Australia - Melbourne

Hi Everyone

I am from Melbourne and am starting a support group.

Sometimes you can feel alone not knowing many or any other people that have had weight loss surgery, and there are always so many questions that we have and support that we need.

Sometimes it helps just to talk to someone that can relate to you

I would love to hear from others in Melbourne, Victoria that are interested in this support group.

Hope to hear from you soon

Leanne

Welcome back nerms!! How was your trip??

Fantastic that you didn't put on Any weight!! I am on the treadmill right now typing this! Lol

Good luck Amy thinking of you hope All goes well ????????

Hi All.

Fairly new to this site, I am located in the NT.

I am 4 weeks out from my sleeve surgery that I had done in Sydney. I am 21kg down including my 2 week pre op diet. I have recently had problems with gallstones, has anyone else had the same problem? ????

Hi jessica, welcome, yes i had problems 3 months after my surgery. Woke up with extreme nausea, was rushed to hospital that evening, 2 days later gall bladder was removed. Recovery was 6 weeks. I had to get it removed as the stones had stuck to the gall bladder wall and had infected my gall bladder. Im living an absolute normal life without it, im so glad its out!

Best of luck with yours

I have managed to get myself into the 60s. 69.7kgs, JUST got myself there and feeling pretty good :)

I was down to 68kgs about 5 years ago and was over the moon, I'm almost back to that stage but would definitely like to see another 10 gone, possibly more because I'm a short ass :)

I was in such a rush to lose weight when I first got handed and I'm now I'm totally ok with slow and steady losses :)

My bandiversary is 3 months away, how time flies!!! I think my goal of getting to 60kg in one yearmay be possible! Even if it isn't at the one year mark I'll get there :)

Ok stall again and put weight on this time! :-(

How is everyone ?

Ive been bouncing up and down 1kg for the last 4 weeks.. Im going nuts. Im not eating a lot and nor am i exercising to the levels i was prior to working. I have had significant changes going on in my life over the last 4 weeks.. Started a new job, had a car accident - both of these have forced my timing of stuff to be all over the place. I hopefully get my car back in the nxt couple of days and that will allow me to have regular starting times at work to allow me to come home early enough to give me time to fit in some exercises! I need to get a good routine going on in my life lol. Im just a mess at the moment :/

Yeah I've been on a plateau too .. Frustrating but I'm ok with it, better than 100 something :)

Yes so true nerms when I think about how big I was I am so so happy to be in the 7o's but I just want to hit the 60's then I am ok with it taking its time!! Will I tho?? Lol

I stalled again after 5 days so I ate what ever for a week and gained 700 grams nothing I know as even eating what ever I want does not = even half I what I could eat pre op!! Lol

Mary I hope everything works out for you hun I am exercising in the mornings now before work it's easier than trying after work xx
