    Swimming, it's my go to exercise because it's low impact which is great for my back. I'm 5 weeks today and I can't wait to get into the gym to do some weight training

    Hungry?

    NaomiAus replied to emilymarie822's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I get hungry too, I have half an optifast shake in between meals, it's a good source of protein, it keeps hunger down and it means that I don't need to stop drinking fluids. It's what my dietician recommended

    This is good advice, I found that I didn't need anything between the seatbelt, but everyone is different

    Get up out of bed as soon as they will let you, walk as much as possible around the hospital, it will help with the gas pain so much

    360+ pounds?!? help!

    NaomiAus replied to allyrenee's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions

    I was 418lb, after 8 weeks (4 weeks of optifast and currently 4 weeks post op) I've lost 57lb. I had the sleeve

    Did you say "what did I do" !

    NaomiAus replied to Scottyd1264's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Four weeks out, I can honestly say no regret ever. Even when just waking up and laying in my hospital bed, I haven't regretted it at all. I admit that I was lucky and had a very smooth recovery with no bumps whatsoever

    Why sleeve and not bypass?

    NaomiAus replied to seaniepoohbear's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    It was what my surgeon recommended for me, and I trust his judgment completely. At 4 week post op, I'm glad I did, had nothing but smooth sailing.

    Poop

    NaomiAus replied to Steph Anie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I know the exact feeling, my dietician recommended movicol, 1 sachet then if you don't go 2 sachets the next day. She also suggested to add some fibre powder to your water, the one I got is unflavoured so I just add 4 tsps to my bottle of water

    Having gastric bypass reversed

    NaomiAus replied to Ilovecats1985's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    It is reversible but only in a situation that would warrant it being reversed, not just "I don't like it".

    Craving chips and salsa/avocado

    You can spray mountain bread with a little olive oil spray then bake for 5 minutes then break it apart

    Flinching awake.

    NaomiAus replied to Emilie.Lancaster's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    If it's what I'm thinking of, and it happens to me from time to time, while your in that nearly asleep state, your breathing and heartbeat is slowing down a little too much and your brain will give you a jolt to make sure your breathing enough

    Crazy Food Dreams After Surgery

    NaomiAus replied to distractogram's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Yes! I have these dreams several nights a week, I'm only 3 weeks out. I think it was last night that I dreamt I was eating McNuggets while I was still on purée. No idea where they are coming from, hopefully they will stop soon

    EVER?

    NaomiAus replied to rosebud_char's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Even though I followed my pre-op diet extremely well, I was still worried this would happen to me. I have no idea why, but it was in the back of my mind that it would

    I had my sleeve on 20 November, it's still early days but I can notice some slimming in my face already, and my feet, they aren't puffy balloons anymore!

    Hello!

    NaomiAus replied to wlscanise's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I've told everyone, I am glad I did, I have had nothing but support from everyone. It is a really personal decision to tell people or not. If you tell people, then you can have an amazing support system. If you choose not to tell people, it isn't their business to know anyway. There isn't a right or wrong answer on whether or not to tell people.

    Is my Sleeve working?!

    NaomiAus replied to vsgbeccab's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I'm the exact same, I'm 8 days post op and started purees yesterday, so far I haven't had that "full" feeling yet. I've heard it can be because liquids and purees can slide easily through the sleeve, was anybody else the same?
  18. NaomiAus
    I'm doing well, I've only had one wave of nausea which was momentary, the gas pain is very low now. I feel extremely lucky that I'm doing so well. How are you going? Have you started the optifast yet, your date should be coming up soon

    It's finally here...SURGERY DAY today!

    NaomiAus replied to Fatty McFatster's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    Good luck with it! Mine was today. Sending positive thoughts your way
  21. NaomiAus
    Got mine done yesterday, doing well, minimal pain or nausea. Good luck to anyone with surgery coming up
  22. NaomiAus
    It's such an incredible relief when you wake up, knowing that your safe. I worried myself sick for the week leading up, positive I wouldn't make it through
  23. NaomiAus
    No, surgery was around 2pm, nausea and pain are not too bad, I'm just mostly uncomfortable
  24. NaomiAus
    Hey fellow Aussie sleevers, I'm done! Surgery went well, I'm in HDU, doing well
