Look at you :D you look fabulous. What an achievement!!
I know it's hard to stop the addiction. It's the head hunger that's winning. You don't really need that food it's just old habits. Your stomach is so swollen from the op that eating this way could...
Don't be so hard on yourself :) you are doing great. Try to be patient this is a gradual thing. We are so focused on the scales that sometimes it does our head in counting grams and kilograms. Your...
Hello my fellow Kiwi. Congrats you did it. Definitely don't hurry with consistency of foods. Stick with your surgeons plan. The staple line is still very swollen and takes weeks to settle down....
Hello my fellow kiwi. Don't fret about the weight. My 2nd week was the same no loss at all but into the 3rd I started to lose again. My husband keeps saying not to weigh myself all the time and he is...
Blah blah blah...... that's all I read. I switched off after the first couple of sentences. To post what you have is ignorance and down right disrespectful to those of us who have already had the...
Thank you for such a beautiful and encouraging post.
My name is Jadine and I am a food addict.
I have a dent too and the incision is still tender 3 weeks post op. Because that's the largest incision and where the stomach was taken out it takes longer to heal. Maybe the dent will go away in...

Hi. I'm 4 days out from surgery and for the first couple of days I thought what the hell have I done? I wanted to take it back and cried which of course really hurt. I just wanted to die but, it...
I absolutely love this idea. I'm 4 days post op and feel that I am grieving my relationship with food. I'm going to write a letter. Thanks for this.
Hi there. My surgery is March 12th as well. I am excited about the change ahead. How are you feeling?
Hi. I haven't had surgery yet. Date was changed to 12th March so, I'm almost there. On pre op diet at the mo. Thanks for the message. I'll keep you posted.
You are so funny :D
Mine are:
Not worrying that when I sit in a chair its going break
My body not jiggling when I try (emphasis on TRY) to run
Being able to squeeze through that gap I once...
Hi Tatiana. Glad to see you have a surgery date of the 21st of march :) I am booked for the 5th of march and have started my pre op diet using optifast and veges. I went and saw the dietitian today...

Hi there. Nice to find a fellow kiwi on here. I'm from N.Z as well. Up in Auckland and having surgery 3rd of March 2014. How did everything go with your surgery and where are you at 3months down the...
