Thanks for that info Leanne I'm freaking out now lolllll I bought myself a baby sippy cup cause I skull my drinks and baby cutlery and plastics so I can measure stuff I have no idea lollll Ill join ur support group Oh an thank you for the well wishes

Lucky u! I had to buy mine lol berocca is the easiest to take and it tastes nice if u like it hahah I love that u have lists I do the same keep urself busy and it will be here soon I'm really freaking out now!!!!!!

Aww I found dinner the hardest I was allowed one lean meal a day and it was my dinner I found it hard to stop eating....just do the best u can the aim is to shrink ur liver it's ok to stuff up this is hard as just pick urself up and start fresh 2mrw ???? you've got this ????

Hey butterfly! U made me laugh so hard cause that's exactly how I felt lol i wouldn't call it getting better I'd call it adjusting it does get a bit easier I felt like that too then I started to over feed him cause I felt bad then I was like nah eat more babe cause it was ME who was hungry!!!!!!it will be over soon hang in there and do the best u can surgery is 2mrw for me hopefully it's paid off

Oh and my fast starts 7am on Thursday so 2mrw will be strict liquids I'll have my shakes and my detox drink and hopefully all will be well I hope stomach contents and liver are fine....????

Good please do lolll in all honesty I went to chemist warehouse and bought two boxes of optislim $50 an then went and bought a box of bars don't get the optiSLIM bars get the optiFAST bars the optislims are rock hard oh and I like the taste of the optiSLIM shakes more they are a bit runnier whereas the optiFAST is a bit thicker and is like a runny custard but the consistency is gross but hubby loves the optiFAST lol we also did a 48hour rapid detox and I'm doing another one now just to help I don't know if it makes a difference I liked raspberry ketones it was really nice I had my lean meals in the evening no carbs just some meat and salad also I mix benefibre into the shakes with some coffee in the morning and have my berocca and I'm pretty good till about 1:30 then the hangries start... Hope that helps

Hey Chez???? The preopp is nasty but I'm here for u u can talk to me vent to me ask me anything I will b here for u and give u all the support I can ???? I kept asking people what they were eating and lived my food through them hahahah Omg I know!!! Finally got through the day and now I'm starting to get scared I'm worried my liver isn't small enough for him now....urgh then the cold feet happen arghhh it's a new nightmare lollll I think keeping busy and not having time to process is key especially the few days before surgery no backsies it's going to be amazing

Hey Chez wow your getting close that 6 weeks is going to fly by! im ok at work again today urgh until 7:30 so cant wait so 2mrw is the day before so getting my hair cut face waxed house in order bla bla bla lol how are you feeling about the pre opp ? hope i didnt scare you on a plus im now down 7kg

Hey Leanne, thats a great list my friends bought me a nice soft fluffy robe thats like a warm hug lol ummm i have my mummy to look after me hubby needs to work...but ummm i dont know what to do when i get home im kinda playing by ear what sort of things did you have?

you're right. This is a huge decision and you won't be able to eat for about 5 weeks after. Then, after 5 weeks, you still won't be able to eat some things that you really want: Pasta, bread, rice, salad. It's a major major surgery. I had to do it. I get sad when I see other people eating and all I can stomach is 1/2 cup of jello. And that's after doing all broth all week because the jello was too heavy. I would never try to sway you one way or another but make sure you've thought about it and are sure you want to do it. Like everyone says, this changes your entire lifestyle. Regardless of the lack of variety and substance I've had to go on for about the past month~ I know this was the right choice for me. You just have to really look inside yourself and find the answer. Don't let your family decide for you. If my family had decided, I would have had a cheeseburger and fries for dinner tonight vs that 1/2 cup of jello. Be strong! You can do it if you really want it! Hi Redlove Thats some good advice i agree with you i know the first few months are tough but it gets better and it will be worth it.... How are you feeling now after your surgery?

Hey Beetero that sounds amazing lol how did you go with your clear liquids? good luck on your surgery please keep us posted!!!!! im on thursday....how are you feeling?

Hey Law001 Congratualtions on your 4lbs loss thats pretty good dont worry about the popcorn lol I know what you mean my S-Day is THURSDAY omg 2 days away and im going back and forth ive lost 7kg or 15lbs i think wow ur doing so well on theses shakes.. u could keep it up....until i get hungry no starving!!! then the thoughts of bad food kick in. i love food i can eat and eat and eat i have no stop button. personally i have done it all worked out and diet and im good at it until i slip up and then bang one bad habit two bad habits and by the time i know it im downing 3 burgers and some fries and going back for a sundae.... ive decided that i need help.... i dont see the wls as a quick fix for me its like a reset...and rebooting myself to learn how to eat like a normal person you know i dont know if it makes sense to you but thats how it is for me. i cant yoyo anymore im just over it and want to stop being so hungry all the time! so surgery i think is the way to go...just the quality of life and the increase in life expectancy...being able to get pregnant and not worry about weight limitations at a hospital you know.....all that stuff.....

Hey Leanne! Great to hear from u hope u had a nice Easter!thank u sooo much for answering all my stupid questions! It's great to know these are the things people don't tell u lol or we forget to ask lol omg the pre Med sounds amazing i want that so bad!!!! I'm sooo scared and I'll be so scared I know I'm in good hands and all but the idea of loosing control of my body scares me quite a bit.... What was the thing that u needed most for the hospital? I have my robe my comfy pjs and nighties and toiletries iPhone/iPad/ds and a book but can't think of anything else? What was the hardest part for u?

Hey Chez! Ithe preopp is a bitch I hate it so much! Lol I'm a big sook but! Some people do amazing on it and are like it's ok I'm not one of them hahahha so on preopp lost weight in the first week really quickly like 6 kg I was like madddd then for the last few days no drop apparently my stupid body is trying to catch up oh and post opp I've noticed a three weekish stall good to know so we can b prepared Lol yup when I knew I was getting surgery I ate everything didn't care I ate it all and enjoyed it and didn't feel guilty at all! Enjoy it babe u'll have plenty of time in preopp to lose the excess an cleanse the system Weekend was good Hun worked both days then it was family dinner and while everyone ate all the yummy food I are a small piece of grilled chicken and some salad And kept giving everyone else more food cause I was still hungry lol then I serves baklava and cheesecake which smelt so good and I ate some fruit and yoghurt then everyone wanted that so I served them that tooo lol I'm proud I stayed strong I'm really scared now as the time draws closer I have these moments of serenity and then I Freak the F*** Out lolllll urgh!

Hi @@QueenBeeBee,I'm doing ok. Hungry and nasty...lol I have 10days left of this!! I can't take the sweetness of all these shakes! Never thought I'd say that I don't want anything sweet. I wish I were able to have a meal for dinner. I'm getting sleeved on 5/7 and I'm sitting here thinking that it will be a long time before I can actually eat again. Makes me a little sad I just hope that I'm doing the right thing. My biggest problem is keeping the weight off not actually losing it. Idk I think this pre op diet/torture is making me crazy!!! Lol Hey Law001 hang in there buddy!!!!!!! rant and rave here...not long now... it will be done soon....i cant wait till its over and im feeling your pain!!!! this pre opp is just bull!!!!!! have you been tracking calories and stuff? my fitness pal is telling me that im not getting enough bla bla bla lol so annoying apparently pushing our bodies into starvation is not good loll what do they know just playing im delirious at this point hahahah hope you enjoy your weekend

Costco is my favorite place lol there were no samples today we went just before closing time which was good for me lol! Yeah same it's harder at home for me too I've left the house pretty much bare my poor hubby is being so patient bless his cotton socks. Omg I'm so excited for you! Not long at all!!! It's all happening and by the time u know it ur going to be how u always wanted to be a healthier version of the current u good luck please keep us posted and let us know how u go on Tuesday enjoy ur weekend xoxo

Hey Chez! Sorry for my late reply! The appointment was very quick he just outline what would happen on the day and reassured hubby he would take care of me. I asked what time he thought he'd get around to me an he was like well I don't know cause I don't look at the time bla bla bla! Then I had the call from the nurse from the nurse who also told me what would happen also I have to wash myself with chlorhexidine 4% the night before and the morning of not long to go now! Yesterday was a real test of will power I had to make baklava and borek and all this other food for a dinner 2mrw night a dinner I don't get to have but every bit of food was carefully prepared with love so I'll have my shake and some Soup and serve everyone Confession time went to costco to buy the cake and hubby bought 2 slices of pizza and I had a bite out of each!!!! Urgh I suck at this pre opp!!!!!! Anyways...how's ur weekend Chez?

Hey Law001 hang in there some how it does go by....for me not so much I'm having a really hard time on this and I hate it and I have 4 more days to go so it's nearly done but I'm hungry all the time which makes me edgey. I'm a sook and I'm hopeless at this but I really hope it gets easier for u it will pass ???? when is ur sleeve day?

Hey Beeteroo!! Awww I know it's crap crap crap! And this preopp can go die! OVER IT TOO!! I'm going to be honest and come clean too...u are not alone! I was a very naughty Queen Bee today ???? we went to costco (which is the best place on earth!!! And yes they have costco in Australia!) so of course on our way out hubby wanted TWO slices of pizza and I ate a piece of chicken of his pizza so far so good then I took A BITE OUT OF BOTH!!! but the way I see it I'm under 1000 calories so I don't feel so bad ok I lie I feel so guilty surgery is THURSDAY!!! Yeahhh and then for dinner I ate a bit more of the roast lamb than I should....I mean I'm aloud veggies and 100g of meat but I ate way more than 100g today...on Monday I'm going to do a 48 hour detox and Tuesday and Wednesday in going to be strict liquids! I have been too scared to weigh myself too!!! Thank God for this forum and u guys for being so supportive and sharing ur stories. Hang in there Beeteroo I can't wait either! I just want to stop feeling hungry all the time....???? How are u feeling about the surgery?

You are absolutely right Traveller we have gone from maybe 3000 calories to 800!!!! And then after sleeve possibly even less when people ask me how many calories a day and I tell them their eyes pop out! My preopp weight loss is slowing down now which is a shame....anyone else have this problem? Cardamom sounds like a great idea Oh and I hope you start feeling better soon my friend

Awwww ur so sweet!!! Can u be my nurse for my surgery? That would sure make me feel really comfortable and at ease

Hi guys! Yeah preopp is a real biatch! I do really look forward to my one meal of lean meat and veggies it's the highlight of my life loll.... the bad breath is a nightmare but on the plus I only have 6 days to go yay!!!!!! Nearly sleeve time for me saw my surgeon yesterday and my liver is feeling nicer for him just want it all over with now oh and don't worry about the cheating as long as ur liver shrinks that's the main thing for a safe surgery!
