Any Aussie sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Best of luck guys. I posted in here a year ago saying I was getting sleeved soon. Ended up having it done on 29th February 2016. Fast forward 10 months and I have lost 45 kg and my BMI has gone from 41 to 25!!! Best decision I have EVER made.

Hahaha thank

I just had an issue eating a bit of mango omg it got stuck down into my chest ( I think lol) ..... whoa remember to chew properly and don't rush IT HURTS lol

I managed to find these Vitamins at the hospital I was operated at. After I'm done with these I'll go to ones I just swallow. At $35 plus dollars they aren't cheap. They weren't prescribed just over the counter.

No hair loss as yet apparently it happens around the 12 week mark. My hair is shaved on the sides and the only hair I have with length in on top. So I don't know whether I'll notice it or not...

Hi. I'm having my surgery on 23 January 2017 south of Sydney. Starting pre op diet today (it's 3am at the moment).

I'm lactose intollerant so only pre op shakes I can have are Celebrity Slim Dairy & Gluten free.

Also freaking out about the hair loss. My son is 8 months old this week so I'm still recovering from pregnancy Hair loss. Hoping it's not too bad.

Glad to see fellow Aussies out there. I have Feb 9 date for surgery in Perth. Finally! Excited. My surgeon doesn't mandate liquid diet but I will be doing it as I have fatty enlarged liver. Going to get in best physical shape to ensure safe surgery. He recommends Isopure Zero drinks. Very high in Protein and comes in about 6 flavours including tea. Have to buy on line.

U can buy Protein waters from a store in Riverton forum and my gym at goodlife carousel sells them. ( if it's the same or similar thing)?.... I don't like the ones from the gym as they taste like pure sugar.... the others from the health food store were ok.. mind u I just did optislim

My dr at Murdoch never told me to do the two week pre op but his off sider did as my liver was fatty...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
