I was sleeved on Friday and I'm 3 days post-op. I flew to the Gold Coast to have my sleeve done and arrived back in Sydney last night. My first 2 days were pretty rough as I was in a lot of pain and discomfort. I couldn't drink the Soup or juice. I just sipped on the Water and sucked on ice. Day 3 I've had all the Soup they gave me and Water. No pain whatsover and wounds are healing fantastic. Definately have lost all apetite which is what I expected.
Why did I go to the Gold Coast to do my surgery? Well the simple reason was my surgeon here in Sydney raised the out-of-pocket fees $1600 in a year. From $4200 to $5800 and after waiting a year for my private health insurance to kick in I was guttered. In the end I found Dr Liew and I only paid $650 out-of-pocket fees. He's an amazing Doctor.

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 ????

Fantastic results Ray, that's incredible. You must be feeling great. I was over the shakes pre op let alone face them now. Im missing that crispy sound when biting into something. I sat and watched the fam munching on their meat and veggies in ore tonight, as I slurped down my puréed chicken casserole.....almost brings a tear to my eye thinking about it. Keep us posted on your weight lose, I love hearing people success stories.

Hi Skinnyme43,
Yesterday wasn't the best day for me either. I had 1/2 a shake for Breakfast but thought I'd clever and add some yogurt just to boost up the Protein BIG MISTAKE! I don't know if I drank to much too quick but the effects weren't pretty! I slept most of the day and only managed about 600mls of Water. Feeling lots better today and have almost sipped down a bottle of Water. I have a batch of chicken and mushroom Soup on as we speak which smells delicious. Still can't gauge this tummy thing, if I'm eating enough or not enough. I feel sleepy all the time Zzzz

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?

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.
