Ah ok x

Im confused who is smoking and drinking?

Oh phew...i was told smoking would cause a leak! So ive been sitting here shitting it since!

I am 16 days post op and im still on fluids. Cant manage any soft or puree foods yet. Lost 10 kilos since surgery. Struggle to get all my fluids in but im mostly just on soup. Ive been back at work for a few days now and by 3pm im exhausted. I guess from not being able to get enough into me. I use tasteless protein and add it to EVERYTHING. I haven't started any exercise, tried going for walks but cant manage much yet.

Hi so i slipped up and had a cigarette today.... Yuck dont plan to do that again!!! But now im super paranoid am i going to get a leak?! I'm 7 weeks post op!

I was given icecream in hospital too Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

Thanks everyone I'll call my surgeon and check.

I can't find anything on Google that says are you allowed to have an extra meal replacement optifast shake. I'm still hungry and I just wandering if i must stick to the 3.

I never thought of that lol I put baby locks on the pantry and fridge last night. Didn't find any random bread crusts today so hopefully a good start lol

I've only been trying to get 2 litres of water in. Otherwise I have all my shakes and vegies too. I will try drinking more water x

So here I am again asking for advice.... I haven't slept walked for years.. I'm half way through my pre OP diet still have about 18 days to go. I've been doing really well lately. Got over the hump...so I had thought. Then it turns out last night I slept walked made my self a peanut butter sandwich. Ate it all except the crusts (which is odd I love the crusts) ? I've put baby locks on the pantry tonight. I don't really know what else to do.

I feel hungry all the time. Is it hunger or is it years of mental abuse on myself and I'm confusing the 2. I just keep trying to push through it looking towards the next meal break.

I hear alot about broth. I haven't been told by my surgeon anything about broth. Is broth like chicken stock? Like the fluid part of soup?

Thank you that's very helpful advice. Is it ok to have an extra shake or bar if I'm struggling? I wasn't sure if that was just as bad.

Omg that is awful! :-( I don't think ppl realise how lucky they have it here in that regards

I knew what she ment

Is this because you guys in America don't have Medicare like we do in Australia? If hospital bills were over 100k no body here would be able to afford to go to the hospital. That seems absolutely insane to me

I'm assuming vegemite is only something we have in Australia. I don't really know how to describe it. But it's bloody delicious lol It's a spread you put on bread or crumpets. We also use it in soups and stews.

Why did you have both surgery's if you don't mind me asking. Also my surgeon said I had to do it for 4 weeks [emoji2368]

Woah!! That seems really expensive. I'm in Australia and even my gastric sleeve surgery isn't more than 4 thousand dollars

Well it's the pre op diet and I cheated. I had a vegemite sandwich ?? I'm disgusted in myself Is this a fail now Do I need to cancel my surgery that is in 4 weeks

Thanks everyone. I was really starting to doubt myself. Day 4 today!! I will conquer this

I sure hope 10 days is enough. Im Having gastric sleeve and am only allowed 2 weeks off. Fingers crossed

Well I am only in day 3 of my 4 week pre sleeve optifast diet. I have to have 3 protein shakes/bars a day in replacement of meals. I am allowed low carb vegetables and some berries. I have severe headaches that panadol just can't get rid of. My belly is currently grumbling as I type this I am also currently considering going out and picking at the left over dinner I cooked my family. Am I actually hungry or do I need to be mentally stronger and push through. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
