G'day Tracie,

In my experience, women are much harder on themselves and each other than they really deserve. I saw a cartoon recently which showed the difference between what men and women see in...

G'day April's Grace and welcome aboard. It's great to see you've done so much research because although everybody's journey is different, you are less likely to be troubled by little bumps in the...

G'day Mojojo,

I never thought I'd be posting on a sleeve forum either. You get so much information from the forum that you really need to add to it to help others with their questions. All the...

G'day Courtney,

We prayed downunder for him. How is he going in these early days?

My initial view was that a person should be an adult with a history of failing at everything else who then has an assessment, training and support from a counsellor recommending that there is a...

G'day Shulismus,

Thanks for sharing your story. Although it is slightly different for all of us, it is really helpful to read how you chose, for those who are still deciding. For those of us...

G'day Catwood,

Most people I have told like the results but they tend to think it is bit drastic. Well it is. So is high blood pressure, heart attacks, diabetes etc. If we could have lost...

G'day Pinkdaisy2,

It's all good advice above and it is smart of you to realise the risk. Although you will only have a small stomach, you could still eat an unhelpful amount of sweets. The...

G'day Brian,

Scotty you are a legend. Having been on the plateau for a few months myself your news is excellent advice.

G'day Mary,

Welcome to the site and to the gastric sleeve family. Your doctor and dietician etc will ensure you know what to do and there is great support on this forum. Everyone's journey is...

Hi Mystic,

Welcome to what I think was the hardest part of the process. The only comfort is that what ever makes the surgery easier has got to be a good thing. Unlike some yummy meal replacement...

G'day Melinda,

Congratulations on your decision to change your life and welcome to the site.

That's interesting to hear. I didn't experience either cravings or change in taste. Hey Mommabear, for me the bubbles are just a bit uncomfortable and I generally can't eat anything until they're...

Congratulations on your results so far. Some people struggle to even tell their families so to have support like that from your sister is very special.

cheers

Grover

G'day LantanaLady,

not everyone ends up with lots of extra skin and I have to agree with the comments above. Extra skin can be dealt with (covered up or removed) but it doesn't threaten our...

G'day Gal, all the best for tomorrow.

All though we are from many countries, I thought there might be value in sharing information about any products which we may have found useful (or not).

For example we all use scales but from my...

G'day All,

The link below is to a website (Body for Life) that some of you may be familiar with. Personally I have found that the advice, tools, and training programs available through the...

G'day ******,

I don't know much more about using the forum than how to post a reply. Can you please tell me the maximum size or preferred size for an image which is to be used in a post?

Hi Callie,

Good advice from Tiffany Joe. There are all sorts of things which impact on our daily weight. Plateaus and small increases are normal as long as the overall trend is downwards. When...
