  3. How are our August sleevers going? I had my surgery last Tuesday and feel fantastic already. Spent 3 nights in hospital and had drip and 2 horribly drains, but that was the worst of it. No shoulder pain from gas. Everything else was a breeze. Still on fluids for another week. Some dull pain ad lts of gurgling noises from sleeve when i drink, but this is getting less and less each day. Getting about 2 litres of liquid in daily. Would love to hear how everyone else s going.

  5. Hi Alex, are you in Brisbane. Maybe you should join our Attention Aussie Sleevers thread. I am in Brisbane too and am having my sleeve done by Dr Copp at St Andrews Private in Ipswich on Tuesday. The final countdown has begun. How did you go with the liquid stage?

  7. I am also on August 14 and am 4 days into my per op diet. What are you having? I am on 3 Optifast shakes a day, unlimited non starchy vege & salad, 1 cup berries and diet jelly, tea, coffee (no milk)
  8. Yes Umi, I am a bit nervous, but information helps and I have learnt a lot on this site. Great to be able to talk to other sleevers. Are you doing 2 week prep? What's your date? Where are you?
  9. Hi, I am getting sleeve in Brisbane Australa on 14 August. Starting pre op diet today.
  10. Good luck Tracy, we will probably be about the same time. I get my sleeve on 14 August in Brisbane Australia and start pre op Optifast diet today. I am very happy i chose to have a sleeve over a bad. Just too many negatves with a band for my liking. This is a great site as we are all going through the same thing. Keep us posted on your progress.
