So excited for you!

It's funny, before my op I wouldn't have thought that, but I am so do happy with my sleeve that I get excited when I hear about someone else getting it done.

LOL I reckon we are all Sleeve Sisters!

Oh by the way, you have nothing to worry about, a little discomfort for a few days, that's it!

Hi mini mee' date='

If you go to the website www.bandbuddies.com.au it lists the comparison with other multi Vitamins. I've just realised though that it's 2 per day.

Hi,

I can't find any info on the tablets at all, I want to see a listing of all the different vitamins/minerals with their amounts. Is it listed on the bottle itself or on a bit of paper in a box or something?

Good luck KelBel, wishing you all the best for today :)

Well, I'm on the eve of my surgery!! I'm scheduled to be operated on at about 2pm tomorrow. The pre op diet has gone great and has me feel so much better than how I was when my diet consisted of a lot of junk food. It's really helped me get into a good head space and I now feel totally prepared and ready for the start of my weightloss journey.

At my heaviest I was 113.8kg. The day that I started opti I was 111.8kg and today I'm 106.0kg! So that's a loss of 5.8 kg!

Bring on tomorrow!!!

Thank you for all the well wishes and good luck for tomorrow Angie. My surgery went well. So far I have had no gas pain or nausea. I slept most of the day yesterday and am very comfortable. The staff at North West Private in Brisbane have been fantastic. Fingers crossed this continues and Angie's experience is just as positive!

Sorry to be MIA lately, I've been reading all the posts but haven't had anything to write. Quick update for those who don't know: start weight 14kg

Surgery 13/8/12

Start size 18 (they were very tight)

Current weight 55.2kg

Current size, as of yesterday, XS or size 6 or 8 depending on what it is. Bought a pair of size 7 jeans from Jeanswest.

My goal was 58kg and to ultimately stay below 60kg for life, I'm having difficulty seeing gains on the scale, even a couple of hundred grams, even though I'm a few kgs under goal. Something I have to work on.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
