Unfortunately, bitches don't discriminate between fat and thin, big or small, pretty or ugly etc. Comments like the one your co-worker made, often stem from jealousy! A lot of people say nasty...

Congrats on your loss!

I am 172cms tall but I have a heavy frame which makes the 73kgs seem heavier that it is. There isn't a lot of meat on my bones if that makes sense. I am happy with the way...

Seriously, I understand where those who are saying "I wish I had that probelm" are coming from, but if you did you would not be excited. There are just as many health implications with being too...

Do you have any suggestions on which one I would use?

At the risk of sounding ungrateful, I am struggling to stop my weight loss! I reached my goal a couple of months ago, and I am still losing weight and quite quickly. I don't exercise very much, but...

Yes I am definitely taking in the protein required. I don't have protien shakes, as they tend to make me feel ill but I eat a lot of protien throughout the day.

Thanks for the feedback Guys :D

I have found that 7 months down the track I am having some issues with my health.

I have not been told to increase my food intake or that what I am eating is incorrect, yet I have managed to lose...

Hey there,

I am an Aussie and my pre and post op instructions were...

Pre op 2 weeks Optifast (diet sulppliment shakes).
Post surgery diet:
Three days clear liquid - broth, cordial and tea...

You may be feeling thristy rather than hungry. I find that if I constantly drink fluids (water, tea, cordial) I never have that "empty" feeling. Many people mistake thirst for hunger. Try having a...

I think telling them the truth is the way to go! If people ask I just tell them ... they are going ot notice the changes soon enough. I have found that I haven't been judged or anything, people are...

Oooh la la nice dress :D

I would really like to be able to shop at Country Road ... I love there clothes and haven't been able to shop there for years! Hopegully this summer will be the season!

I was questioning it right up until I went under I think ... but it's just cold feet :D If I had backed out when I thought about it, I wouldn't be as happy as I am today! You'll be fine, it's not as...

That all depends on where you live and how far you want to go ... If I had the choice I would definitely got to New York for new year :D Failing that, anywhere my family & friends are will do!

I used a product called Optifast. It was a meal replacement for all 3 meals per day. Apparently there is enough in each shake to fulfil your daily vitamin and nutrition needs (I also used these to...

Hey there,

I have recently had the sleeve and I am privately insured with HCF. They were great! They covered my hospital stay, 1/2 the cost of the sleeve and 1/2 the anethatist. But of course...

I have noticed this a lot! I find that I haven't budged on the scales but the pants I wore last week don't fit me this week. That's what keeps me going! I have never been a believer in weight as an...

I too am a PCOS and the biggest reason I had the sleeve was because of the weight I had gained due to the PCOS! It's a great feeling losing weight and not having to kill yourself at the gym to do it!...

WOW $500 seems like a lot of money. Funnily enough, I didn't have to have a psych evaluation. I was asked of I had a history of depression and that was about as far as they went in terms of my...

Hey there!

The moment that you realise that it is worth everything and more!

I had a moment this afternoon as I came home from work and got into my walking clothes. I put my running shoes on...

After having the surgery and seeing the quick results that I am getting I would receommend this surgery to anyone who is thinking about it! I am 3 weeks pot op and 13 kgs lighter with no signs of...

YAY for my personal cheersquad! I have already learnt so much just from reading people's posts. Good Luck with your procedure and I look forward to sharing your journey with you :D

Sure I can help out with the recipes ... I had a lot of things with lentils :D I too love Australia, but sadly have not really travelled the world yet. It's on my list of things to do once I am slim!...

I was also allowed as much non starchy vegetables I could eat while I was on the fluid diet so my 2 weeks pre op wasn't too bad compared to what others are going through. The bit I missed was bread...

Oh I forgot ... Cordial! (Diet variety of course) I took my own cordial to mix with the water... I found that drinking straight water was difficult to take, my stomach was cramping whenever I tried &...

I took whatever I thought would make me feel comfortable. A pillow so that I had something of my own to sleep with, slippers for walking around, a robe, jumper, toiletries, hair brush, book or...
