Any Brisbane sleevers available to meet for a coffee or lunch maybe this Friday? If so where and when? We met last time at Melange Cafe in Roma St Parklands. Happy to do so again if this suits everyone else. Cheers Kelli

Ok great, where do you suggest? What about either Mediterranean at Cafe Mondial in Albert St OR perhaps somewhere that serves yum cha or sushi? You choose...

Ugh had a rough day yesterday :( Had my first puke in quite a while despite the fact I only had 4 crackers and a piece of toast all day. Still feeling a bit yuck today but am definitely less sick. Blaming it on the heat - still having trouble balancing the need for fluids with getting in enough food which makes me sick cause I am not eating enough...hope I work this out soon!!!

Deano, you mentioned that you wanted to buy a Vitamix , I did a bit of research and there is a website at : www.kitchenwaredirect.com.au and they have the Vitamix for $899.00. They also have the Thermochef, which seems to do everything that the Vitamix does and more including the added advantage of having a heating element as well and it is only $699.00.

I also looked at the TVSN.com.au site, mentioned by another member here, and they have the Thermochef with two different additional 'bundle'offers (valued at approx. $100.00) also for $699.

I also checked 'Choice' and the Thermochef got a reasonable write up, except that since it is a copy of the much more expensive Thermomix, it does take a little while to get used to using it but the significant difference in price might make up for the extra time required to work out how to use it. There are videos of how the Thermomix works on their Website.

I am also interested in buying one of these products so I thought I would pass on what I discovered.

With the Thermomix and the Thermochef, you put the whole fruit into the machine and it makes the juice for you. So, you get all of the fibre from the fruit, which is what you are looking for I believe?

I hope this helps.

Hi Lila, that's not good. You were having a pretty good run, finally.

With the heat, are you able to drink? Can you make yourself some Protein shakes using Protein powder with some sort of liquid like skim milk or fruit juice?

I hope that you are feeling much better today.

Thanks Elle - that's awesome information. I've had a look at all those web sites.

I think I'm leaning toward to Vitamix. I'm in negotiation with the Minister for Finance. At the moment it's looking like the end of January after school fees are paid ;):)

Thanks again,

Deano

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
