Melbournian sleevers are letting the page down!



Recommended Posts

So I noticed every other states sleevers threads are still going but Melbourne's keeps dying out. I'm really finding it difficult to find anyone with the same surgeon or even in Vic!

What I want you all to do (if you want) is to populate the below and hopefully it will keep us all in touch and encourage each other. And of course feel free to write anything else you want.

Ill start.

Surgeon: Mr Ray McHenry

Surgery Date: May 7 2013

Surgery weight: 110kg

Current weight: 95.3kg

I'm sure there are many more of us from Melbourne but most probably just get on and read without posting.

I unfortunately never posted but found this place very helpful.

Very good sounds like you have done very well.

I had mine with Dr Geoffrey Draper at Mornington on May 4th this year.

Was 120kg and am now 87kg and feeling very good.

Went through a rough time first couple of weeks but only gets better after that.

That's fantastic. I exercise only 3-4 times a week but don't lose as quickly as you. Maybe I need to step it up!

You're doing fine no need to go nuts and not always good to lose to quickly. I wasn't trying to lose that quickly it's just a result of having an obsession with crossfit and I also have a physical job.

As long as you're eating well and doing 3 to 4 days of any sort of fitness you enjoy it will all happen for you.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
