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

I am being tortured right now. Yum cha is my absolute favorite and I'm sitting here with the whole family for fathers day just watching everyone else eat. I just want to cry.

Stay strong!!! You can do this! Believe me I know how hard it is, I was craving chocolate the other day so I had a sugar free hot chocolate- probably not a great thing I do but it has no sugar, didn't raise the calories above 700 and stopped me from buying the real thing. Sometimes you have to weigh the good with the bad. But u will get through this:-) I told my ex mother in law today....if I have surgery on the 11th September I'm going to need her to look after the girls- all my family will b in Vegas from the 8th. She gave me a very disapproving look, said 'hmmmmmm well that seems drastic' I guess she hates 'elective' surgery as she battled breast cancer almost 10 years ago.

I feel you susie- yum cha is my fave too! Just hold it in your mind that next time you confront yum cha you will be able to think more clearly, enjoy small bites, and have an experience that everyone else is having! Not the panicked rush to consume everything on every tray that I know so well!!!!

Peace

Thank you I'm at Greenbank (south of Brisbane). I've chosen Dr Greenslade from Brisbane Bariatric at Greenslopes. I'd love to know if anyone has any feedback on him. Hope that's ok.....

Welcome ozee,

I live on the northside of Brissie, what date are you booked in for.

I am 6 weeks post op. and loving it.

Hi Aussie. I'm booked for Nov 14. I'd be in sooner except that that's when my 12 month insurance waiting period is up. So, until then, I'll just have to keep patient

Glad to hear yours is going well!

I've got family who have been banded - but that's not for me. I won't be mentioning my decision to them until post-op, too negative.

So good to have a great bunch of people to listen to......and bore.

Lol- I have to wait until June 2013 for mine! I'm seeing dr hatzifotis @ greenslopes... But the longer I wait the more I'm dealing with the mental side of this whole thing had a wonderful day today- cereal and sushi w a long walk inbetween and I feel good! Can't wait til I see reflexologist/massage therapist on Wednesday I'm craving the me time!

15kgs! That's great! It's good hearing positive feedback to such a huge lifestyle change. I'm such a guts (really!) that I wonder how well I will cope mentally

I wondered same thing but I just can't get more than half a cup down at any one meal, so problem solved.
