I had a nice Christmas lunch with family and found it really easy to eat "within my means". I didn't drink, playing the "I'm sick" card. Our neighbors are coming over for a drink in a bit and I will have one then and some eggnog tonight. But I will stay close to my calorie goal and i haven't felt deprived and haven't stuffed myself either.

Santa brought me a Fitbit Flex and a Fitbit Aria wireless scale! I had the Fitbit One that clips on but this one is a Bracelet. I love it! And the scale syncs with MyFitnessPal automatically and checks my body fat % too. I also got a Fossil bag and a new board game, and Secret Santa gave me a mushroom growing kit!

I didn't mean to be short. I was at a family dinner. :) for soft food I ate a lot of:

eggs

cheese

Yogurt

Cottage cheese

Cereal with milk (like Special K or uncle Toby's flakes)

Porridge with Protein powder stirred in after it cools a bit

Canned Soup with extra chicken added

Beef mince with gravy or bolognaise

Canned chicken mixed with mayo, onion, and gherkin relish (I call this chicken salad)

Refried Beans with cheese

Hummus

Canned peas

Baked Beans

Custard with Protein powder stirred in

I actually ate a lot of fish but I've left that out for you. Sashimi, smoked salmon and canned tuna were staples.

Thank you for the suggestions, didnt think that you were being short at all. I havent really looked at anything else on the site, just went straight for the aussie section. I will explore some more.

Hope you had a nice dinner

Woohoo congratulations!

We are doing well. I'm looking forward to getting back in my normal routine but enjoying the break too, especially silly the break from work!

I rode my bike to and from mass today (about 20 minutes each way). Not too bad but I'll stay inside out of the heat the rest of the day! Looking forward to running tomorrow but I will need to do it early.

Anybody have plans for NYE? We are going to a dinner concert at the Brisbane Jazz Club which is right on the river, so as a bonus we get to see the fireworks at midnight! I am so excited about the dress I bought and will have my husband take a photo when I am all dressed up.

Hi all - Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. 2014 looks to be amazing.

I was following this forum for a while and then had some major set backs - I was unsuccessful in accessing my super twice. I have private health insurance, but needed the extra money to fund my operation. Thank heavens for wonderful family who came to the rescue and on 17 September 2013 I had my gastric sleeve operation in Brisbane. I've lost 26kgs, my health has improved and the arthritis pain in one of my knees is so much less as my weight continues to go down.

Is there anyone around the Springfield Lakes area or close by in Queensland who has had the gastric sleeve and would like to catch up? Please let me know - we have some lovely cafes in the area.

Cheers,

Gorgeous Curves

Welcome! A sleever called Shell used to post here and I think she lives out that way. Maybe she will pop in and say hello. :)

      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!!
