So excited for you!

It's funny, before my op I wouldn't have thought that, but I am so do happy with my sleeve that I get excited when I hear about someone else getting it done.

LOL I reckon we are all Sleeve Sisters!

Oh by the way, you have nothing to worry about, a little discomfort for a few days, that's it!

Hi mini mee' date='

If you go to the website www.bandbuddies.com.au it lists the comparison with other multi Vitamins. I've just realised though that it's 2 per day.

Hi,

I can't find any info on the tablets at all, I want to see a listing of all the different vitamins/minerals with their amounts. Is it listed on the bottle itself or on a bit of paper in a box or something?

Good luck KelBel, wishing you all the best for today :)

Well, I'm on the eve of my surgery!! I'm scheduled to be operated on at about 2pm tomorrow. The pre op diet has gone great and has me feel so much better than how I was when my diet consisted of a lot of junk food. It's really helped me get into a good head space and I now feel totally prepared and ready for the start of my weightloss journey.

At my heaviest I was 113.8kg. The day that I started opti I was 111.8kg and today I'm 106.0kg! So that's a loss of 5.8 kg!

Bring on tomorrow!!!

Thank you for all the well wishes and good luck for tomorrow Angie. My surgery went well. So far I have had no gas pain or nausea. I slept most of the day yesterday and am very comfortable. The staff at North West Private in Brisbane have been fantastic. Fingers crossed this continues and Angie's experience is just as positive!

Sorry to be MIA lately, I've been reading all the posts but haven't had anything to write. Quick update for those who don't know: start weight 14kg

Surgery 13/8/12

Start size 18 (they were very tight)

Current weight 55.2kg

Current size, as of yesterday, XS or size 6 or 8 depending on what it is. Bought a pair of size 7 jeans from Jeanswest.

My goal was 58kg and to ultimately stay below 60kg for life, I'm having difficulty seeing gains on the scale, even a couple of hundred grams, even though I'm a few kgs under goal. Something I have to work on.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
