Oh - I hit the 6th month post op mark a week ago.

Start weight 137.7 kgs

Current weight 94.7 kgs

Lost 43 kgs

My goal weight is 82kgs' date=' which is the top of my healthy weight range. The weight loss has slowed down considerably, but I'm happy just chipping away at it. To be honest I've come this far, if I have a week where I lose .5kg I'm happy.

Keep smiling,

Hi Dean, we assumed the job took precedence on Monday so don't worry. Congrats on your fantastic results. Can't wait to see you although I am not sure I will recognize you now!

No I'm going home in the morning so I should be right. I might just ask for an up and go or some milk for brekkie. I have lots of suitable things at home.

It's good you only needed two nights and no drains by the sound of it. You will sleep better in your own bed too.

Congratulations Misty, seems like you all over this 'sleeve stuff '.

Dean, amazing results !!!!!! I hope you're enjoying the new job. It's great to hear from you.

Thanks everyone for your kind words. My first 'solid food' today was a Protein Bar and it took me two attempts to eat it and I'm still not hungry. Such a different feeling to when I was on liquids and hungry all the time. Maybe I'll have time tomorrow to try a poached egg for Breakfast, don't think I can live on Protein Bars for the rest of my life.

I hope everyone is well.

Michele

Good luck Brendan!

I'm home. Did the dishes and went for a walk for 15 minutes. Now resting and having Water with cordial. I feel fine.

I found out today that the surgeon repaired my hernia at the same time as the sleeve. :)

You're killing this Misty!

Just finished with Dr Nolan. Ordered a blood test and gastroscopy (being thorough). Tentatively booked for July 5.

Feeling a little apprehensive again but really can't wait to get this underway. Decision is made now.

Blood sugar 4.9. That's a non-diabetic number, folks!

What a great NSV, before you've even left hospital!

Good to hear you're doing so well Michele. Job is great - I'm on a pretty steep technology learning curve!

Early on poached eggs didn't do it for me. Something about the texture of the white, they're fine now. At that early stage I'd gently scramble one egg so it wasn't dry and fine grate a bit of fresh parmesan for salt / flavour.

Thanks mate. Everybody wishes everybody luck (I do it too) but the reality is once you have this tool there is no luck. There's some hard work (a reasonable amount) and staying focused - but no luck required! ;)

As far as being an inspiration goes, if your numbers are similar to mine and looking at my results makes you know that this is really achievable - I think that's great.

All the best,

Deano

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
