Are there any Australian Sleevers out there, Would Love to hear from you.

The complete guide to nutrition for weight loss surgery is awesome it has over 100 nutritious recipes covering all stages of the weight loss journey from the pre surgery to post op and puree to full diet. It has sections on recovering from surgery' date=' food fundamentals ,trouble shooting and common complaints + nutritional impacts of surgery and different supplementation , promoting healthy habits and thinking and a section on exercise I'm extremely pleased with the recipes as there are a lot of options to keep your meals interesting [/quote']

What are you going to try first?

Hi everyone. Like many newbies on here I have been "stalking" this thread for about 6 months now and I must say u guys give me so much hope and encouragement. I found out today my application for early release of super has been approved, so things seem to finally be falling into place. My next surgeon visit is set for 26/6 so I'm hoping for a surgery date a couple of weeks after that! I am very excited. Jimbo, where did u get the bowl and plate from? They look great!

Congratulations Helen! How exciting you have your super approved.

I think I turned a corner yesterday. The diarrhea is gone. Shoulder pain is much less. I was able to get in all 3 shakes and 13000 steps yesterday. I even did some shopping!

Wow! Benefiber really does dissolve in black coffee without leaving a taste or texture. Awesome.

Hi Helen, welcome and that is great news about your super. I bought my book and plates from a website called www.greatideas.com,au BUT I only ever used the dinner plate once, but use the bowl several times per day. I found the dinner plate too big and prefer to just use a pretty side plate for my meals. You can buy them separately. eers Kelli

Misty you can put the Benefibre into anything, hot or cold. Glad to hear you are feeling so well and 13,000 steps already, WOW

The orange book portion perfection for bariatrics and the two portion aids below (bowl and plate) is packed with information and is a simple way to understand portion sizes with visual product pictures showing Calories and recommended sizes. The bowl and the plate guarantee if used correctly you will never over eat again and will assist in training your body and mind to the portion sizes your new body requires

FYI, I bought these plates too. I love the bowl but don't use the dinner plate as I prefer a smaller pretty side plate. I am happy to give my dinner plate away if anyone in Brisbane would like it????

I just want to get some small bowls that only hold half a cup or 2/3 of a cup. I think that will be helpful. My dietitian has told me I shouldn't be eating more than 1/2 cup at at sitting for quite some time.

I'm glad it is helpful. Truth be told I am feeling great!

When I got back from my 45 minute walk (4000 steps already done) I had half an espresso optislim shake. Then I decided to treat myself and gave myself a foot treatment that has to stay on for 10 minutes' date=' then had a shower. Now I'm back out on the deck and its warm enough for a tank top! Having the other half of my shake and enjoying the weather. I am washing the linens too since they weren't too heavy to carry.

I'm glad I've taken the time off so I can focus on getting all the liquids in, but other than that I would have no trouble working at least a half day. I'm a bit of a workaholic though so I'm not letting myself check my work email etc for at least the first week. I think I will feel up to going to mass on Sunday and that will probably be my first outing. Unless I decide to walk to the shops this afternoon and have a coffee.[/quote']

It's more than helpful misty thank you.

These sort of progress stories help me get over my humps of doubt.
