Hi my name is Lauren and I am having gastric sleeve surgery on Monday. I live in Perth Australia with my hubby and dog misty.I am very excited about the surgery and a little nervous too. I am so happy I found this app. I can't wait to get to know some new people. Thanks ????

Yes i do thank GD, i am sipping a lot. I have some awesome recipes too, but until Monday it is going to be juices and stuff

Thats awesome, no I am at the mount. I am just waiting on the dr now so I can go home, I am much better today. I am not hungry at all, either. Though right now now I am still doing mostly juices we will see what I do when I get home.

i have not been discharged yet, hopefully tomorrow I had aome complications with pain waking up. Other than that though I am doing well and excited to get home tomorrow. How are you feeling?

Thanks both of you. The clear liquid thing is funny to me. Here is Australia, we do not do clear liquids at least not that I have heard from the people i know. Pre and post of it is just liquids they do not have to be clear. Also our insurance here covers almost all of the surgery no matter what. It is cool to hear about the differences.

The first 4 days were hell, but now I have gotten used to it. I do not have to do all liquids, I have to follow optifast which have meal bars which i prefer over shakes for dinner. My husband, Ian, has been incredibly helpful when I want to cheat, he says to remember all the reasons i am having the surgery and after i have written them all down if i still want whatever i was craving then i can have it. I have not veered once. Four more sleeps. What day are you having it done.
