Well - it's been a while - nice to get a reminder in my email that I should post. Life goes on here in Far Nth Qld - still recouperating from my fall - on light duties at work, which is a bit of a joke since they don't actually exist!!! So for the update - all done with food as the exercise is very restricted - and I'm severely pissed abou that but will need to deal with it and move on. Had another fill on the 31/07-08 as restriction got less as the day went on - could eat way too much by the end of the day so got another 1 ml - WOW!!! who would have thought what an itty bitty ml could do!! When I went back for this fill was down to 150.5 kg - I was soooo pleased with myself. Have bought myself a set of scales this week because - yes - my weight now starts with a 1 and a 4 - I am down to 149kg - who'd have thought you could brag about being that fat!!! I can - it is great. All the best to all the other bandsters - had forgotten how good it is to read about all your journeys. Till next time.

Wow !!! thanks but congratulations to you too. You must feel very proud of yourself. Funny how being obese but not morbidly obese is something to yell from the rooftops. Only people on the journey get it!!

Keep up the great work - seeing other people doing this is and are further down the track is a great inspiration for all of us on the way there!!!

Kind regards

Noela

Been slack but thought I'd post an update - am pretty proud of myself these days.

All up now I have lost 31 kgs, thats 68 lbs. Our margarine comes in 500gm tubs - thats 60 tubs of marg, if you put them in a bag and asked me to carry them up the stairs, you'd be told pretty quick what you could do with your marg, but everyday I was carrying that round. OMG!!!

Since last posting have had 2 x 0.5ml fills - got the last one because I want good restriction over Xmas - may have to get 0.25 taken out, as the whole mucous thing is happening. Anyone got opinions on this - it's happening quite a bit.

Exercise is still not really happening - should get a clearance from the Dr this week and will hopefully be back on track - plan is Water aerobics, swimming and some gym.

I'm happy with the weightloss - except I'm going to end up with a serious case of 'tuckshop lady arms' - you know, that lose flabby look!!:laugh:

Anyway would love some advice on the slime thing. And to everyone out there - keep posting -it is such a great place to visit!!

Been a while - thought I'd update - survived xmas and the mucous without an unfill. Am very pleased to post my weightloss as of last Thursday is just over 40 kg - I am very proud to say my weight now starts with a 1 and a 2... this is the weight I was 16 years age when I fell pregnant with my last child......awesome!!!!! Got 0.5 ml added - going back on Thursday to get some removed - pretty rough week - have barely eaten but am keeping fluids down. This has lead to another 3 kg disappearing - it's strange but I'm not happy about that it's not good weight loss. So to everyone out there - keep it up its been a lifesaver for me. Only interesting thing is now I have to deal with all the sh%t in my life without going to the fridge. Somedays its very hard - but worth the effort!!

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
