Well done to you! what an achievement. It is so heartening to hear others doing so well. It is indeed terrific to hear that your journey is so positive. I am also so happy with how I am doing. ...

Hi Ben
Welcome aboard!!
I was fortunate to have friends with medical and dietary backgrounds whom stepped me through the process and have guided me post surgery.
As with others here my only regret...

Well done to you!!
It is indeed the most wonderful feeling - and I totally recognise that "glow" you talk about. A few weeks ago I went into a dress store - not a big girls store - and was...

Hi All, I was sleeved on the 19 Nov and am down 22Kgs!! Since Christmas it has felt like the loss has been slow - however when I looked back on my diary notes I have averaged about 1.8 kgs a week. ...

Jeana I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I had my sleeve only recently, the main reason being that I had a stroke. The only thing that made me a high risk for another stroke was my weight. My...

I absolutely agree with the other posts here. I have also been in a bit of a stall for it seems two weeks. However, I can see that the inches are moving and that is encouraging. The only time it...

Great post Luann. I am also in my 50's (cannot believe I confessed that lol) and just a few minutes ago had one of the ladies in the office tell me that I am looking amazing. She also told me that...

I know how you feel. It is so inspirational to look at peoples before and after photos. Im still a bit in disbelief that my body and face is changing as I am losing weight. I keep on wanting to...

Hi Lori Welcome!! This is the best place to be for support, ideas and sharing of information. You have made a great decision to improve your health and your life. Personally the decision to get...

Stacy you look amazing!!! I only hope that I can do as well as you. Congratulations and thanks for sharing your picture - this is inspirational for so many, myself included. I started my journey...

Welcome! Its such an wonderful feeling to be losing the weight for once and all. I am still pinching myself as I am watching the real me emerge. I too was fed up with the yo yo of my weight. ...

What a wonderful way to start a holiday. It makes the adventure all that more enjoyable. Hope you have a great time - keep laughing it is good for your soul.

Welcome and good luck. This will be such a life changing decision for you - all for the good of your health and life. Well done!

Hi Debbi
Welcome! I'm fairly new to all of this too and can confirm that I have not looked back. My family and friends are all commenting about how happy and healthy I look - and I feel it too!!...

What fantastic progress you are making! Its really inspirational seeing how well everyone goes :)

Well done Katherine! Its the beginning of our new lives and isnt it fantastic.
Must have felt so good for you to achieve this, congratulations. :)

I am so happy that the scales actually are moving down - I have not eaten to excess a first for me at Christmas and I feel so good for it.
I had a little turkey and the veges - no dessert!! My big...

Hi Jennifer
My surgery date is the same as yours and I also had been not losing weight for the past two weeks. I stuck it out and over the last couple of days the scale is moving again. I have...

Hi Terry
thanks for the support. We always have a big day at our house, my husband is a chef - say no more! I'm going to try my best to stick to the plan on Christmas Day. Good luck to you and...

This will be my first Christmas sleeved and I'm a bit daunted by having everyone over for the first time to celebrate with all the food and trimmings. Any handy hints out there?

Hi there
I'm also from Perth, had my surgery 4 weeks ago and have not looked back. Had my sleeve done at SJOG Subiaco and was so well looked after.
Good luck with your journey.

You are an inspiration!! Thanks for sharing. We went on a 4 day break last week and actually went and used the gym facilities every day. I still did not feel like I was deprived of anything. ...

Congratulations to you. I'm only fairly new to the group, had my surgery 4 weeks ago. I am happier than I have been for a long time - the weight is coming off and I am inspired to move more.
