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

Sorry didn't finish. Writing on iPad in car on ay to the Gold Coast...it's a bit bumpy! As I was saying we seem to be in between new people being sleeved at the moent. Not sure when the next ones are due but I think there are a couple on pre-op diet now.

I am excited this morning as I have reached my second major weight loss goal. First was to crack 100kg which I did just after surgery and the second was to to crack 90kg which I did today after stalling at 90kg for the past 2 weeks. 89.6kg!!! Next goal is 79kg by the time I see the surgeon again on 14 December.

Congrats kelliv!

I have reached my first goal today. That was being under 130kgs. This morning I weighed in at 128.9kgs. I stalled also the last few weeks.

But I have now lost 26.4 kgs in 12 weeks. (2 weeks post op - lost 7kgs) the rest after.

I am a little bit overwhelmed at how easy it has been. Yeas I have alot more to go but I know I can do it.

Hope everyone else is doing well. Good luck to the sleevers to be.

Great news Kelly - I set those same goals and I have been chipping away at them. My next one is to get under 70kg! If I do that I will be in the healthy BMI!

I have been quiet because I have had a lot on lately. Went to the NRL grand final last night - we had seats six rows from the front near half way - it was great - I have never been to a grand final so great first experience!

I have also been really worried about Lila - do you know it there has been any news? I think we are all aware that there are risks but the reality of it is a very long road to recovery which most of us don't dwell on too much! I really hope she is OK.

How are you finding eating. I have been very naughty lately as I have also been out to the races all day on Saturday so between football and races you can imagine the type of food I have been eating over the weekend - and I had half a beer! That under 70 kg is looking further away every minute!

Both Kelly's - kelliv and Aussie kelloff! Great weight loss - yes it does seem quite routine for those kilos come off compared to how hard it was to loose weight per sleeve! I am so glad I have my secret weapon!

Sorry for all the typos in that last post - darn that auto correct!

That's fabulous news Kelli!

I'm one of the in betweeners. I don't even have a surgery date yet! But i'm looking to ask for late January, I have a holiday booked at seaworld in the first week of 2013. It will be our first since my little girl was born and I don't want to spoil it.

I'm a little quiet since I feel like I cant give much advice as I don't really know what being sleeved feels like, I do know what overweight feels like though!

Being under 70kg is a healthy BMI for me too and it's my ultimate goal. I would like to try for about 60kg which is a BMI of 23 for me below borderline lol! I'm hoping time get there by Xmas 2013, I'm 109kg right now so have 49kg to lose. Wow seems like so much to me.

Hi all. I've been quiet too of late. I work in the food and beverage dept of a leagues club and you can imagine how busy I've been leading up to last night. Plus school holidays etc. did you know it's only 85 more sleeps until Christmas? Neither did I until at 6 am I was woken up and informed. *groan*

Weight has been steady, not stalled, just coming off very slowly. Joined the gym and realised that you have to actually GO to get the benefits of it. I'm sitting at about 73ish kg ATM, surgery weight was 86 6weeks ago. I know I had less to lose and I'm happy with what I've lost, but I still can't see a difference in the mirror, and I'm hearing all these big numbers, which I'm jealous of. 10kgs until I'm in the healthy weight range, although I'd like to lose 15 more.

I traded in my old size 16 work shirts for size 12 which is a good thing, another NSV I guess.

Still have 2 more weeks of soft foods before I'm on full solids. I can eat 1 chicken tenderloin with a bit of low fat dressing and that's about it. I'm stuffed. Still struggle to finish an Optifast shake or bar. Drink at least 1L of Water a day and have had the swisse hair skin and nails Vitamins since before surgery, but they are HUGE so haven't started taking them yet. I take a nexium everyday, and can really tell the days I've forgotten it. Acid feels exactly like hunger. Will keep taking it.

That's about it for me. Hope every1 is well and I'm still thinking of Lila.

Hi all good news, car sold!!! Surgery is back on !!! 29 oct can't come quick enuf.

Wow congrats guys! I can't wait for my next dr appointment so I can throw some awesome numbers at you all too!

Bit quiet this week. I bake cakes on the side and I've been completely overloaded with orders this week! 7 chocolate mud cakes baked, five kilos of ganache made and I haven't been tempted to eat any of it! I normally don't have too much of a sweet tooth but have definitely had the occasional bowl lick when done with the ganache! Haha

Hope everyone's doing well. Lila, if you read this I'd love an update! Hope you're doing ok hun, you are a champion for going through all of this.

Xoxo

Yum mud cake! I'm such a glutton, I have no idea how you do it!!!!

Congratulations on reaching a major goal. It's all relative to each persons situation and every milestone reached is worth celebrating. I've lost 18kg in 6 weeks including 3kg pre op. I will be very happy if I achieve similar results as you after 12 weeks. I expect to lose about 3kg's a month, so should get to 23kgs by then at least.

I do feel I've had a pretty easy time of it all compared to others, but each day is still a challenge to change my eating habits for good. Quantity and fast eating are my biggest challenges and the sleeve certainly doesn't allow either.

Hi Sue, you were lucky to go to the final. I am certainly finding socialising and eating out a bit of a challenge, but am coping ok. If I am going to have one glass of wine, I do it when I first arrive, then wait before eating in small portions. I am trying to eat all required food groups each day, but don't always get everything in. Today I had a piece of gluten free fruit toast and banana for Breakfast, a skinny hot chocolate from Max Brenner, chicken salad for lunch and what was left over for pm tea, a tomato juice, 6 raw peanuts and 1/4 cup lamb with cooked tomato, onion and capsicum. I will have some rockmelon at about 8.30pm for supper. Based on today I didn't reach min 3 serves of grainy carbs or 2 serves of dairy. I did get enough Protein, vege, fruit and fats. It sure is complicated these days!!
