Been a while since I posted but have been watching others progress and enjoyed reading how people are going.

I'm stuck around the 120kg mark at the moment just need to lose another 300g and I'll be down 15kg...woohoo..

Started Mushies on Wednesday and decided to only have it 1 meal a day. I'm still enjoying the opti and not feeling hungry at all.
I do get my head telling me I'm hungry every time something nice comes on the TV but my tummy says no..lol

Hi All, went for my first post op appointments on Wed to see the clinical nurse and dietitian.
All the wounds are healing nicely and they were both pleased with my weight loss so far. Day of op 129.5 Day of appointment 119.5...10kg

The dietitian asked about excerise and I told him I'm doing at least 40min per day often twice that with riding and walking. He also asked if i was feeling hungry and I said not at all.
I mentioned if I would need a fill at my next appointment and he said if I kept up with this weight loss and excerise and was not getting hungry I would'nt need one.

I so wanted to drop 20kg before our Thailand trip in July, that would of meant I was around 115kg. But now I'm so close to that goal I'm going to try for 100kg...(might be optamistic but yet achievable)..

I'm so glad I have made this decision and so proud of my wife Monica as she has lost 10kg buy eating the same portion size as me and excecising with me (sometimes more).

Cheers Rob

Hi Rob,
Congratulations to both you and your wife. It seems like you are handling it nicely.
I hope when I join the club next month, I will be as successful as you seem to be.
Keep up the great work, it's good to get a male perspective on the whole deal.
Regards,
Martin.

well I had my first appointment with the surgeon today, she was well impressed that since I had surgery I have lost 13,5kg.
Exactly 1 month from the op. She said I didn't need a fill and wanted to see me in a months time.

Almost 20kg from the pre band opti stage 7 weeks ago....woohoo

Went to Target today because all my 6XL and 7XL tops are to big for me and managed to walk out of there with 4XL sized tops. Got a pair of shorts as well and now from 3XL down to a pair of XL.. I'm almost human again...lol

I hope everyone else is travelling well and keeps up the good work
