Yep, can relate! I want that piece of pizza, but I'm buggered if it will fit in!<br> Just take things easy and your recovery will continue to go well.<br><br> I'm doing well.. I have lost 10kgs not to bad in 5 weeks, considering the stupid stall I had.<br><br> It gets easier, and I'm learning what,when and how much to eat. food is becoming not so much of a focus anymore. <br><br> I put on a jacket this morning as I am desperate for something warm to wear to the footy. All my jackets were way too small.<br><br> I was gobsmacked when it actually fit! No tightness in the arms, or across the back, and I could even do up the buttons. It's one of those 'NSV's' that I read about all the time, and it feels good!

I found a cauliflower base for pizza - might allow you to have one piece :)! Just cauli cheese and egg - bake it a little and then pop your toppings on!

That's so good about the jacket! I can't wait for some of those victories!

I'm doing okay! I made meat pies for my auntie and uncle tonight and then had my soup!

Hope your weekends gone well :)

He was fine... Informative and not pushy or judgy so that was nice. He seems to know what he is doing;)

Hi Everyone

I have just booked in to get a Sleeve by Jon Armstrong at Hollywood Private Hospital. My op date is the 3rd of November. I'm a little nervous but excited. My surgeon has asked that I do a month of Optifast before surgery so I'm looking forward to getting stuck into that! Can anyone tell me about their experience at Hollywood Hospital? Thanks!

Hi JLaw78

I had my surgery with Jon Armstrong at Hollywood 18 months ago. Everything went well & he was excellent as were the nursing staff.

I have reached my goal weight & must admit I' could probably loose a bit more if I exercised but I just hate it & just never seem to find the time, I do walk a bit as in parking the car a bit further away....

As for food I can eat anything & still have a few treats but if I do it's only a little so it's not a problem.

It's the best thing I just wish I had done it years earlier.

Good luck but you don't need it you will be fine.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
