    Hey, jut got your message, really slack on the forums now, I suppose we get to a point where it all starts repeating. I'm 45 kg down (99 pounds). Down to a size 20 (be about a 18 in US sizes). Yes I am 'doing' a very hot Aussie guy lol Been slack on the exercise over Christmas, but getting back into it soon.
    You look fantastic, I suppose I should update my profile picture too. Inbox me your email account. I check that way more often than the forum. xx

    The soreness is where they removed the stomach. I have a lot of problems sleeping. Sometimes if I turn over quickly at night it feels like a knife going through me. I'm in a lot of pain today on the inside of my stomach but I know it's from being at work all day and I get lay back and rest. Thanks with the info. Hopefully week 4 will be better

    Hi Sleeve Sister
    I was wondering how you are feeling and doing? I'm still really sore in my stomach and I was wondering if you were too. I just called into my Dr. About it because I haven't read anyone else saying anything about it. I feel like something is pulling hard in the inside stomach area.

    GIDDAY.... sorry couldn't resist
    At the moment I'm really bummed, Just totally pigged out on Turkish bread and dips. Hospital still haven't confirmed my date. My weekend social plans got cancelled. Plus that time of month (probably the main cause of all the rest). You did ask LOL.
    Think I'm more anxious about when the surgery is than the actual process. Because it's now public (meaning free through the Australian Medicare system), I don't have the luxury of setting my own date, or choosing my own doctor or hospital. I suppose I can't complain I am saving $16,000 this way.
    Congrats on your surgery. Looking forward to hearing about how its all going.
    Hugh Jackman = yummy. Don't really notice his accent. hahaha. The worse Aussie accents is when they get an American or English actor to play an Australian on TV in the states. (makes me cringe). Some Aussie actors you can't even tell they originated from here. like Simon Baker(The Mentalist), Poppy Montgomery(Unforgettable), Jess Spencer(House) or Ryan Kwanten(True Blood).
    Just realised the time, 3.40am. Better get some shut eye.

    Ha! Yes, it does... the wind is wonderful and makes my heart happy. Where I live, which is not in the plains..lol, the wind is still pretty strong this time of year. I LOVE it.

    56 days until surgery, I think. I cannot wait.

    How are you?

15 months :)

by kaukaiwa1977 on 07-05-2013 at 11:20 AM
So yesterday I was watching the MTV series Catfish. Now if you've never seen the show, it's a reality series regarding online dating and validating identities. People submit videos asking for help discovering the true identity of their online loves. Of course everyone lies....from men pretending to be women and friends screwing other friends over.

Yesterday's episode really got to me, because I totally identified with both people. This guy was dating a man in another state "online".

6.5 months out

by kaukaiwa1977 on 10-20-2012 at 09:33 AM
I remember April 2nd as if it were yesterday....laying in pre-op praying that my surgeon didn't attend a kegger the night before, a little anxious, nervous and most of all excited for the change that was about to take place.

My recovery was frightening. Waking up with a tube down your throat, nurses telling you not to bite down on it and to try to relax. I just remember that choked feeling and pointing to my mouth groaning and salivating everywhere. That situation was the worst yet

Patience and time.

Two things I either hoard or have very little of. August 2nd will be my 4 month surgiversary. It feels good to have achieved significant weight loss. 44lbs since my date of surgery and 64lbs since my heaviest weight during my presurgery dietician visits.

I remember in May I went through a 4 week stall. I was so heartbroken. Afraid I had somehow ruined my stomach and my goals even without action. Envious of others who just suddenly jumped into a routine, losing 5, sometimes even

Eating just isn't what it used to be....

by kaukaiwa1977 on 05-10-2012 at 03:51 PM
May14th marks my 6 week surgiversay date!

Now I am following a 3 meal food plan per my dietician and surgeon . While in the beginning I prayed for this day to get here, now that it is I struggle with it. I can eat once and be good for the rest of the day ( 4 oz of protein only) The fluid rules are always challenging at first but that's not even the issue as to why Im not eating what i need. I just don't feel like it! Whenever I do I feel so tired afterwards. Chichken tastes like

Stalling so soon?!?

by kaukaiwa1977 on 04-16-2012 at 08:19 AM
Today is my 2 week surgiversay ! So far I've lost about 15lbs.....in the first 8 days and since then, i haven't lost a thing. In fact my weight fluctuates from 238 to 240. It's like my body just refuses to let go! Lol.

Seriously though I'd like some advice. The only thing I really struggle with is the qty of protein in my diet. I can get down about 40 grams but I need to be at 60. I don't always get my full 64 oz of fluid in, more like 56 ( not including protein) i have now introduced
