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

Hi ladies

I don't really like football much but I go for north and my husband is collingwood!

Wow chez it's almost time I can't wait to hear your journey!

Mick wow 8kgs amazing!

Can I ask you all another question when you see the doctor for your 1st appt do they weight you? If so is it in a gown? Your own clothes? Naked? Lol

Bella,

My doctor weighed me on the first appointment and I just wore my normal clothes, I had thongs on so took my shoes off.

Looks like everyone is going good :) I started a diet on Sunday and I've managed to stick to it, will weigh in on Sunday and let yous know how I go! I'm just so paranoid that I won't lose the 7kgs in time but at the same time 7kgs in 2 months seems doable to me :)

Hey ladies and gent

Going well, just had some chicken. Delicious! Get my dinner shake soon. 4 days to go now.

Bee try not to stress Hun the weight will shift again soon. :)

Bella I weighed in with clothes on.

Leanne, good luck with the photos. :)

Two more days of work. Gotta get my stuff sorted!!

Had a challenge tonight, it was daughters 7 birthday day and she made pizza and had ice cream cake. When I said I couldn't have it as I was on a diet she cried so I caved 2 SMALL BITS of home made pizza and a teaspoon of ice cream cake.... Will se what happens tomorrow ... 9 kg down in 6 days :)

Anyone interested in getting together for coffee and sharing stories. Sure we could find somewhere central to meet.

Sounds like a plan to me. I am out West so anything in the city would be good.

For some reason the pub across the road from Flinders St Station just popped into my head when I thought about a meeting place.

Congrats to all those loosing weight. I'm not. And as I have said before, all my fault. Just can't seem to stick to diet food :( Oh well. Something is bound to happen someday.

I have a job interview today (OMG Shitting myself!!) so being away from food all day will have to be a bonus. :) Will let you all know how I go.

Hey everyone

Aussielady we are planning a catch up for July to give Chez enough time to recover from her sleeve which she is getting done in just 4 days!!!!!

We are going to try to make it somewhere central and I am out near knox / Ferntree Gully and have said I am happy to take anyone this side that cant drive or would like to come with.

Think Chez is in Essendon and Bee is in Dandenong and Nerms is in the city (is that right girls???).....can't remember the others but let me know times and dates and I will try to fins something that suits everyone.

Where abouts are you Mick, Bella, Aussielady and Bookishfred....have I forgotten anyone??

Also is weekdays, weekends or weeknights best for everyone??

Maybe a bit closer to Chez as she will be not long out of surgery?? Thats what I have been planning but I am open to suggestions....just would like it to suit everyone if I can

Bee...Haha yes I can imagine the household with the tigers supporters....bet you love the tigers v carlton games haha

I am all for the brainwash Bee its fantastic haha

I am just trying to keep active as much as I can and not really doing any particular work out just trying to keep active....I want to go to the gym though so might take up that offer for the 1 month membership and see how I go.

Chez soooo excited for you not long and it's exciting getting organized :)

Bella weigh was with clothes on and your husband sounds like a great man going for the mighty maggies :D

Mick Well Done and so good that you only had a little bit....thats the way I'm sure you won't gain weight from that. Just keep going with it and you will keep the weight loss going. Man it's more than 1kg per day you lucky thing!!!!

Bookishfred good luck with your job interview...do let us know
