Hey Bella! I think it depends on ur BMI. I don't think the surgeons will laugh at you. If u don't feel healthy and feel ur weight is going to escalate u have every right to seek professional help it's not the number on the scale that really matters I mean it does but doesn't u know 90 kg on me I look ok but I started at 137kg I'm 170cm tall and want to weight about 65-70ish. I went through lap surgery Australia and they were pretty good (except for when I got in trouble lol) you can always call them and ask them they are really friendly they are in boronia hope it helps ????

That's good ???? have u had all ur appointments? Yeah preopp diet is aweful bit it works lol hahaha don't worry about the weight u gain before ur preopp I was on a see food diet lol I ate everything in site lol then preopp lost pretty much all of it then some then surgery. So ate you booked in? When do u start preopp? How exciting!

Hi! Welcome! Man I wish I was 100kg lol who did you go through? I went through lap surgery Australia and didn't have to loose weight before the surgeon I even put on weight before I started my preopp! On preopp I lost about 7 kg ish I think.... Fingers crossed for u hang in there it's worth it. How tall are you?

Hey Leanne! Oh man I think the mood swings are normal lol I find I'm fine one minute the next I'm cray cray lol poor hubby he just cops it lol I called Alex yesterday due to the can't do a number two she told me to take coxocyl I took two tabs and bang down to 118.4 today so much for not weighing! I think I feel crappy when I can't go number 2 and if I do t drink enough but Water makes me feel sick now ???? I'm the same babe I feel lethargic and I'm tired my boss gave me the rest of the week off so I can rest up....just keep doing what your doing and it will come off the scales are evil!!!!! I live in the dandenong area whereabouts are u guys?

Hi Bella nice to meet u ???? welcome to the best support page around ????I'm bee and was sleeved on May 1st

Hey Chez! Congrats on getting through day one! The preopp is a real biatch it's harder than the surgery! The first three days are the worst! Hang in there it will get more tolerable as you go along! Naps help heaps! Thinking of u! I hope the next 13 days go by really quickly for u xoxox Hang in there babe you got this ????

Hey Leanne!!! Thank you so much! I've been freaking our lol they were like u can cause a leak and make urself sick and bla bla bla lolll what nutcases the group is Spring into Sleeving and I emailed the person that invited me through here and told them where they can shove the group lol you are so right I think this chick does get her thrills from scaring people and being all I'm so perfect whatever lollll! Yay I was excited about the 119.6 magic number lol now I can't wait to be under 115 lol but I of course have hit the lovely 3 week stall I think I will have to stay off the scale for a week or two? Don't think I can do 2 weeks but 1 weekish? How long did ur first stall last? Hey Chez how was Day 1? How r u feeling?

Hey Chez! Yeah I'm going to call lap surgery tomorrow and ask to speak to the dietician and see what she recxomends. I unjoined the group don't need that kind of negativity in my life it was an honest and innocent question but all is well ???? I'm good lovely haven't exercised for a few days but I've been a bit sore since I started back at work I think the sitting position makes it painful so we will see how it all goes.... I had a sook before I started preopp too just this wave of panic and what are u doing hit me and I freaked out And then I was ok! Preopp huh! Good luck with it which shakes did you get? And yes 100g of chicken is ok my dietician allowed me to have a lean meal with 100g of Protein..,, I'm here for u during this preopp it will get better hang in there ok xoxoxoxox you've got this ????

Hey lovely ladies! Ok so I'm so naughty I had a very little bit of skinny girl Cosmo mix tonight two sips and I was tipsy but omg I have been abused today! So I asked on two Facebook "support" groups how long people waited until they had a drink and hoe far out I was and that I was considering a drink not bottles just one teeny weeny drink and this one chick told me off!!! But before that I called the emergency line at lap surgery and then Mchenry called me back and he went off tap at me had me in tears! I get that it's for energencies and mine was a general question but they didn't tell me when I was discharged if I could or could not drink! So then hubby calls him back and let's him have it! Then hr apologised for bring such an ass. I said to him they never told me and that on discharge I was allowed to call and ask in fact they preferred if I called and asked instead of doing things that might damage me so aren't I better off calling before I make a mistake instead of u telling me to figure it out on Monday! Like wtf!!!!! Nasty!!!! I get it's for life threatening things but seriously to be yelled at I kid u not he yelled at me my jaw dropped!!!! Seriously I'm so dissppointed i know maybe it was trivial but I found out through MY OWN RESEARCH later of course that it can give u an ulcer and some people say wait 6 weeks some say 6 months some say 1 year like how am I supposed to know! Anyway he said that a few sips is ok after we had a 15 minute arguement he could have savec himself and me a lot of heartache if he just answered the question. I now feel like absolute crap that he spoke to me like that and then I got attacked on FB too seriously! Btw the drink I had was amazing u drank about 100ml over like 3 hours or something so it's ok I think! But I don't know.... I'm so glad I have u guys I can vent to I'm sorry for going on do much but thank u for listening!!!! So today I hit 119.6 kg on my scale when I'm naked so happy days!!! I'm coming up to this 3 week stall so I think it's time to work out on the cross trainer oh and I haven't walked in 2 days I went back to work today but I'm at a desk job and sitting for a long time made me sore so might have to take some painkillers to work on Monday!!!! On the number 2 I think I should be more diligent with my fibre right now I feel a bit lost... Chez have u started pre opp? How are u feeling?

Hey Leanne! Love that ur a drinker lol I was wondering when I could drink I have a wedding to go to on 7th June so wouldn't mind a bit of moscato lol oooo I love vodka! Add a dash of grenadine to your vodka oj or some raspberry cordial or syrup just a dash and u have a vodka sunrise lol Well I'm 13 days out now ???? and I'm eating some soft meats and some mince and poached eggs and stuff pretty much anything goes down ok... Haven't tried bread I'm not too into it I don't think Tiny (that's my sleeve) will like it hahah Have u started taking anything for the hair loss that we are expecting? Did u stall at 3 weeks? Oh and can u do a number 2 lol I'm trying to encourage my twin sister to get something done too and her husband he's a big boy maybe I can inspire them..... Oh and yes I have my plate hahaha it's awesome at the moment I'm measuring out 1/4 cup of food and I can eat that but I get really full really quickly lol but it's nice hanging around the dinner table with the family watching how much they eat and then looking at my plate (side plate and baby fork) by the time they haven't chewed their food I haven't even gotten through my teeny serving it's awesome!!!!!!!

Hey Chez Lol eat away Hun! I probably shouldn't encourage that but that's what I did an I didn't care!!! Urgh the preopp is seriously worse than the surgery itself. I hated it! But u have us as a support group and if u stuff up don't worry too much just pick urself up again it happens we r human ???? I got sleeved on Thursday 1st and I was out by Sunday they said I was a star patient I just kept walking around got my mum to help me wheel the drip. In all honesty it hurt less to walk than it did to sit I'm still a little sore sometimes it's just that main incision point they work out of that and it has internal stitching so it's a bit sore but u my friend are going to do amazingly! To be honest I loved my hospital stay it was nice to be waited on hand and foot i pressed a buzzer and BANG! A nurse came and fixed whatever didn't feel right lol so enjoy ur time in the hospital it's like a mini vacation ???? oh and don't be shy with the pain meds I made the doc write a script for some endone so that when I came home if it was too painful I could take it ????

Hey guys I'm a week out and now I can have puréed foods...what was your fave purée? So far I tried: 1. Poached egg with avocado puréed (not mashed) it was aweful 2. Tuna with mayo (puréed) that was gross too lol 3. Cauliflower and chicken with cheese purée then baked in the oven with some cheese on top that was a winner!!! 4. Scrambled egg... Just scrambled was a bit undoable so I whizzed it a bit...kinda ok loll And now I don't know I'll try some pumpkin Nd sweet potato and then I'm at a loss any ideas?

Hey Leanne I saw them today they were like wow ur doing great! I'm so excited in down to 122.6kg I started at 137kg and Sw was 129.8 not bad in a week lolllll ummm on week one of purée had my staples removed today I did try some avocado and ricotta that was easy to eat then I got creative with my pressure cooker all good made a lamb shank and whizzed it in the hand blender a bit and chewed it and I also added sweet potato and pumpkin to the pot and they absorbed the flavours and then gave that a whizz and it was off this planet! Also made pudding out of Bordem now that's dangerous food goes down way too easy lolll Maybe I could try ur spaghetti Bol idea sounds pretty spesh! Hey Chez! How are you going babe? Have u starte the pre opp? How u feeling?

Mmm they all sound good ???? Ok so the cauliflower thing I boiled som cauliflower and chicken in the one pot until they were really soft cut the chicken a bit it helps to blend it. Then drain the Water. Put back into the pot add salt and pepper and other seasoning whatever u enjoy then add an egg or two depends on how much u make and add some cheese to it then I used my hand blender and whizzed it all up until it was smooth not silky smooth but smooth ish then i put it in like a square oven dish and then in the oven she goes until it starts to go brown ontop about 15-20mins and then a bit more cheese ontop and cook till the cheese melts and is a bit brown then take it out of the oven and let it cool and then slice and enjoy ???? Today I also used my pressure cooker and made a lamb shank and then I added sweet potato and pumpkin into the pot cooked it for a bout 20mins (but first I had cooked the meat for 10 mins) and then I took the lamb off the bone sucked the bone lol it was amazing!!!! And then again my hand blender just a little whizz not a paste so still need to chew I even put some pieces of lamb in my mouth and chew chew chew and omg it was sooo gooooddddddd oh and the sweet potato and pumpkin got a seperate whizz with the hand blender and it's so good cause they absorbed all the juices the meat is ok to get down but chew for a long time and the sweet potAto goes down EASY!!!! Also ricotta and avocado smushed together pretty special too... Also made some pudding and tried some that's dangerous cause it goes down way too easy mmmm I'm a happy camper today hope that helps lolll sorry for the long message ????

Thanks guys! I will try these ideas... That cauliflower thing I made was amazing

Hey Hun! I know it was awesome but yesterday I couldn't do as much barely did 1km and today we did prob about 3km. Question for u Leanne I'm on the purée phase and I don't like it too much how thick were ur Purées? What did u eat in this period? Today I puréed an egg with some Avo and it was aweful lol mashed some cauliflower with chicken and put it on the oven that's ok to eat but do u think I could mash the egg instead of purée? And u think I could have some soft meats or mince meat or something?

Hi guys! Just going to have a bit of a vent if that's ok! I'm sooo over this pre opp diet! It's making me so cranky! I'm hungry ALL the time which is making me angry!!! So every little thing is getting on my nerves I'm doing three shakes a day and I'm allowed some veggies and 100g of protein and I've been very good but it's a nightmare I wish surgery day would hurry up and come so I'm not hungry all the time... Rant over thank u for listening and understanding...Pre opp diet can go suck it lol still got until the 1st of May that's 11 days!!!!!!!!! I'm a hot mess guys...
