Hi rmv! Oh wow 4 weeks of optifast? Good luck my friend! It will all be worth it once it's over....when did u start?

Thanks for that seatleslew it's good to know this is the hard part lol...

Hi Leanne! Wow your story is amazing! I'm sorry u had to go through so much I had my pre surgery consult today and Im now so scared! Hensman said something about something in my stomach he was a bit vague what's this tube they are talking about? Does it hurt? Omg I have like a zero pain tolerance......I'm going in on Thursday 1st May I'm pretty scared. I asked roughly what time he thought he would get around to me and his response was well I don't look at the time I just do what I do and I'll get to when I can ???? what time did u go in? Did they put these socks on u? Did u have a pain management thing? How are you coping with it all now? Have u started exercising? An 18kg drop is amazing!!!!!!!! Are u loving the sleeve? Sorry too many questions.... It's lovely to hear your experience

Hi Beeteroo! Hahah that Easter candy has a mind of its own doesn't it! But ur eating sounds like mine too I made a roast Cheryl tomato and capsicum salad with balsamic vinegar and a bit of garlic grilled asparagus and grilled eggplant with a roasted chicken breast a bit of this a bit of that....lol yummy love eggplant lol oh and had my shakes

Hi Laurie! This preopp is horrible isn't it lol! I had my pre surgery consultation today and I said to him I've had it just take it all lol not long to go now for me only 7 days!!! Surgery is Thursday week how much longer do u have left on it?

Hi Beeteroo! That's an amazing effort I'm hoping for another 4-6kg by the 1st (roughly 8-13lbs) but I'm just sooooo hungryyyyyyyyyyyyy I have my pre opp consult with my surgeon 2mrw so let's see how it goes keep up the good work...what have u been eating?

Hey Chez, I have my pre surgery consult tomorrow how excited but i had a thousand questions to ask and now im blank lol. The preopp is a bitch i hate it lolllllllllll I started on Wednesday and I have to do it until the 1st some days are better than others. Im the same im so scared for the surgery! I'm scared im going to wake up and theres going to be a breathing tube down my throat and im going to choke on it. Im scared of my liver being too heavy and him not operating. Im scared of not waking up...Im scared of a lot of things lol But i am excited about being healthty. Im excited about not being hungry all the time. And im most excited about being healthy enough to have a healthy pregnancy The pre opp diet is not my friend im tired ALL the time have no energy and STARVING and i just want to eat! But the weight i lost was from my food funerals ive been having hahah i put on heaps of weight after my choice i ATE EVERYTHING! now im paying the price lolllll I weened myself onto it. at the start of the month i just replaced breaky with a shake for two weeks just to see how i go and wednesday 3 meals replaced but i can have some veggies and lean meat which has been a blessing hahaha

Hello Traveler! You raise a great point so my friend was like wow ur doing great why can't u just do this instead of surgery? So I said well u do this for a week and let's see how u go? People think it's "the easy way out" I think it's like a reset on ur tummy giving urself a second chance an I stand talk and proud and my haters are my motivators lol. Mmmm carbs I'm dying for a good burger or some fries or a kebab omg I'm starving lol but I hope my doctor compliments me on my skinny liver and is like wow that was the best liver I've seen!!!! Believe me I'm trying to hang in ther 9 days to go!!!!! So what are u planning to do for preopp have u got some meals in mind?

Hi Chez! Lovely to meet you! Thank u I'm going to need all the luck I can get! I'm really scared and nervous and excited I keep flicking through it all lol I'm a hot mess hahahha the pre opp diet is aweful cause I'm hungry all the time!!!! Like STARVING but 6 kg gone in under a week I guess I can't complain! I've been reasonably good only had one bite of hubby's toast but it smelt so good and it was the most amazing thing I have tasted I miss bread and carbs and chocolate and popcorn but u know I enjoyed them all upto this point Just can't wait to stop feeling hungry all the time lol Sorry I talk too much hahah I wanted to say in really excited to meet you and I'm looking forward to your updates Do u have a preopp diet u need?

Thanks for the update Jenelle good to know what u can tolerate and what makes u feel really full how are you going with getting in all your fluids?

Hi guys, don't know if anyone is following this but it helps to write down what's happening so after a calm day yesterday the hangries attacked today so cracked it a bit an had a nap lol thank god for Easter break back at work 2nrw so I don't know how that's going to go just need to hang in there on plus side since Wednesday I have lost 6kg which is 13lbs so that's good right? Hoping to lose another 3-5 kg by the 1st of May.... hanging in there...oh has anyone started to have some smelly breath?

OMG 55LBS IN 2.5 MONTHS!! That is amazing may I ask what else u have been doing/eating? Any exercise?

So today is so much easier...I've been able to cook for hubby without resenting him! So big breakthrough...I was feeling jealous that he could eat all these yummy foods while I was sucking down another shake and I was getting angry with him and myself and it was aweful. Today it doesn't bother me too much. I'm starting to feel fuller on the shakes now they sustain me a lot more too haven't cracked the shits at all today VICTORY!!!! Thank god for this app and the Facebook page sassy sleevers just helps to know ur not alone and helps to know whAts in store 10 more days to go!!!!
