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

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
