Hi everyone, thought it would be a good chance to reach put to people out there who are having their sleeve done in October. Mine is on the 29th & I have been planning this for 12 months. Good friends of mine had it done with fantastic results do that when I decided to join a health fund & as we know you need to wait 12 months other wise I would have done it by now.

Stats are:

Age 43, height 4/11, weight 106kg

Feeling excited to start so starting on Monday I'm going to start taking the Optifast for Breakfast then after a couple of weeks included lunch the dinner.

I have two young boys full on energy & would love to do more with them but I'm always feeling too tired.

I'm having my surgery at St George private in Sydney.

Hope we can help each other along on a journey to a fitter more healthier lifestyle.

Fantastic results Ray, that's incredible. You must be feeling great. I was over the shakes pre op let alone face them now. Im missing that crispy sound when biting into something. I sat and watched the fam munching on their meat and veggies in ore tonight, as I slurped down my puréed chicken casserole.....almost brings a tear to my eye thinking about it. Keep us posted on your weight lose, I love hearing people success stories.

Hi Ray,

Your results are fantastic, your definitely reaping the rewards now, keep up the good work & don't lose sight of the bigger picture a fitter, healthier & slimmer you ????

Hi ladies, I'm Michelle, Victoria and sleeved on Monday gone. Have had a few testing days with the effects of anaesthetic but feel 100% better each day. Just had my first yoghurt pouch! Woo hoo!

Hi Michelle,

Glad to hear your mending well.

A whole pouch of yogurt isn't much but to a fellow sleever it's a great achievement. I'm exactly 2 weeks and 2 days post Op and I'm feeling pretty good in myself, but missing that crisp sound when you bite something. I think all this purée has just about done my head in...Lol.

Welcome to the club, just take it slow you still have weeks ahead of you before to go back to solids so don't rush it.

Hi all,

I've just found this site and excited to share my story but also to reach out to others for on going support.

I had my sleeve done on 6th Oct 14 by Mr Frydenberg at Epworth in Richmond Vic. It was the best decision I've made.

I've lost 32kg which has been fantastic but the last 2 weeks I've not lost anything.

Not sure why as I haven't changed anything in my diet.

Is there anyone else that this is happening too?

I'm 182cm tall and starting weight was 163kg so I have still a lot of weight to lose.

Would love to hear if others have had a stop in their weight loss? Is it temporary? What can I do to get it moving again?

Thanks in advance for your support.

Hi Happyjacq,

I have also experienced the weight lose stall, 4 weeks and not a gram, It really is disheartening. I spoke with the dietician about it and she suggested that I wasn't eating enough....no one has ever said that to me before LOL. Low and behold I mixed up my meals a bit, added a few more vegies and salad and hey presto I've lost another 2.5kg in the last 3 weeks even whilst being on a cruise and consuming more than my far share of cocktails!

So try not to be to disheartened your results so far are fantastic. I sometimes have to remind myself that it has only been 3 months and sadly want what's taken me a life time to put on just to magically disappear overnight.

Thanks MooCow for that. I'm seeing my dietician in a couple of weeks - will be good touching base with her.
