There is a gastric sleeve support group in australia but I find it very hard to navigate around that site, so I only use this one on VST and I am in the Gastric Sleevers Australia group on Facebook which is also great. Otherwise if you are looking for a specific topic, go to the GSS group as it has threads to all different topics..I go there is after specific information on a topic

On another note, have decided today to have my 40th in July 2013 on a cruise :) This will coincide with my surgerversery. Initially I wanted a big party as being big for last 15 yrs I never wanted parties etc and really stopped living life but after thinking about it and taking into account that I have my sons 18th & 21st in the same year which will be celebrated by parties - I think a cruise sounds perfect :)

So planning begins - only wish I could squeeze in the plastic surgery for the bikinis by then, but no chance :(. Haha

First cruise ever !!

This is an easy site to navigate.

I was thinking more creating a social group on here. That way there can be a few threads for different subjects?

Go on Facebook and search for Gastric Sleevers Australia, then send a request to join. It is a closed group so no one apart from this group see your posts

Ugh - had a little (couple of bites) of a meatball sub today and it was a BAD idea. It sits really poorly in my tummy. Not nice. I've done this with a few things lately :( I am going to go back to basics and see if that feels any better :)

Sorry to see you have had troubles eating normal foods, so long past your surgery date. Did you chew your meatballs super well, did you eat the bun? I'm not sure I'm looking forward to that happening....

Have you spoken to your dietitian or doctor about this??

Hi Lili, this still happens to me as I try new things. meat such as lamb and beef are difficult to digest and don't sit very well. You are still in the early days and it will get easier to judge what sits well and what doesn't over time. It does get easier.

      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?
