Hi Lincky, good to hear from you. Today is my fourth week post op. I was able to almost finish 1/4 cup of home made chicken soup.., I had no discomfort, so feeling generally good!!!.,I'm struggling though with constipation .., any advise as what I should take?? Did you experience this? In thinking to have some oat in the morning..,, but I'm scared to eat it!!! By the time I finish my protein shake .,,I'm full already!!!

Hi linky, how you going? back home 5 days ago!!! Feeling really good an normal!!! Lost 10kg so far and happy about it!! Still on liquid diet , Protein shakes, optislim Soup ( can only have 1/8 a day!) , plain yogurt ( 1/8 a day) and 1 optislim shake a day. Taking all my Vitamins too... Water not doing so well 600ml a day!!!! I'm 3 weeks out today, my doctor want me on liquid for 4 weeks then gradually start eating food.., I'm scared to eat any thing...I'm enjoying my liquids!!! How you going Lincky? What's your progress ? How is your good intake? Are you able to eat much?

Hi Linky,Im feeling human again...I had a great day yesterday and today and feeling quite normal...was able to take in 60-70 g protein mixed with 400ml water. been sipping on it all day and just finished it about 2 hours ago. its nearly 10pm i wont have time to take in any more liquids....i also had 1x multi vitamis; 1x Iron and 1x Calcium. So feeling good in general beside a horrible headacke which has been wih me all day...i feel my head is so heavy; i dont know why. i also took an extra week off, so im still here in Casablanca, flying back home next Wednesday. things are getting better and i can see the light at the end of the tunnel....

Hi Linky , it's done!! I'm 5 days post op. had some complications as my sleeve twisted so I couldn't keep any thing down . Got out of the hospital yesterday a today Im feeling good . I don't feel 100% but I guess its normal . Struggling with my fluids intake, so I'm sure how I'm going to get in 1.5L a day. Tell me this will get easier !!!

Good on you Linky, 13kg is pretty good. My doctor said no pre op diet, but I though ill get started any way, got protein and optislim shakes today and they are not bad!!! I'm liking this...I can't wait to be on the looser 's side!!!

I'm July the 16th! All of the sudden it seems too far!! Can't wait! I ordered the chewable vitamins, protein shakes,..,I'm waiting , bring it on, want n be on the losers bench!!!!

Hi Linky, how you going? What's your progress ? Just curious.. I have ordered the vitamins, shacked ... Etc they are not here yet but I'm so excited !!!! Flying out on the 14th July ... Can't wait!

Thank you so much Linky...ll order tomorrow first thing

Thank you so much Linky..!!! Ill make sure i order every thing before i go so its all here and i don't have to worry about it when get back. Its funny....all of the sudden the 16 July seems very very far....i really cant wait,..! I still hope to hear from someone in Oz who did the surgery overseas and how they managed their flight back home...

Yeah...here is other one! 16th July is my date!! Can't wait!!!

Hi all, 16th July in my dates!!! Can't wait!! BMI almost 30; 175cm, 90kg

Hi all, counting the days too!! July 16th Will keep every one posted . Cheers

Cool, I will order some. One more question, the Vitamins and calcium are they pills? Can you swallow them or you need to crash them . I have been looking for chewable ones but couldn't find any. I just want to be prepared and order every thing before I go overseas... Thank you heaps for all the tips... Cheers

How about vitamins and protein? Taking any?

Hi linky, guess you would be on purée diet now...are you taking any vitamins? Protein? How is your water intake? Many people are saying they are finding hard to keep hydrated. As it it I always forgot drinking water, but I drink a lots of tea during the day...
