Hi noorjenna I am a week post op today, I am at this stage having Optifast shakes, drinking yogurt, V8 vege juice & jelly. I'm going to start having home made soup today as well. I was in hospital for 5 days to monitor my hydration which is very important. I wasn't a big ice cube fan but I couldn't get enough of ice chips so maybe have a supply of ice chips or crushed ice ready to go. I wish you an easy & speedy recovery, any decision you make to improve your quality of life is the right decision :-) Just know this is a great place for support and we are at your fingertips xxx

Congratulations on your decision Angela Is ready! How exciting for you. I'm booked for 5th Feb, finally light at the end of the tunnel :-)

Yes it certainly has put my frustrations to rest. Years of trying to do the right thing for weight loss with no significant results.

Hi Jackie, from what I understand the bacteria was from my colon. I've been asked to be part of a research group as apparently they have been testing this same bacteria in mice. They take this bacteria from a fat mouse and put it in a skinny mouse and the skinny mouse gets fat. So when I have the op they're going to take a few samples for testing.

Hi Kaela How exciting for you, 30th Jan! I'm feeling excited too, mines booked 5th Feb! This year is looking pretty amazing :-D

Last year I had an infection after Gall Bladder removal. The results from the infection showed that my body makes a bacteria that basically makes me fat. I made the decision to have the Sleeve and not waste any more of my quality of life.
