Hi all. Brand new to the forum but so glad I found you all!

Any Aussies about?

Anyone else having sleeve on Friday??

I have told nearly no one about my surgery so relying on some new mates here! Would love to hear from you all!! ????

Hi there,

Another Sydney sleever here, I had mine on the 14th May and couldn't be happier.

Look forward to hearing how your journey goes

Welcome Lozz! Would love to hear your journey! May? How many kilos/sizes are you down? Have you got more energy? What food is working well and what do you avoid?

Btw, thanks for the encouragement Naomi

Sorry I have been quiet - went up Norf to Liverpool for the weekend. I can finally understand the bloody accent up there!

Glad everything is going well - I start my pre-op diet on Friday. Are you on Clear liquids still?

Hi Shotochick, glad you had a good time away. I'm 4 days post op and had some porridge today! Tasted good and went down well. Really have to master taking tablets separately from breakfast as I went on to take tablets after porridge and felt more full than I have ever done yet! Still a bit wiped from an anaesthetic so resting a lot but hardly any pain now. Good luck with the pre op diet! Eyes on the prize. I am 5 kilos down!

Wow! Doing well hon! Keep us updaed

6 days on -eating about 10 teaspoons of puree twice a day plus porridge for breakfast and yogurts for snacks - as well as 1.5L water - mainly with a bit of cordial. All going well. Minimal pain. Plenty of energy.

Sounds like your doing really well, keep up the awesome work!

Hi @@smileygal

I am from Sydney too! I am scheduled for the 29th of September.

I am like you and haven't told anyone. Only my husband. I have 3 young kids and have made up a random excuse to my mum as she will have to watch them. :-(

How have you been feeling?

I feel great on day 7 - with 7 kilos gone!!!

No vomiting ever, coping with 2 puree meals and a Protein shake daily.

Happy to stay in touch as your date approaches!!

Wow, well done!

I would love too, Thanks :-)

As a curisosity for the Sydney peeps - where you from? I grew up in Wentworthville, went to school in Parramatta, then spent 20 years around Chatswood (then moved to London).

Im from strathfield

Hi all again. I'm from south Sydney - near Hurstville. Day 12 post op today and I had the thought I'm nearly ready for work - going back on In 2 more days. Mind you, yesterday I was out and about all day and came home for a nap. 7.5kg down, managing puréed food pretty well and easily getting in 1.5 L fluid. Love being able to manage most of a cup of tea!!

But the best news of all is that my Dr stopped my blood pressure tablets yesterday!! Yay!!!

Wow thats great! You are close to me. My mum is near Hurstville so im there quite often. Has anyone said anything about the sudden weight loss?

Well done Smileygirl. That's wonderful. I had my three month check and have lost 51% of my excess fat. Woohoo this is awesome!
