. Yes I am starting to think he is a bit hard core I see in America most of the girls start puree at 2 weeks then mushy at 4weeks!

I have to do 4 weeks Fluid then

4 weeks puree then at 8 weeks I start mushy foods! I can wait!!

I found out my sleeve likes chocolate!!! Had a tiny piece it tasted so nice I sucked it till it was fluid lol Been having a milo before bed 85cals it's so yummy I can only drink half a cup!

Did really bad today on the calories I went out all day, doctors, shopping etc and forgot to eat so all I had all day was 1 Protein shake and 1 milo with some Water in between but not enough tomorrow I will get more in! If I am home I can sip all day long have to work out how I will get this all done once back at work! Gosh it's hard work!

half a kilo in 3 days isn't slow....that's a massive amount to lose

Can I ask what you are hoping to lose each week? What has your surgeon told you that you will lose?

Yeah bloating and swelling happens its been major surgery with most of your stomach cut off.

I got swelling for many months after the surgery...but I do swell easily.

You are going well and have lost a lot of weight in a short amount of time so be kind to yourself.

I had my 12 month check up yesterday and all went really well.

He said he thinks I will lose about another 15 to 20 and the rest will come off with a body lift so I am really happy with hearing that.

Have about another 20kg to lose until I am at my goal weight so have started back at gym.

Did body balance yesterday...thats yoga, ti chi, Pilates etc all combined and I am feeling it today.....was fun though.

I'm down to 76.7kgs today!

I'm 1.7kgs away from my surgeons goal weight and 2.7kgs away from losing 30kgs!

75.3kg this morning :) now 300g from surgeons goal and 1.3kg for a 30kg loss :D

Everything is so much more achievable in smaller goals!

The smaller you get the more noticeable weight loss is. It took about 20-25kgs to notice anything and now a couple kilos makes a difference!

@@steveelea wow that's good news :) break the 20kgs down into 5kg goals and you'll be there in no time!

Hi everyone. My names Nicole and I was sleeved on 2nd March at Epworth Richmond with Ian Michell.

Was on liquids for two weeks and now on purée for two. Can't wait to be on normal food! Am still learning my limits as I like to drink heaps ;not alcohol!!) and am really having to keep that in check or I bring up the food.

So far I've lost 17kg but that includes the 2 weeks on shakes before the surgery.

      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.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
