@Brookebelynda.. good luck with that. I've been with HCF for 15 years with second top cover and they still made me wait a year.

Yep didn't work. :( I don't really want to withdraw 20kfrom my super so I guess 12month wait begins now haha.

I wonder if you could just pay 12 months worth of premiums straight away and then not need the waiting period!

Is any of you two on FB? Maybe I could set up a group to keep in touch and keep each other accountable. And any other awesome aussies who may want to join. In Hobart there is not much after care support :-(

Hi Banded Becks am in Sydney. Where you?

Each day getting better. Yesterday I had two shakes, about another half litre of Water and a cup of ginger tea, plus a 30 minute walk. Lots of sleep too. Middle feels a bit uncomfortable sometimes but I am pleased to be off the meds.

Am going to try for 50g Protein today and 2L Water, plus a walk.

Have been making lists of all the yummy small Protein rich puréed meals I can move onto once past this full liquid stage.

Have found a couple of great blogs - the world according to eggface and gastricsleeve4me which have helped pass the time.

Have booked hairdressers for highlights this arvo. Think it will be a great treat. I will sit and relax and drink peppermint tea

Have a good day everyone. Hope the post surgeryites are getting better. Every day is a bit easier.

Found a page called 41 sneaky ways to add protein to every meal. Has some yummy recipes.

I'd be interested in joining a private Facebook group too. I've tried creating one but it needs another person/friend for me to do it and I don't know any other GS people. I've called it Aussie GS. Anyone want to become my friend so I can make it? Piri Nola... I can't find you on FB maybe an email address?

Anyone find they wanna eat for the sake of eating???..

7 weeks post op and the horrible habit never went away.

I drink heaps of Water and cups of tea to trick myself but bloody hell its hard..

the head hunger games are full on.

Given in the evening When I'm home with everyone it's so hard.

Im now day 4 post op and the pain of eating is putting me off.

In past when loosing weight it is all about will power, and practising will power. Telling yourself no and having the mental strength. It is definately a muscle you have to continue to work out. There are a lot of youtube clips about practising will power and how to increase this. Hope this helps in some way. All else fails go to bed early :-p

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
