Hey 27yo male from Perth, WA - getting sleeved in 2 weeks today (25th January 2017). Would love to be added on a FB group as I find the chat room hard to navigate. I will try to find you now. Best of luck for your op Jack, WA

Hi I have my sleeve booked in for January 25th 2017. I have been counting down for nearly 6 months (waiting for my insurance wait-period to be over). This last week I have been trying to start on the liquid diet every day (a week earlier than I needed to). I have been eating a lot less than usual and have already lost nearly 3kg but my diet hasn't been all shakes and Soups. My question is do I have to stick to the liquid/shakes 100% over then next 2 weeks (pre-sleeve) or is it more about the weight loss - so if I keep calorie counting and drop a few more kg eating much less than usual, is that ok? Thanks heaps Jack, WA

All good guys. I have been having shakes minimum 2x daily and a healthy snack or something small for dinner with a WL soup but will cancel that out and stick to 3x shakes/soups. I have 2 weeks tomorrow before my surgery. I work in a busy hospital environment and have just been struggling with the sudden decrease calories (probably 25-30% of my usual). I know this whole process isn't going to be easy but I have to stick to it and prove it to myself that I can do it. Jack, WA

I thought it was about weight loss as the first place you lose fat from is your liver? My BMI is 36. My surgeon just said everyone does it pre-op. Just wasn't exactly sure if it had to be all 100% liquid Jack, WA

25th Jan 2017 - excited and nervous! Jack, WA
