NeedaBreak4Me got a reaction from inspyrdbyu in Why is the pre-op diet necessary and so hard?
Don't do it!! You will go back to square one! Its not worth it to jeopardise your surgery.
The cravings will ease one you are in ketosis.
Im on day nine... and i am craving bread and meat.. but i remind myself that this phase will end and after surgery i will have a little more flexibility.
Why not have a chocolate flavoured shake? Or chocolate Protein pudding mix?

NeedaBreak4Me got a reaction from aussiecosy in Will Australia Do?
Yeah... Unfortunately for us emotional eaters... we eat when we are happy, sad, angry, bored, to Celebrate, to mourn...etc
There is no escaping it!
Btw i replied to your other post regarding the aussie process with the surgeon

It is alot different on Australia than the states.
Basically we dont get approved as such... we need to be a BMI of 40+ or 35 with health issues.
You will meet with your surgeon.. he will hear your story.. and discuss surgery options and make recommendations, then once you have decided to go ahead... you book a hospital date... then see the psych and nutritionist.
You do the pre op diet and then you get done... and thats pretty much the process

NeedaBreak4Me got a reaction from aussiecosy in Will Australia Do?
Thank you... im really nervous now....
I am a WLS veteran though... had the band for 6 years...was successful... had complications so i had it removed 12 months ago.. gained weight... so i decided to go ahead and do the sleeve.
Keep in touch with me... i will let you know how it all goes post op...
You are a lightweight like me...
Whats your story?
I knew what you meant ☺ Oh and i am also with hcf...

NeedaBreak4Me got a reaction from Miss Mac in Regretting the sleeve so much and afraid I will die or have serious problems down the road
KittyCathy.... i wouldn't worry about it too much.
Think of it this way.... you would already be aging faster beng 320... so you will actually notice people look and feel younger with weight loss.
This surgery has been done for years as the first step to another surgery and also has been used to treat some stomach cancers.... and i would think doctors would not do it on a mass scale if it has the potential to cause major issues down the track.
Was this article a medical journal article or is it potential hogwash from around the Internet?
