Great story! Thanks for sharing! Great inspiration for newbies like me.

Hi Merry. I am from Southwest area close to Homebush. M happy with my progress so far. Need to lose 6 kilos more to reach my goal by next month which is also my next appointment with my surgeon and dietitian. My workmates were surprised as I had only been away for my 6 weeks leave but have lost nearly 10kilos. I feel much lighter and happier now. Hope to lose a bit more in the next few weeks/months.

Hi everyone. I am from Sydney. It's my 1st month sleeversary today!!! I feel great, able to tolerate food quite well but easily gets full though.

Hello everyone. Got sleeved 1st of July 2014 in Sydney. Starting weight was 206, current weight of 184. I am 5 foot 6, post op week 4. I am a bit concerned too as I weighed myself 27/7 and was down to 82.6kilos (181.72lbs), weighed again today and was up to 84kilos (184.8lbs). Is this normal? I am afraid I won't be able to lose more as I feel that I can tolerate more food now but I easily get full. Any advice and tips there pls?

Hi there. I'm from Sydney and got sleeved on the 1st of July at St. George Private by Dr. Ken Loi. I am looking for fellow support sleevers as well.

Has anyone tried Slim n Trim from Aldi? Tastes lot better than the Optifast milkshake.

Just got sleeved last week, 1st of July 2014 at St.George Private by Dr. Ken Loi. He is amazing!

Same thing here. Got sleeved 1st of July and felt terribly hungry after discharged from hospital. My dietitan said I can start on a puree diet 6days post op but tried a few soft solids already which were very difficult to swallow (as expected) then started feeling really sick and weak. I still feel hungry after a few hours though and just couldn't help it. I'm trying to keep my fluids up as well. Any other tips on how I can get over this hunger phase? I started off at 93.8kg pre-op with BMI of 35, goal of 75kg in a few months. I am scared of getting the sleeve stretched and putting weight back on but the sleeve is my only hope and I don't regret doing it. Peace!

Had mine last week, 1st of July. I didn't do my pre-op diet at all and never tried Optifast as I was told 2 weeks before the operation. Had terrible pain on my 1st night inspite of the PCA that I had. Pain became manageable after an added dose of IV pain meds. Got discharged 4th of July.

Waiting to be transferred to the operating theatre!!!

So nervous I haven't started my optifast diet and I'm booked for my 1st of July surgery here in Sydney.

Hi there. I'm curious about the pre-op diet. Cant wait to get instructions from my nurse and dietitian on Monday! Is it just a pure liquid diet for the next 2 weeks prior to the procedure?

I am getting sleeved on the 1st of July, from Sydney here. My next appointment will be on Monday, 16th of June which is 2 weeks before the surgery. I only took a good 4-week annual leave from work and a short 2-night holiday on the 11th of july post op so good luck to me. Yaayyy..

Hello everyone! I'm from Sydney. My surgery date is on the 1st of July. I will be having my 2nd appointment on Monday, 16th of June. Haven't actually started eating healthy. I'm a bit nervous that I may not be able to do the pre-op diet but I gotta be positive that I can do it.
