  1. I had my VGS on December 14th and have been surprised at how quickly the pain went even when drinking. I am due to start puree on the 28th December next Monday. I have lost 15 kgs since starting the liquid diet in the weeks leading up to the surgery. I have not weighed myself since the operation. For christmas I shouted myself custard, diet jelly and chocolate with no adverse effects now back on my proper diet, with the Optifast shakes, vege juice and broth. I don find it difficult to drink enough liquids as I like Water, but I am curious what foods I will puree?? I assume tuna and eggs etc. I have also been mixing vital greens powder in my shakes with my dietician's approval and so I wonder if keeping up the nutrition has helped with the recovery? if anyone wants to try vital greens it tastes fine in the optifast shakes and at two desert spoons a day a kilogram of powder has lasted me a few weeks. For other sleevers in AUS I had my surgery at John Flynn on the Gold Coast by Candice Silverman. She is great and the hospital is really good. No problem always got the pain relief when I asked for it and stayed an extra two days because I live in the country and wanted to be safe and sure before going home. I did not feel any pressure to leave earlier and everyone was great, the bed was even comfortable which I was so surprised about.
