I didn't see an OCT thread, so let's make one! I just got my date today and it's 10/9! Any other October dates yet?

Omg no join now! And let ppl marvel on how fast that weight is dropping!

Absolutely... you can be the poster child for joining a gym. They may even give you a couple of free trainer sessions

caffeine is allowed or not allowed in this pr-op shakes and clears phase? I think not....but I left my paperwork at home and I am at work, and I do not feel like calling the office....

I was advised x1 coffee, no sugar or milk pre op. May be different for other countries (this advice was given to me in Australia).

Hope they helps?

Personally, I would probably just ring and ask them to email the guidelines anyway as a back up!

Every program is different. It was fine by mine but then again, I also am allowed to drink coffee 4-5 post-op.

I’m over a week post-op now and have yet to want coffee though.

Good luck.

4days to go kept to the pre op diet, mine said basically 2 pints of skimmed milk just over half a chicken breast each day.(don't like green salad) Tea and coffee as long as I use the milk quota. Lost nearly 14lbs in 10 days getting slightly easier.Minimal energy as you would expect but taking it 1 day at a time. Oh forgot the jelly, mixed it with some of the milk for something different. Dearly hope my hunger after the op is diminished ? Good luck to everyone on the waiting lists !

2 weeks post surgery. I feel great! All soreness is gone I feel physically very normal/myself. Down 20 lbs since the started the 2 week liver reduction diet.

No regrets!

All future sleevers it worth it!

Yes, it’s worth it, even after having a complication after surgery!! You’re making the best decision of your life! [emoji173]️

When you mentioned 'jelly', my eyes double-checked. 95% of the mentions on here are for 'jello'. It was obvious you were from the UK, NZ, RSA or AUS.

Then when I read that you mix jelly powder/crystals with milk, I knew Immediately you weren't a South African or an Australian.

Only people from New Zealand or the UK could try to make jelly flavours co-exist with dairy.

It's today, it's today, it's finally today. I had excited butterflies all day yesterday. I am so ready for this. Second chance starts today ?

Well, best wishes to you.

My seven day post-op driving exclusion ended last night so I'm off to see my two local grandchildren in an hour.

You'll probably be prepped and worked upon while I'm on the freeway.

Hope it all goes well.

Hope everyone is doing well!! I'm post op 2 day! My experience at A Slimmer me in Mexico has been great. I am on my last day in the recovery house and go back home tomorrow. Gas pain has been very minimal, I'm sore but getting fluids in [emoji846]

I love Martha!!

If you don't mind me asking, did you notice that you gained any weight from the fluids or anything?


Sleeved 10/10/17 • HW 280 (3/1/17) • SW 259 (10/10) • GW 180 (TBD)

I gained 4 lbs from the IV fluid after surgery. The next day it was gone.

Yep you got me rainbow, we tend to refer to jello as jelly and candy as sweets? All the way from the uk.

Surgery at 1030 nervous and excited
