I tried this at a cafe - yoghurt with some sliced banana - to bites and I new it was a bad move. Took it to go and made a smoothly for lunch when I got home. You can't chew it down it's still too thick.

I'm one week out and have had no pain but today feel a bit sore and bruised inside. Also my tummy looks bruised now so it must take a week or more for it to to come out.

Have you been given anti nausea tablets? After my surgery I got boxes and boxes of meds. Maybe u need a script ?

My only advise with any kind of paper work is to keep asking. I had a few issues getting documents and after two weeks of persistent calls I eventually got what I needed. But I had to go through about 7 different managers. The first 6 said that what I was asking for could not be done. Number 7 - did it

Beautiful in both but well done lady!

Glad I found this post because I feel the same. So surprised that Water is going down a breeze and so is the liquid diet. No real feelings of hunger but also no feelings of being too full. I really hope they didn't leave my whole tummy in there....

I ate celery between when I felt hungry. I was permitted unlimited veg. Celery has a real crunch which helped me feel like I really was 'eating'

Well done. That's an amazing loss. Have you had any issues with loose skin?

Hi all - I'm 2 days post op. I really thought I would want to be alone in hospital but I was quite emotional especially when I woke up. I was very glad to have my mum with me day 1 and dad with me day 2. Probably means I'm a sook but I'm so glad they insisted when I said I didn't need them. On the plus very little pain and no hunger. Good luck all!

St. Andrews war memorial hospital in Brisbane. I was seriously gonna slip the nurse a 50 if she let me keep my undies . Maybe I'll get lucky and get to keep them anyhow

Yeah he has done really well. Though he is very casual about it. Won't even take his Multivitamin or go to his follow ups. At this point I just want it done so I don't feel hungry. Thank god I get that 100g of Protein. My biggest worry is paper undies and sleeping in a hospital but I guess that part will be over quick. I am also looking forward to loosing enough weight to get into 'new' territory having lost and regained and lost and regained on my own these last few years.

Yes he was bigger. I think paranoia has set in now surgery is only 5 sleeps away. Thanks for your reply - the help on here is keeping me sane

Thanks ladies I appreciate this reassurance. It's scary. But I'm sure all for the best.

Ok so I was talking to another sleever today and they were strictly on shakes pre op. I am allowed 100g of Protein. I triple checked this was correct. But why why why do some allow it an not others. I feel worried that I've had it when others can't.

I know you are right I have been alternating with soda Water. I will miss fizz. I do drink lots of water so I guess I'll find a way to be happy with just h20.

Jess9359 - is it really? I so hope you are right.

I guess my fear is that the loose skin will loose worse then what I've got currently. I know loose skin is the healthier of the two, hence I will proceed. I guess I don't hate my current body so I'll be sad if my new one makes me cringe...

Loose skin is scaring the shit out of me and I haven't even had the surgery yet.

Phew thanks for the reply. I have been having a black coffee or diet coke as my 'treat'

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I can still have coffee just no milk. Is that unusual?

I'm am feeling like it's going too well. Like it should be harder? It's only day 3 but I haven't even had any headache etc. I do feel hungry but not starving and carrot and celery seems to be enough to keep things at bay between. Do you think that swapping a shake for a bar is bad? My dietician said is fine but I wonder if some how the food won't pass through the same way the shakes do. More calorie absorption ?

Hi all - day 3 in pre op diet. My diet allows a Protein Bar replacement in place of the shake. They are so much nicer. Do u think in order to shrink the liver the liquid form is better? Or is it more about the low carbs?

I was in the same boat. My surgeon did a preop gastroscopy under anaesthetic and they monitored me. Apparently I show no sign of sleep apnea. So that was that. Still somewhat worried..

Does anyone have a good pre op to do list? I'm starting to worry I'm going to forget something critical. I'm going 11/7. Started my two week pre op diet today.

Jelly is out here in Australia too. Apparently it can get stuck.

I'm 11 July . I just had a horror thought... While they do the surgery are my boobs going to be on display? Do they cover u and just leave the tummy on display? Or is the whole lot on show?
