Hello everyone!

Hope you are all travelling well on this crazy/amazing journey.

My surgery date is coming up fast, next week 16 September. Feeling a little lonely going through this process - I have my family/friends support but would be great to have conversations/support from people in simillar situations.

I'm on my 3rd week of my 4 week pre-op diet. I'm down 4kg but seem to have plateaued a bit in the last couple days.

Anyhoo, staying optimistic as this going to change my life for the better!

Is anyone else getting sleeved this month?

Fluids is definitely my biggest issue right now....i wish I had kept the little 30ml cups they had when I was on the ward....they were perfect to guage how much you needed to have at one time.

Hey NK, feeling like a human again and getting out and about but still struggling getting enough Protein and fluids. I've got my appointment with the dietician tomorrow, so I'm hoping I can progress onto the next stage which will hopefully help me get more protein etc. how are you going??

Yeah....I probably average 50g of protein a day....but I'm able to get at least 2L of fluids a day...whether it's water/v8 juice/soup/sustagen/etc. I get a small occasional pain when I drink just a little bit too much but had a win with eating some snack pack choc custard last night....today I'm going to try fruit puree and see how I go. My appointment with the doc isnt until Friday week.....hopefully I can start on mushy foods then.

I'm now on 'minced & mashed' foods! I'm so happy! Tonight I had a little bit of chicken and gravy. I couldn't eat much but man, best meal ever! Was worried that my stomach wouldn't cope but it all went down fine. You shouldn't be too far behind me NK?!? I also had little pain spurts from time to time but I think it was my stomach telling me to slow down or it was too cold. It passes though. I haven't had any trouble with it in a couple of days.

Hi. Getting there - it certainly is an interesting experience! Getting nauseous over nothing and going off anything sweet. Roll on puree stage! It is getting easier each day

Good to hear MM.

So Ive managed to get down 16kg since being sleeved. Almost onto solid foods....although I am eating them just chewing the hell out of them before swallowing. Exercise is starting to increase. My walk yesterday was 7.74km.....took just over an hour.

How is everyone else doing?

Well done NK! That's awesome!!!! I'm doing great, I'm tolerating all the foods I've eaten so far and I'm back to normal foods at the end of this week (yay)! I'm starting my daily walks today (my dog will be so happy)! I'm down 15kg and couldn't be happier! Are you back at work NK?

Hi, yes thankfully nausea is gone onto the puree stage and loving it. Can't wait to get walking soon!

Puree was my least liked stage...lol....mainly it was the aesthetic side to it....taste was ok....but it was good to know I was slowly moving back to solids again ????

Glad to hear you are coming along nicely MM
