I have lost 5.9kgs in first 8 days so gotta be happy with that. It is much easier this week. Im very excited and wish it was sooner but im also very nervous

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.

Yes it is.This time next year we won't recognise ourselves .So worth it.Keep being strong and I'm here if you need to ask anything.Not that I'm an expert as I've only been done for7 weeks but if I can I'm happy to help.

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!!

Thanks Cathy. Solids are going down ok. But I have been playing it safe lol. I'm going to try a chicken tenderloin tomorrow night with steamed veg that aren't cooked to death lol. I just want to take it easy and just try alittle bit at a time

How are u doing Cathy?

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?
