Thanks Kristine - loving yours too! I'm feeling happy and healthy - having my sleeve is the best thing I've ever done for myself! Have now lost 3 st 1lb and can honestly say that food has lost it's hold over me (YaY!!!) Went out for lunch with my mum today - the deal was a starter and a main for £10.95, so I had the starter and my mum had the main at the same time! FAB (and so cheap - I am now officially a cheap date!) No need to ask how you're getting on - your photo says it all! How's it going? x x

Oh, sweetie! You are SOOOO young. The other picture made you look like this girl's mother.

Congratulations -- you're doing so good.

New life, new you. I like you in both colors actually. I can't go blonde, I'd look like my sister too much. Omg did you see I chopped all my hair off. Freaking out a little. Hasn't been this short since 3rd grade when I had no choice. Lol.

Wow! Who's the blonde hottie?

Hi Kristine
WOW!!! 3 st 2lbs in 2 months is FAB!!!!! Congratulations!!! I'm feeling really good I started my pre op diet on 6th July, since when I've now lost 35 and a half pounds ( 2 and a half stone, I think), which I'm really pleased with. I already feel a lot healthier for losing that amount of weight and can't wait to see how I feel when I've lost some more My post op hospital check is on Thursday so hoping they'll be pleased with my progress. Solid food is so far really good (much better than going from liquid to purée was!) Like you, I can definitely tell when I'm full! Am going out on fri eve for a meal with a friend (we've picked Tapas - I'm hoping little portions will work well (and that they'll let me take the left-overs home) Keep doing what you're doing Kristine - you're doing GREAT!!

Thanks Kristine (and apologies for getting your name wrong - I mixed you up with Heather - I'm hopeless!!!) Serious congrats on your amazing weight loss - you must be delighted!! It's great that we're both feeling so good. I know it's early days but so far I couldn't be happier. Went for a massage today with a friend and I could really feel how much smaller my body is already - it was great! (I guess this is what they call it 'the honeymoon period')

Hi Heather, Sorry not to have replied sooner. I'm absolutely fine! In fact, better than fine - I'm feeling. GREAT! I go onto 'solid food' on Thursday (although I've tried a few bits already and all's good) I've lost approx 33lbs since 6th July (pre-op diet start date) and have gone from 17 st something to 15st something (nearly in the 14's) in less than 2 months! (I know others on this site have lost more and quicker but to me, it's so great)
How are you doing hon? Is all going well? X

Hi Kristine,

I'm feeling better than before thank you , I've still got some wind !!!! I'm having to go back into hospital on Wednesday as I've not had a poo for 2 weeks !!! So have an enima (nice) I am on morphine which causes problems. It's been harder having the op being on such strong meds as I'm constantly taking liquid mess which taste awful then I've got the side effects but I do intend to get off them all especially the morphine. How are you getting on ?
