hi there, I am an Aussie living abroad and would love to join your FB group if that is ok as I speak more in kgs etc ;-) But if I join the group will it show up on others feeds that I joined? I haven't shared my journey yet with anyone and don't want it out of the bag because of joining a group or commenting on etc. thanks

I dont believe it shows on your feed. I have also not told any of my friends yet and am in the same boat. What is your fb name and I will add you (or add me rebecca jones with the same pic as here for my profile photo) :-)

It won't show if no one tags you on picture or video. You can edit your settings. Done

Hi everyone. I've just signed up to this. I saw my surgeon this week. I have surgery 4/4. I've found out my vit D is low & cholesterol is higher. Hopefully the surgery will sort out the cholesterol. But I'm excited & I can't wait. Over this battle but am ready for the next battle.

It's named pretty unsuspecting. So no one will notice. Im in the same boat, only my closest friends know my plans. Also, private groups won't show up in your feeds.

@erica_ozzy73--- that too is one of my fears... that I'll still be mentally hungry after going through all this.

I listened to an audiobook Ultimate Gastric Sleeve Success. It was a little preachy but he says a lot.. "If you don't change your behaviours you'll get the same results you always have".

I am not busy trying to list all the behaviours that have gotten me to this point because I'm not going through all of this for it to fail!

I'll have to look that up.. thanks

My surgeon told me not to worry about low Vit D. Will be getting supplement PO. I'm on cholesterol meds. He also told me not to bring them in to hospital cos he will be stopping them.Yay!

Hi all

Haven't joined the Facebook page yet, am not a regular and last looked at my page about 12 months ago. Will sort next week.

High cholesterol (9.5) and blood pressure greater than 165 over 120 was the breaking point for my doctor. He read me the riot act about stroke and heart disease (in my family too) and said he thought surgery would be something I should consider as he's had patients who were very successful. So hopeful that I can come off the meds in a couple of months.

Hubbie is telling me my face looks thinner. I haven't weighed yet.

Today is Day 6 and I've had half a baby's natural yogurt pot with cinnamon and a cup of tea for breakfast. Sitting in a cafe - no one would know I was sleeved on Monday!! Tea is actually very easy to drink.

I am going to try really hard to get to 2L Water, 50g Protein and 5,000 steps today. More than two thirds there yesterday.

I do feel a kind of euphoria....there is a point in the future where I will no longer be overweight. People who haven't been there just don't understand what an awful drain it is. So much wasted energy in feeling fat and sad and hopeless in being able to counter it. The future seems very bright.

Have a lovely Saturday all.

Meg you are so right! I have high BP and chol too. Not as high but rapidly heading in that direction. It's so true what other people say to you. 'You're not fat' or 'Go for a walk' etc etc. I'd love to go for a walk but my knee and ankle joints won't let me. Every day chores are difficult. I am so looking forward to the day I can walk around a shopping centre without want to sit down every 10 mins and buy new clothes for the wonderful new body I'll have.

Do join FB. We all need each other's support.

Funny I'm also low in Vitamin D but I get plenty of sunlight!

Sent from my SM-G930F using the BariatricPal App

Most people are low in Vitamin D regardless of how much sun they get. Maybe so little is absorbed by the skin. You'd think living in Australia we would be over supplied with the stuff lol.

Is anyone taking Vitamin supplements besides multi?..

I've just had blood tests and get the result s feb 7th for B12. I haven't been told about any others I should be taking

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
