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 :)

I'm from Albany (down south) and I have my very first appointment with Dr Leon Cohen on July 11. I'm excited, scared and very anxious!

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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
