Great results,If you don't mind me asking why do you need to do Optifast for 4weeks?Thats a long time.By the time you get to solids on the otherside you will be desperate to eat something .Keep up the great work.I feel like my could be more but it's slower with the sleeve.Still happy with the results.

Hi ladies, I'm sorry but I'm in Brisbane. I'm happy to help with support too. I was sleveed on 3rd June. I've lost 14.9kgs but 7.4kgs were on the pre op. I have to say that the Optifast was the worst part of the process! I get to start solid foods today!

Keep up the great work.. 5.9kgs in 8 days is great!!

great idea Bec,take it slow.Im good I have lost 20 kg including 2weeks of Optifast.I was done on may 22nd so all together it's about9weeks.Sometimes I feel it's a bit slow cause 7 of it was the opti but when you work it out over the weeks I'm going ok.

That's great Cathy! I know I'm losing slowly but that's fine with me. As long as it's a loss each week. How are u going with solids? Any tips?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
