Hi everyone, thought it would be a good chance to reach put to people out there who are having their sleeve done in October. Mine is on the 29th & I have been planning this for 12 months. Good friends of mine had it done with fantastic results do that when I decided to join a health fund & as we know you need to wait 12 months other wise I would have done it by now. Stats are: Age 43, height 4/11, weight 106kg Feeling excited to start so starting on Monday I'm going to start taking the Optifast for Breakfast then after a couple of weeks included lunch the dinner. I have two young boys full on energy & would love to do more with them but I'm always feeling too tired. I'm having my surgery at St George private in Sydney. Hope we can help each other along on a journey to a fitter more healthier lifestyle.

Welcome to the club, just take it slow you still have weeks ahead of you before to go back to solids so don't rush it.

Hi Ray, Your results are fantastic, your definitely reaping the rewards now, keep up the good work & don't lose sight of the bigger picture a fitter, healthier & slimmer you ????

Hello MooCow4 how are you feeling? I struggled with my water after you left I guess I didn't have anyone to gauge my progress. Missed out on dinner last night but have decided that today is a new day so I'm going to make some soup today, have you made any soup yet?

do you want to swap????? All the best to you, I'm sure I'll see you at some stage x

MooCow4 just called the hospital for my time, need to be there at 8am...

Hi Ray, I wish I had of done more research regarding cost as I'm definitely out of pocket $$$$. But in saying that I'm happy with the surgeon I've chosen Dr Kozinkovas, I've heard good things. Good news your feeling well & on to the next chapter of your life.

Question What are you guys planing to have on the liquid diet after surgery?

I've been OK! I prepared & sat through a beautiful BBQ for the family yesterday. It was hard smelling that food & not being able to eat any of it, but I'm keeping my mind on the bigger picture. I don't have a time yet but they told me I should hear from them by 1pm tomorrow. I'm working till Tuesday just trying to keep busy preparing meals & things for the family whist I'm away.

Just 3 days to go MooCow4 how are you travelling?

tomorrows the day JFizz21, all the best with the surgery, I look forward to hearing how it all goes.

in the 29th, good luck everyone ????

Hi Jen, All the best on your surgery day ????

I'm the 29th as well. Went for my pre-admission today which went well. I have been on Optifast since 1st October & lost 4.5kg so feeling optimistic for the future. At this point I just can't wait to get it done..happy days ahead ????

My op's not till 29th October so I've decided to start on Monday having it just for breakfast for a couple of weeks then bring in lunch & dinner as I get closer. I think trying to go all out will only make it harder for me.

My ops on the 29th Oct, still a way to go but can't wait.
