    Hi Lynette
    Well today is 10 June 2013. And haven't looked up this site for awhile as been busy looking after my darling husband.
    He lost his battle with Leukaemia on Friday, surrounded by our family.
    But he loved his hot, slim, sexy wife - as he would say!,,
    I am so pleased that I was able to become someone that he wanted to show off to all and sundry.
    Anyway, down to a loose Size 10 and now worried how do I stop loosing weight?
    I just can't eat much and still have my coffee shake a day and sometimes that is it and a skim cappuccino and then forget to eat.
    It has been stressful I suppose with Peter, but I don't even feel like a glass of wine.
    How are you going?
    Amanda
  2. Hello fellow Ozzie sleevers. I have not been on this forum for many months and was wondering how you are all keeping? Lost much? I am on an all time long stall. Got another 10kg to go but it is almost a year out now so it goes very slow. I could not make the get together in Sydney but hope you all had fun.
    Keep in touch.

    Hi Lynette, sorry its been so long, I hope all is going well for you. Nearly lost 40 kilos, but the doctor thinks it should be more but still can say honestly do I notice the difference in me nah not really. Still wearing the same size tops but have fitted into pants 3 sizes smaller that I wore 10 years ago, everyone thinks I have new clothes but its just I can fit into them now lol. Sgtill have major issues getting meats down, soups, stews chinese go down fine but chops, steak chicken no way. I love cruskits no probs with those, was lost 7 kilos this month was so pleased. I weigh in every 2 weeks at the doctors, still need dilatations but have been putting the next one off just cant be bothered to go into hospital. I think because I am never hungry no hungar pains whatso ever there is no motivation to eat, so I find eating such a chore. Although I do like Mcdonalds hot apple pie no probs eating that but cant eat anything else from there at all, sometimes will have the fillet of fish but leave the bun. But I am getting there, its all trial and error, it just comes back up if it doesnt sit well. Again apologies for not writing sooner but time just is flying by, my grandaughter who is 12 lives with me now and and my son and wife are expecting another boy in 5 weeks which will be lovely. Sharon is looking awesome, and doing so well, crotcheted some baby face flannels for her. take care talk soon.

    Hi Lynette
    I haven't been on the site for months. How are you going? I am loving the new slimmer version of myself except for the saggy tummy, tuckshop arms and wobbly inner thighs. Sitting at a nice Size 12 on the bottom, but sometimes can buy a Size 10 for the top, depending on the brand.
    Haven't been back to the Dr since early Dec12, still hardly weigh myself these days as I just go on how my clothes feel. My hair is still falling out and I am very thin and fine on top, it is a little distressing every now and then. But I am not going to pursue any medication or lotions or potions for it. Apparently, it is normal and it will grow back.
    I still have trouble eating anything quite solid, like steak, chops, sandwiches. I have to take tiny weeny bites and it seems to take forever, so I just avoid them. I have a Optifast shake daily, skim cappuccino and some fruit, then maybe abit of salad with tuna, fish cakes, or bolognese without the pasta, so softer foods. And sometimes I forget to eat.
    But I tell you what I have noticed more than anything over the months, how happy, calm and relaxed I feel. Is it having more confidience, more self esteem, a sense of well being. I am not sure, but I am certainly in a much better place in my head than ever before. So I hope you are loving your new body and feeling as wonderful as myself.

    Hi lynette, sorry it has been so long, my life has gone back to the usual everyday craziness, running around with 2 little boys everyday and working 3 days/nights a week. Things are going well, am feeling much better on puréed/soft foods. Had a stall from day 8 for two weeks but just weighed myself this morning and have lost 2.5kg in 3 days! Thanks so much for your support and reassurance, it is very much appreciated. How are you doing?

    Hi Lynette
    Just made a post on our Sydney Meet Up group. I have been stuck in Singapore for two days as on stand by and now on tonight's flight, so won't be able to make the meet up. I am so disappointed, been looking forward to it.
    Maybe, you and I can get together sometime for a coffee and tiny weeny bite to eat! Hope you have fun.

    Hi Lynette back into hospital next week for another gastroscopy and dilatation, but this time have to pay for the anaesthetic and I dont know how as I still havent received my refund from the health benefit fund from the sleeve yet, not happy rang them again twice this week. They have sent it to medicare then they have to send it back to the health fund and then they send it to me what a stuff around. So may have to cancel if its too much over. Not getting in much protein maybe 15-20gms a day and only doing about 350calories a day, just cant get any more down no matter how hard I try. An ex boyfriend died last tuesday from a brain tumour very sad saw him in pallative care thursday and he was so pleased to see me and again on monday morning and thought then he wouldnt see the weekend but he died early tuesday morning. Sowill go to the funeral friday. Other then that how are you? why to naughty foods go down so well and anything crunchy does as well and meats etc dont have a chance of going down. Veges soft with cheese sauce arent too bad but it all is so boring. Oh well hope your weight loss is going well, have to get this kid to school take care Lynette.

    I had no intentions of saying anything on Facebook - most of my friends on there dont know either. Not my business to bring it up publicly I got tester strips today and my sugar was 8.8 an hour after some hot chips lol Will see in the morning what its like on a fast. I have started taking pre-natal vitamins on top of my normal ones as it can take a year to conceive at my age - knowing me it will! If i fall b4 12 months well i will manage somehow, others have.

I am also very scared of lots of loss skin. On one of the sits they had pic's and it scared me, is this true or can exercise help with this. I hope it is ok to ask this ,

    Hi Lynette
    Haven't been on for awhile, been working really hard and now overseas.
    However, will be back in time for the Meet Up. Could you email me on akeeble@live.com, as I seem to have a lot of trouble with staying logged in on this site.
    Have no idea how much I have lost, but going slowly and feeling so much better. Had my bloods taken and everything is great, except cholesterol, but has come down significantly.
    Hope you are going well and hope to hear from you soon.

    HI Lynette, I am doing heaps better this week no nausea at all, I dont think everyone realises how I am feeling nearly normal and with that I am eating better. I just had a egg fried in my non stick pan and some black pudding nice and soft and a cruskit for breaky. Had a mango last night and curried egg on cruskits, so starting to try food again, I think it was the nausea that made me not want to eat. So maybe I am going to be fine I couldnt see it before but now I can so at the moment all is good. Dont think I can manage to eat out though which is a shame as I wont make your xmas do, but promise I will make the next one I should be well on my way to eating normal by then. Dr Talbot hasnt set me any goals in fact he doesnt even mention any weight loss to me, its like he didnt do any sort of weightloss surgery, maybe he thinks I will never make it thin I dont know although I do know my choices of food have to be better now I am eating. I have never been a lover of fish grilled or tuna so will have to find some receipes to have. Anyway hope you are well and the weight is falling off you , didnt see Sharron this week her driveway is to steep for me to get down with my knees, plus never know when she is working, she brought me some up and go shakes last visit which was so kind of her she is looking great, such a difference.

    Hi Lynette well I dont know saw Dr Talbot friday and he wants me on zofran but he didnt have his authority pad with him so told me to go to the doctor, after waiting an hour and a half she said no it can be only given to cancer patients great so still have some nausea but I think its getting better cross fingers. But he wants me up there for another gastroscope this friday or next he wants me to have them regularly for awhile to do a dilation. He thinks my stomach or whats left keeps dialtating and he has to stretch it for awhile and it may be 9-12 months before things settle. Also wants me to go on antidepressants mainly due to how stressfull this is but I dont know feel I take enough tablets. But have been eating a little more like quiche and tried 2 fish cocktails yesterday so thats something and can eat a container of sweet corn chicken soup, I know there isnt much bulk in that but still good to eat. But still stuck on whether I can find something to eat out, my son went to an italian place and I declined didnt think I would find much to eat but more worried if I vomit it up it comes up so quickly didnt want to throw up at the table not a good look lol. So how are things going for you you need to change your photo down to what you weigh now, ut I love your nail polish should be able to put some on my toes soon which is a big deal. Talk soon

One week out tommorrow

by Lynette Gee on 08-26-2012 at 11:54 PM
One week out wow the past week flew by, I got to the hospital about 7.00am, I was told I scheduled for theatre mid morning but to be honest I'm not sure I fell asleep in the waiting bay and woke up in my room lol I have absolutely no memory other then a few words to my surgeon in the waiting area n the anaethesist popping in the cannula. None of this counting backwards from ten, I didn't even get a look in at the theatre or a nurse. So I wake up n I'm hooked to a I'V the pain reliever is connected

It's time for a change......

by Lynette Gee on 07-20-2012 at 04:01 AM
I've been feeling low the last couple of days so my food tracking went off track as did my will power. But I've learnt from it and realized how much I turn to food for comfort only to feel much worse later on once I have gotten over the binge. I went through this when I first stopped drinking coke I was soooo addicted to it I drank at least 6 litres a day and seemed to drink more then what I ate and could understand why I was putting on so much weight I was drinking a whopping 2,580 calories just

Like a squirrel hoarding it's nuts

by Lynette Gee on 07-06-2012 at 06:40 AM
So lately I've bin stopping by the shops looking for things I may need Post Op. So every time I go to the shops I buy a few things here and a few things there. But those few things have accumulated to a lot of things ...so much so that my cupboards are full and overflowing. I think that I'm over doing it because I'm on the pre op diet, so Whenever I see food I buy it and probably won't even use it all this is I guess is comfort shopping.
