You look great!

I was also sleeping on my stomach before the op and now I hold a cushion in front of me when I sleep it really helps:)

Good luck to all getting sleeved this week:)

Hi all 6 days post-op and doing well - eating puréed food now and don't find it that bad , having yoghurt/weetbix/apple sauce for breakfast. Puréed chicken and a little tomatoe soup/ ham hock for lunch and SE for dinner. Water has become easier. Loving that I don't feel ravenous anymore and get full so easily takes 1/2 cup to fill me. No more pain meds - doing breathing exercise -my chest does feel tight though. Hope my update helps.

I am a child psychologist. My weight affects play therapy, assessments and confidence. I can't wait to be agile again.

You have done so well:)

Prayers please 3:34 am, pre-op in 3 hours the rest of the journey is beginning:)

Good luck for today, it'll all be good!

I find it really interesting that the most hurtful comments about my weight have been made by the medical profession, as if they feel its their duty to shock you into losing it. Many have no empathy and I would love to put them in my shoes!

On Pre-op diet gonna be a long 14 days:)

Hi I'm from New Zealand too - formally from South Africa but been in New Zealand for 4 years now - being sleeved on 6 August (Dr Babor). Excited and Nervous:)

Been on Optifast for two days and starving:(

Hi there Christian ladies - the one dilema I have is the whole issue of self-control. Would God want me to have the operation - I feel like if one of the fruits of the spirit is self control I should have it and I feel like I have failed in some way - cause I lack control over food:(

Thinking of you - good luck for surgery:)

Me too also worried and scared and hoping I do the right thing

I'm having mine on 6/8 have started today trying to drink 2 l of water , walk 45min and drink 3 protein shakes a day - hungry:(

Starting my Optifast diet today???? thought I would start in the weekend, to make it easier????here goes - the beginning of the rest of my life!
