Hi All, I made this decision to have surgery 5 months ago, and am now 4 months post op. I have only told my mum and dad and my husband but no one else as I did not want loads of questions, judgement and hate for it. I was wondering if there are any other Sydneysiders who are interested in a cup of tea/coffee and some friendly chat for support and someone to talk to who has done the same thing as you?

Hi,

Im having surgery on 13th Jan and until last week i hadnt even told my dad for fear of exactly what youve described. I have just joined but if you want to pm me to chat that'd be great. I live in sydney also.

Support is a huge deal and it's one of the things im lacking. I have a great hubby but i havent told any friends - and not sure i will.

Hi

I am getting sleeved on the 27th of November, and would be interested in catching up after surgery, I'm in Wollongong but happy to travel

Hey guys, so sorry I got caught up with a new job and stuff. Great to hear from you and am definitely interested in catching up and seeing how you are doing. It is such an amazing journey and would love to hear your stories

Hi Laggy,

l'm post op after my surgery last Friday 10th Nov 2017. Happy to catch at any time. Cheers Joel

Hi All

My surgery is 13th jan. Im currently day 3 pre op diet. What on earth can i eat with my grilled meat? No sauces just garlic? Im going to keep the vampires away but I'm going to get sick of garlic real soon. I thought lemon juice but apparently not, no sauces nothing. Im good with the shakes/bars, protein snacks etc, water, herbal tea etc etc but i feel like I'm not setting myself up for 6 long weeks with us plain grilled meat for dinner plus some veg.

Id love to catch up too.

Hi,

l am 3 weeks post surgery. During the pre op period l grilled chicken, pork, lamb and fish. I steamed various green veggies asaragus beans broccoli spinach etc. also had grilled Tomato and grilled mushrooms. The fish l would season with salt, pepper and lemon. Chicken breast l would make some slices in the meat and marinate in soy sauce for 1 hour.

Good luck.
