Hi, I'm new here and am wondering if there are any fellow Australians on here? I had my first consult today and my Dr was really positive and said I'm an ideal sleeve candidate so all going well, I'll have my sleeve done next June (after the wait for my health cover).

Hi All you Aussies. Here is the link to the fb group we created: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1501249956575720/

Just rejoined Facebook. Please add me. Steph Nagel (same photo as here)

@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!

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.

Distracting myself isn't easy either as I know what I'm trying to do lol...

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

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 got a lot out of this book and also the Big Book on the Gastric Sleeve.

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) :-)
