Any Sydneysiders interested in contact for support



Recommended Posts

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 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.

joel

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
