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

Hi everyone,I haven't been on for a while but I am still reading all your posts.For me the last few weeks seems to be very slow but if this had been an ordinary diet I would have quit by now and the weight plus more would be on.One more kilo till the magic double figures.My own personal goal.Cant weight.Keep going everyone,love reading it all.

Hi guys- end of week 2 of my challenge.

Exercise wise I shook things up - added different exercises to my old routine so although I am not working out longer it seems harder so I am hoping to see it on the scales. Or off the scales rather...

I realised that I am quite excited by the prospect of losing these last 15kg. It's a lot but a reasonable amount to go rather than the 100 kg I had to lose which felt impossible.

It's my birthday today and I suppose it's been a time of reflection for me. It's been a huge year and I have really got a lot to be thankful for. Things are so different now and I can't wait for the coming year. It's odd though - I am almost more excited about my sleeve-versary next month than my actual birthday lol.

Hope you're all well and your own personal challenges are on track!!

Little motivation for exercise on the cold Monday morning: nobody ever compliments you for sleeping in (I saw this on Facebook and quite liked it

Cheers Liss

On a much sadder note, on the Gastric Sleevers Australia FB page we have been told about a fellow Sleeve Sister who passed away today from complications with her operation. There are no details of name or circumstances surrounding this tragic news.

I hope that we can all send our thoughts and love to her family and friends during this very difficult time.

We all know that this surgery is very risky, however, it is rare for things to turn out so tragically. I'm sure this lady would want each of us to continue to do our best to make our 'Sleeves' a success, just as she hoped to do before her surgery.

Sending LOVE to her family and friends during this very difficult time.

May she Rest in Peace.

That's terrible news. It is good to keep in mind that every surgery has potential complications including death. But obesity causes death too.

Very sad news - sending all my love and best wishes to her family and friends.

Dreadful news.I am thinking of her, those she loved and the lost new life she wanted with deep sorrow. Counting my own blessings with gratitude.

Wow that is so sad. I am not on the Facebook page anymore so I wasn't aware but my thoughts and prayers are with the family. It makes you realise just how lucky you are!!

That is so so sad. My thoughts are with her loved ones. You do realise how lucky we are to have come through this surgery to lead normal lives. It just makes you think about everything.

I agree this is very sad news and makes us even more thankful for our good health and blessings. Happy Birthday Melissa, enjoy what's left of it and also happy sleeversity too. Mine is coming up on 14 August and I am also excited. Cheers Kelli

Very sad news. To all of the pre sleevers, It goes to show its not a light decision to be made.

Happy birthday, Melissa!

I'm off again tomorrow and it will actually be a lazy day. Today I was out and about half the day. Dietitian this morning. She's happy with my food but gave me some suggestions for helping with my gastro issues. She wants me to see my GP to make sure I still don't have a bug from India. I guess I will get to that by the end of the week.

Weigh in tomorrow. It's hard to believe it will be 3 months next week.

Hi guys. Still stalled with my weight- worse than that actually- the scales said I had out on a kg but I re-weighed the next day and it had gone and I was back to my stall weight.

So guess what my response to this was on Sunday night???? To overeat

You'd think I had learned nothing this past year! So I had an attack of the guilts afterwards *cuethepityparty*

I know what I should be doing- staying the course, shaking up what I am eating etc but I am so freaking tired at the moment!! I am finding it hard to eat and to care about eating well when I do eat.

It's pretty stupid and I have been so lucky up until this point!! I just have to suck it up and hold the course... But man, this last 15 kg is a killer!!!

Lissa what about asking your dietician about doing 2 consecutive days a week at 500 calories? Mine suggested this and it is helping lose the last few kilos. I stick to 800 on the other days. You really have had a great run with regular loses up until now so just treat this as another challenge along the way. You've overcome far worse!!
