Misty I can go via Murrarie and pick you up. If anyone else wants a lift from Brisbane I have two other seats.

That's awesome. I will take you up on that and I will chip in for the petrol. :)

I will be there' date=' I am very excited! There would be a bus from Helensvale station to Southport I think. If you saw a bus that said Seaworld on it that bus would go past Marina Mirage. I am sure you could google Gold Coast buses.[/quote']

Great Jen I look forward to meeting you. Are you driving down from Brisbane or do you live on the Coast?

I live here. Can't seem to find any one else who lives here and yet I know my surgeon is kept busy and Sleeve is his surgery of choice. I am looking forward to meeting you all, I have lots of questions.

Great Misty. Text me your address closer to the day. Don't worry about petrol but you can shout coffee on the way if you like! I often stop at a roadhouse half way to the Coast. Can't wait to see how different you look since we last met.

On Saturday 5 October we are planning a get together on the Gold Coast where Lissa will be visiting on holidays. I have already had the privilege of meeting her when we both happened to be visiting Melbourne recently and I am sure there are many more of you who have followed her journey and would like to meet her in person. We are going to meet at a cafe called Providore at the Marina Mirage Shopping Centre at 11.00am. Let us know if you will be coming along.

I'll be there Kelli!!!

That's great. Do you have family or friends in Brisbane to support you both? If not I will be happy to come and visit you both or bring you anything you need during the couple of.nights you are in hospital. I live at The Gap which is only about 20 minutes drive from your hospital. Will you both have to do Optifast during 2 week pre-op?

Hi Kelli that's such a thoughtful offer, thank you so much. We do have friends and family in Brisbane but have not told them yet. We figure the longer we delay telling them. The more time we have to work out how to deal with the advice and fears of everybody else. Yes we will need to be on the shakes for at least 2 weeks prior to surgery. Maybe we can catch up for coffee once we get to Brisbane. We would love to have someone to chat with about life after the sleeve. Thank you once again for the generosity of your time and advice. Enjoy your time on the Gold Coast meeting up with everyone.

Hi Everyone!

A little update on my progress so far! So I was finally sleeved a week ago today! 7 long months on a waiting list and my day came :)

This week has gone by so fast - thankfully as well because the first couple of days weren't pleasant at all lol

But today being one week out and three weeks since starting the pre op diet and I've lost 10.9kg! I knew because I was heavier I would have a big number in the first few weeks but never did I think it would be that high! I'm so pleased and yes I am missing actually chewing/eating good but hell I can get over that if my results are so good lol

Loving my sleeve already lol

I only a few months ago moved from the Gold Coast to Rockhampton - such a bummer as I would have loved to meet u all at the meet coming up! Hugs and hope u have a wonderful time!

Donna

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
