back home after a night in hospital, all is well. Only 2 glasses of apple juice in last 3 days. Back on optifast diet for 4 weeks, then the band which they have put in will be tightened and basically will have to have entree size meals after that.<br />
 Won't be weighing myself for a couple of weeks (my scales stop at 150kg) but will start exercise tomorrow.<br />

First point you're probably onto already: ease into the exercise. You've got a fair bit of stored energy in fat reserves, but will feel weak as a large, bald kitten <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Once you get going - well, see Noddy's Wesley Weight Management thread for inspiration!<br />
<br />
Second point: And this is for everyone - if you need a set of scales that go up to 150kg, you may also be forced into surgery! No offence big fellah :shifty: -

Dead right Nick, Was feeling stir crazy so suggested to the missus to go to Coogee for a walk, after 10 minutes was exhausted and in pain , so i think i should relax for a few days and get over the op. Played 18 holes on monday (all walked) , it is amazing what an op can take out of you.<br />
P.s.Star watch:My wife bought a pie (Garlo's pies)and in the shop were Billy Slater and Matt King from the Melbourne Storm. -
Mate, I'm off me chops on Bundy, Becks, and Cowboys (farewell for a bloke here at work) so I'm in bad shape too! <img src='http://www.daimenhutchison.com/invision/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /><br />
<br />
Aim for 120kg. I'll meet u there and head downwards... I hope. Fuck I'm fucked.... -
Just had my 14 day post op clinic, weight loss 6 kg since op and now i can go on a puree diet for the next 2 weeks before they close the band. still only meant to do very light exercise.

So you're down to 160? First goal reached.
<br />
<br />
Onward! -
Now down to 157.5 lost 3 kg since last Thursday (5 days). Lost 20 kg in 7 weeks so that is 1 less bag of cement i have to carry around. I still have to wait 14 days to my 1st band fill when the op will really kick in.<br />
My 40th is this weekend and have 5 mates coming over from NZ and a couple coming up from Melbourne , so 3 days of binge drinking are going to be very hard on the body as i haven't had a decent drink for a month but being on a liquid diet for that time will definitely help. -
Don't go too hard on the booze! Without preaching, you're going to have to make a lifestyle change with or without the operation to keep your weight down. Binge drinking is a really efficient way to put on weight.<br />
<br />
Moderation is the key, get pissed by all means but be sensible. -
mate - that's fantastic. Keep it up. Don't get too into the drink - your mates should understand.<br />
<br />
20kgs!! That's a lot. I've lost that and a little more since January and keep trying to relate it back to things. For instance its [b]two [/b] of my middle son (he weighs about 11kgs) and he's bloody heavy to carry.<br />

ahhhh NTA, I remember when you said that to me some months ago..... -
My timing for my 40th aint the best, but i got 100 people coming on Saturday night and only a few know i've had the op, so it will be very hard, especially as it takes me about 45 minutes to drink a bottle of beer ,the chances of getting blind are slim.<br />
 My skulling days are over ( i was very good at it) . I hope the boys will understand . I am only allowed 30mls per mouthful of liquid at a time so Tequila shots it is. -
Drinking piss is overrated anyway mate. I dont want to end up like an old dude with a judges nose and gout. Ive sunk a tonne of piss back in the day and do still go out on the piss once a month or so ( my kids put a stop to my heavy boozing weekends). Im almost ashamed to admit I quite often prefer a good coffee over a beer thesedays. Good luck with your recovery, sounds like you are doing great.

:nta True. The main issue I'm having lately is I go outside in the cold to do a workout, and Little Aussie comes with me. Then I get the speech from the Mrs about "Don't keep him out there too long, I don't want him getting sick". <br />
<br />
The solution is obviously to get a better wife :nta -

To put up with you?...i doubt it Nick....doubt it very very much.. :whistle:<br />
<br />
fbb good to hear you are serious about your health and obeying the 'rules'. Going to be a big test with your party coming up.<br />
Might pay to let a few more mates know whats going on so your not going to be pressured to drink up. -
I am losing 1.5kg per week , current weight is 154 kg. Would have been better but put on 2kg during the 3 day binge that was my 40th birthday - no regrets though.

Cheers Bart , i want to be about 140kg by the October long weekend in OZ (NRL grand final weekend), so after that will give Cyril a nudge for the heaviest bloke on the fern, unless he reads this and decides to drop a few himself. Doing 25 minutes a day , 5 days a week on bike and eating the equivilent of about 3 entree size meals a day.<br />
 If i eat to quick , it all comes back up after about 15 minutes of pain so am working hard to train myself to slow down. Plenty of failures so far , especially after having a beer or two, coming home and taking a couple of quick bites. It is a massive learning curve but am quite happy so far, giving myself 7/10 , with a "could do better".
