Hey Joanne, those losses are crazy good! I can't even imagine getting those kind of results but it would be mind blowing. I have literally no idea what I'd look like 8 and a half stone lighter. Well done on doing so great with it.
The milks been okay. I wouldn't wanna have to do it again in a hurry but like most things it's not as bad as imagined.
I think the slow eating thing is gunna be key but it's definitely not gunna come naturally! I can scoff things down like a gannet. The foamies sound pretty grim but it'll be a good indicator. Have you ever had dumping? Apparently it's still possible on a sleeve even though the chances are much lower. Really not keen for that. (Not that I'm planning to plough loads of crap in, I just heard of people that practically look at certain foods and get it)
I love your outlook on maintaining a balance as that's exactly where I'm coming from with it. I want the surgery to be a tool rather than a punishment! I've always eaten a decent mixture of the food groups but the problem has been portion size more than anything. I seem to have a limitless capacity.
Surgery is on Wednesday so it's finally just around the corner! x
Thanks Sandra, I'm really glad you're doing well after your sleeve. Save me a spot on that bench I'll be there soon! Hehe x
Much obliged everyone! Not much in the way of sleep but I feel energised enough! Will check in a bit later when it's all done. Losers bench here I come. x

Hey everyone just a quick update. Everything went well in theatre and I'm sleeved now! Unfortunately had a bad reaction to the fentanyl they gave me and went into some kind of respiratory shut down so was a bit of a strange day. What with being monitored every hour I've not slept great and am hoping to just go home to bed! A case of waiting for surgeon to get in and okay it now.
