I was in Knox city private.

I'm going ok, only lost 1kg that I gained and that's taken me 3 weeks. Feeling a bit deflated. Very frustrated because I want to do shakes but I just can't commit to it anymore.

Any advice on how to break up with someone? I don't have time for idiocy. He hasn't messaged me in over a week, I drove to and from Sydney and didn't even get a "drive safely". We've been together for 3 years and quite frankly I'm sick of him and have been thinking about this for a while now!! Breaking up in person will just make him cry and that will aggravate me. Breaking up over message is heartless.. It's confusing.

I'm 4kgs away from losing 30kg, why am I not motivated!!! Maybe I need to dump his ass and that will push me back into it!

Hey Bella not long to go now just 1 more sleep.

As Chez said you are best to stay in as long as they say as they know what to look for to make sure you are recovering 100%

Is hubby wanting you home because he is missing you?

Yeah it gets quiet on here.

Usually when people get sleeved or banded they start losing heaps of weight and we don't always hear a lot from them anymore which is great that all is going well but it's also great for everyone to keep the support going.....a lot of people tend to be on here more before they have the op and just after....not so much longer term.

It's a good sign that its working well for people though ;)

Have you eaten yet?? Hows that going.

It's so good to shower and get into your own clothes isn't it :)

I was in for 4 days got out 1 day earlier than planned but I was happy to stay in as long as they needed to make sure all was ok...it's just a long stay but as Chez said it's been pretty major surgery so it should be a long stay.

I had so many more ops with the band and I had 3 c sections with my kids so by the time I had my sleeve done I was just like yep I can do this and lapped up being weighted on for a change haha :P

@@steveelea yeah I definitely need another fill, will have to be next month when I'm back in melbourne(still at my mums)

He hasn't changed since the band, he's just lazy and jobless and I am 100% done. If anyone has changed its me because I realise how crappy he really is and that I deserve someone that will take me out and CALL me once in a while. Someone who has goals.

Obviously I still care about him and would like to break it off gently but there really is no gentle way. He hasn't called or messaged in a week, no hellos or anything. So I'm thinking to just not message him. Even when and if he does decide to say hello I'll just ignore it. Give him a taste of his own medicine. Go single on Facebook. I've already had this conversation with him, about no communication. So he can't say "what did I do".

I visited my uncle in bathurst on the weekend and he said "you don't sound very in love" and I've been thinking about that and he was right!

I'd love to date again and have some fun!

Well you need to look after you and be happy....being unhappy doesn't help you at all.

Get out and have fun :D

As for weight loss until a fill...try eating more Protein and very little carbs as it helps with the hunger AND weight loss.

It's hard to lose weight when you are on holidays hey

Hows your mum doing after her surgery??

Leeanne can I ask you a few questions as you are our veteran

I feel hungry from time to time so have 1/4 cup Soup and it goes away but If an ad for a Big Mac comes on my mouth will start watering and the craving is so strong is this what they call head hunger?? Will this pass?

I was not hungry for the 1st few days but I get a little hungry now it's day 6 for me :-)

Does anyone know if our bodies go in to ketosis as I don't feel as hungry today?

Hey Bella, not sure about the ketosis I know that I was in that before surgery. Afterwards I didn't get hungry or think about hunger til a month in. Now it's the head hunger I struggle with.

My advice, take each day as it comes every day is different. I still have trouble with solid good. chicken and me don't mix well but everyone's different.

It's totally worth it wouldn't change my choice. All the best x

@@Bellarose100 Oh no the hiccups..... :(

So glad to hear that you are home

When did you get to leave and how long was your stay in total??

Isn't it funny how when you manage to get in a 1/4 of a cup feels like you have just eaten a massive Christmas dinner :D

For some reason I am not getting my emails to let me know that people have posted for a couple of days then I get them all at once....not sure whats going on there but sorry for the delays in replying.

@@nerms hows it going??

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
