All my dietician said was to start having 5-6 small meals a day rather than 3 main meals. Drink plenty of water - small sips constantly instead of large gulps when you're really thirsty. Ive cut out majority of soft drink & i was a smoker & have since quit!! All small changes that i think will help alot :-)

Im SO excited! Ive waited a full year from the date i decided to go ahead with it for my health insurance waiting period to be up (i wasnt covered for the procedure until i upped my cover) so im definately ready! I definately think its going to be a challenging journey but im more than ready :-) So good to have others experiencing the same thing to talk to about it! Yes im having the sleeve early july :-)

Im so excited for all of us!! Hows everyone feeling?

Yay! How exciting! Im in Australia though - where are you?

Gold Coast, Australia :-)

How exciting! Where are you located?

Ohh thats great to hear! Thank you. Im very excited but also a little nervous. Just wishing my turn would hurry up - im anxious to be on my journey :-)

Hi :-) Im in Gold Coast QLD. Surgery date is July 4th & ive just been approved for early release of superannuation. Alot of hoop jumping but definately worth it! If i can help by answering any questions im more than happy to help Amanda

Who's scheduled for surgery in July!? :-)

Yes! I was excited that it was Independence day! Haha. Ive had my date since mid January. Ive had psych consult, dietician consult, blood work & chest xray. Now just the waiting game! Had to wait until my private health insurance waiting period was up (June 13th) thus the wait until surgery date! Where abouts are you?

Also - ive taken just over 2 weeks off because i could. Surgery is July 4th & first day back at work will be July 21st. Have been told i wont need that long but im lucky enough to be able to have it so i figure, why not!

My pre-op diet will be 2 weeks. Can have non-starchy vegetables & diet jelly to mix it up. Although a friend said the vegetables made her hungrier than if she didnt have them.. Maybe just having something in your stomach? Im sure everyones different though. 2 weeks is going to kill me!! Haha. But all will be worth it in the end :-)

Im waiting too! July 4th. It will be here before we know it xx
