OI OI OI!!!:crying:

Heeeellllllllllloooooooooooooooooo everyone... If only I had scrolled down earlier... Didn't know there was an Aussie section... yaaaaaaayyyyyyy I'm not alone.

Anyone on here around Perth at all??

I'm vic born and raised, moved to Perth about 2 years ago... worked since I got here - still don't know many people. Would love to meet some people who are riding the same bus as me. :thumbup: Maybe score a buddy or two out of it??

I hope you are all geared up for summer... have a blast peeps!

Hi Shmack,

I too was excited when I realised I was not alone ..... It's nice to know we are not isolated down under and we can meet people from near and far right here in our lounge rooms, that are going through the same experiences as us ..... good luck with your journey

keep me posted with your progress we are at the same starting weight it would be good to compare notes and keep each other motivated on this fantastic journey we have begun.

Hi there, I too am seeing Prof Hamdorf. Still deciding if I am going to go thru with it or not.

I'm SCARED.:hurt:

My problem is "head hunger" rather than overeating. So dunno if this is the thing for me? :wink2:

Have you had your surgery yet? Would love to stay in touch!:cryin:

Hi Dew! :laugh:

I was happy with the forum being US based, because I knew that these people were also going through the same thing as me. When I found the Aussie section, that was a special bonus... I was thrilled! It's been so hard for me to meet people over here in Perth, but just now I also got a reply on my buddy post from a chick who is also in Perth. :cryin: Super!

Would love to keep in touch, great that we are at the same start weight. We are probably pretty close at current weight as well - I haven't weighed myself since just before surgery and lost around 5-7 on my pre op diet, so I'm probably hovering around 7-10kg loss myself (i saw your ticker says about that too!).

Where abouts are you in Aus?

I was scared too. I'm a head hunger/emotional eater/boredom eater... the list goes on.. Prof. Hamdorf did my Surgery exactly one week ago but my pre and post op appointments are being handled by Dr. Taylor as I was originally meant to go through her but there was a stuff up with my quote so had to go to a diff hospital, in-turn having Prof. Hamdorf operate instead of her. But he was great and he's super friendly hey?

My thoughts and feelings about the whole procedure are completely different than I thought they would be. I have such a higher conciousness with what I put in my mouth, and know that if it is something that isn't great, that only a small bit will satisfy. I had a Caramello Koala over like... 4 days lol.

You will be fine hun. If you have come this far then you obviously want this alot. It's a huge thing to go through, but if you want it enough to cut yourself open to help you along the way, then you have the power to use this tool to your advantage for as long as you need it Best of luck mate, feel free to keep in touch. I would like to hear your progress too.

You should keep a blog... that helps me get thoughts and feelings out as well.

Hi ya Shmak

I'm in Echuca Victoria..... Went to for my first post op visit yesterday 1 Month 10kg that makes 18Kg all up. WEEHOO how awsome......

I don't expect to keep this up for ever but it's all good for now

Dewy:smile:

Echuca is nice. I will be camping there with some friends over new years. I'm originally from Wangaratta... Not too far away! Nice progress! Wondering how my first post op appointment will go. 2nd Nov so next week!
