Attention ! Australian Sleevers

Ugh...not having a great day today...am feeling quite nauseated. Did anyone else feel like this on their pre-op diet? Or am I coming down with something

I had all kinds of probs on the pre op diet, I was quite strict and only had bars and steamed veggies tho. I had fatigue, nausea , headavhes and that wonderful (read not) ketosis taste. My body was definitely having withdrawals. It is the reason pre op for me was the hardest part.

Just try and keep focused on the end goal.

I've been pre-opping for a week today. I was sick all last week and so was at home on the couch! No headaches or any problems but my first day back at work today and I am feeling the lack of calories big time! My new mantra - just a week and a half to go, just a week and a half to go!

Chin up Lila - we can do it! Hope y feel better soon

Like Aussiegirl I was on the strict diet too - only meal replacements/salad/veges and only one cup of low gi fruit a day if I was really hungry. I found it really difficult and consider it the hardest stage in the journey so far as I was starving! I also felt unwell. Just keep crossing those days off the calendar an you will be at surgery day in no time - I was literally crossing the days off the calendar so I could see time ticking away! You will soon be on to the next stage post op and it is onwards and upwards from there ( I should say downwards as far as the weight goes!!). Good luck and just keep taking one day at a time.????

Thanks guy's - I had been feeling pretty good over the weekend so wasn't expecting to have the nausea hit me as hard all over again! I am like you, Aussiegirl - really strict with the eating (even managed not to lick my fingers when cutting my son's birthday cake on the weekend lol) and I think that is why it's so awful. But it's another day over today (today was my last really big day, nope second last lol, day at work) so things are looking up Going to keep on having early nights and just keeping my eye on the prize

Hi Lila, i am sure it feels as though time is going by so slowly, but the big day will be here before you know it. Perosnally I am finding the puree stage difficult, as i really hate the consistancy. Can't wait until I can have food with crunch/texture. Counting down until next Tuesday and then can at least have soft food for a week. Hang in there and don't forget to drink lots of Water, as it flushes your system and takes the edge off any hunger. At least afterwards you won't feel hungry.

So over puree!! Dreaming f food with crunch such as a prawn salad. 2 weeks to go, not that I could get something like that down at the moment! This not feeling hungry s strange. I do feel empty at times especially on first waking up in the morning, but it''s different. I was even full eating half a cup of strawberries and yogurt last night and could not finish it.

Me too!! I only just started purée yesterday and I'm already sick of it. Everything is such a waste. I make 1/2 cup of quick oats and can only eat 2 teaspoons and I can't fit anything else.

Oh dear, i hope it goes quickly for you. I tried the gourmet baby food in tubes and it is disgusting. fruit and yoghurt has been good and soggy Cereal for Breakfast has gone down ok, but other meals have been difficult. Have tried pureed beef, chicken and fish with vege but too heavy and sat in stomach for ages. Very uncomfortable!

Weighed myself this morning..................and I've gained. Excuse the language, but how the f**k can I have gained weight. Today I am 9 weeks post op. Granted the gain was only 600gm, it's still a gain.

How is this possible?

When was the last time you weighed yourself? I'm only 2 weeks out so I'm still obsessed with the scale and I will put on up to 1kg through out the day, but lose most of it overnight. Sometimes it doesn't always come off, but by the end of the week I'll weigh less than I did the week before.
