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

Hope all is ok with your knee Kelli - I like your new photos Kelli an Mysty

Hi Lissa' date=' I did OK with goals this week except I only did 2 gym sessions instead of 3, but I did a good long walk last Sunday too, when something 'popped' in my knee, so it's back to my orthopaedic surgeon in a couple of weeks.[/quote']

I don't recognise anyone's new photos these days! You look great! Have you had trouble with your knees before?

Thanks Sue. This knee is crook at the best of times, so hopefully it will repair itself in time. Just another niggling injury.

Thanks, yes I have one bad knee from an old skiing injury. Was operated on unsuccessfully a couple of years ago. It now has arthritis and a recurring bakers cyst at the back. Since getting the sleeve and losing 33kg it's been a lot better, but I've done something new to it now which is just a nuisance. I am still exercising, but avoid using that knee or doing anything which is unsupported.

I just about had an orgasm eating a salad today. I had brought some ham, cheese, and crackers for lunch. But around lunch time I started craving Subway. You know that Subway taste. So I decided to risk it, and get a salad. I chose the roasted chicken breast salad, with a little Southwest dressing drizzled on it.

For lunch, I ate the chicken and about 1/3 of the salad. I had zero trouble at all, just remembered to chew carefully. Right now I have just finished my afternoon snack, which was the ham I brought for lunch, and 1/3 more of the salad. So good. I will toss the other 1/3, I feel like I got my money's worth. 1/3 of the salad itself (ignoring meat and dressing) is only 17 calories, 1 gram of Protein, 0 fat, 2 grams of carbs.

Mostly it just felt so good to eat vegetables! So many people say they have trouble with raw veggies, especially lettuce. But I haven't had ANY trouble at all (knock wood)!

I know Misty!! I just love salad these days!! Haven't had subway but if I get stuck will give it a go

Feeling a bit bummed- lost 0.2 kg last week. Thinking I might be in another stall- here's hoping things get moving soon. Will keep on going for another week but if it is no good then I will call the dietician for some help.

Sigh...

Hope your Mondays going better than mine cheers Liss

Lissa, you have lost so consistently in the past and as you are getting closer to reaching your goals it's normal for things to slow down and it was still a loss!

I agree! Still a loss. For what it's worth, I think I will lose nothing this week either, but I'm not letting it get me down.

Guess what, Kelli? I entered my appointment with Di wrong into my calendar and I showed up at 11, to find out that my appointment was for 9! So I dropped off my food journal with her and rescheduled for next week. Feeling a bit stupid.

Oh well, she normally sends a text a few days beforehand to confirm.

That must be annoying especially when you have lost so much weight and you are an active person.Hope all goes well with your orthopod.
