I am having my sleeve done on the 1st, I started by telling family and close friends! When I started telling friends at work (they will notice when I am not there and I decided it was easier to tell them than try make something up!) I was blown away by the support that I received! I have now told most people I know and am loving the support I am going to have during this process! I decided for me this was the best way and I am glad I did it this way, however it is everyone's own personal decision what to say!

Yeah I know little excited 9 sleeps for me in Australia! We have a very low calorie diet for our pre op diet so not as bad as the liquid diet!

Aussie girl thanks yeah was bummed for short period when heard my surgery slightly postponed but okay now just going to continue with pre op diet as I have just now it used to it and don't want to start again! Only like 10 days extra! Will only loose a little more weight before op! been 5 days now on pre op diet and lost 3kg! So I figure what I lose is only a benefit to me and reduces my anesthetic risk!

My surgery has been moved to the 1st of October now so little longer to wait but still excited at the prospect of what is to come!

Hi All,
So I held strong today! Lol I am now on day 5 of Pre op diet and went to the movies with hubby. He loves movie popcorn and he was going to pass for my sake but I convinced him I was fine for him to have it (he has been incredibly good about the diet and eating healthy with me - I'm so lucky!) anyway, while waiting to go up to the cinema I was looking at all the movie treats and my mind wondered to all the things I would normally get when at the movies - m&m's, choc top and a coke. Of course this makes u kinda want it lol anyway I held off and as we walked up the flight of stairs, then to our seats, I was totally puffed and out of breathe in that moment I knew I was making the right choice getting the sleeve! I don't want to be puffing up stairs any longer! I sipped on my Water and felt good about it! Xo

I think if you were not worried that would be abnormal it is 2weeks today till my op I am excited but also nervous! It is a big decision but also a very life changing one! Just stay positive that's what I am doing!

Hi I am new to this group I live in Melbourne and I have just got my date today for surgery on the 20th of September! Excited and nervous at the same time! Will be starting my pre op diet Saturday my doctor/ dietitian are happy for me to do the celebrity slim shakes as I have had success with them before and I cannot stomach the optislim ones! Really happy I found this app will make it easier having people who are going through same stuff here!
