next year. So hang in there, all of your hard work will pay off, I'm sure.

if you want to email me privately, my email is: one_elle26@iprimus.com.au.

Best Wishes

One_elle

Start weight 128kg. Now maybe 102kg?

Thanks for your contact info. You may be hearing from me.

I'm sure it'll past, just I'm a bit frustrated at the moment with number either going up or down.

I'm seeing my surgeon next in December and he thinks I should be in my 80's. I hope so, but it's moving so slowly at the moment.

Nessa, I remember the wait to get under 100 was awful especially as I got so close. I found that after the initial few months of constant weight loss, my body would plane out every 10kgs of so, like a natural reset I guess. I stayed at like 101 for like 2 weeks and had begun to wonder whether I was ever meant to be under 100. It is frutsrating!!!

But as of yesterday when I had to get weighed to go indoor skydiving I weighed 77kgs, that is a loss of 73kgs...something even I have no concept of. This puts me in my goal BMW range of 27, high 27 but still there...while I am on vacation I am not trying really at all to loose or anything really just enjoy life and eating not so well..I will be back into it when I get back..I have body sculpting to do now.

All the best to everyone, I see the updates and you are doing great:)

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
