Attention ! Australian Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Ok guys tomorrow I start soft foods' date=' AND tomorrow is Tuesday, meaning I have to pack every meal but Breakfast since I won't be home until 11 pm. So here is my plan:

Breakfast: pumpkin ricotta purée at home

Morning snack: fruit cup, 1/2 cup milk in my coffee

Lunch: canned chicken (Caesar flavor)

Afternoon snack: 50g shaved leg. Ham, 1 string cheese, 1 tsp mustard

Evening: 40g hummus, 3 cruskits, 1 string cheese

I will also pack one optislim in case something doesn't agree with me. I'm nervous![/quote']

Good luck mitsysj! As long as your prepared I'm sure you'll do fine. But cudos on thinking to bring the extra optislim. Great idea! I did the same and now I have about 5 or 6 shakes sitting in my draw at work just in case! Or just for a Protein hit!

I had another great weigh-in and updated my signature. I'm in the 80s in kg, in Onederland in pounds, and just plain morbidly obese! Plus I think I weigh less than my husband, who is a foot taller than me.

I had training today (and tomorrow) off-site. This facility has awesome catering. I was able to eat morning tea and lunch and only ate a snack I has brought for lunch. Here is what I had and I didn't feel sick at all.

Breakfast at home: 1/2 cup yogurt, 1 small banana

Morning tea: a tangerine and about 1/3 of a sausage roll

Lunch: a prawn, a few bites of baked chicken (pretty moist and I took tiny bites), a crouton, a bit of boiled egg, half a thin slice of salami, a couple noodles from a noodle salad, small piece of Tomato, small piece of capsicum. And one bite of strawberry cake. I logged all this and it was about 130 calories.

Afternoon snack: 2 cheese sticks (instead of a timtam)

I will probably just have the last of my purée chicken with some gravy for dinner. I will end up just over 800 calories.

I listed this to show people what they might be able to look forward to. I know some people don't tolerate this stuff.

One thing is that I have been able to tolerate Water but now that I'm on solids Water tastes bitter. :(

Thank you misty.Your food diaries are a big help with what to expect.Congratulations on the weight loss so far.

I'm glad it helps! For dinner I had one egg, very gently scrambled, 3 g of mozzarella, and 40 g of salsa. It was filling but again no trouble.

Keep in mind that my dietitian told me I don't need to do a specific soft food stage, but just chew everything very well and avoid dry meat for a while. Some people wouldn't try raw veggies yet. I haven't had much of any one solid food. Maybe that's why I have tolerated everything well. His chewing guideline is don't swallow until every chunk is smaller than a single pea. Also I stopped eating lunch when everyone else was done. I just ate a lot less.

How's everyone going?? Been a bit quiet this week.

Wasn't going to have a good funeral but have been counting down my "last meals". 3 days in Central QLD and then off to NZ for 3 nights next week so going to have my fill of eating out for sure. Mum is coming to cook for me even Sunday night!

That's a funny typo. :) Just so you know you can edit your post if you click near the top of it.

I have been in training the past two days, and I'm taking tomorrow as a holiday. We are going camping at Noosa north shore!

I have had no problem at all eating solid food. I had chicken salad tonight with some diced capsicum and onion and had no trouble even though some people seem to have trouble with raw veg. I have had meat and crackers and a bit of rice and avocado and boiled egg. I don't know if I am just lucky or what, but I'm just taking everything slowly and in tiny bites and chewing well. I had a couple mini quiche today for morning tea even!

Managing to stay under 900 calories right now even though I could definitely eat many more if I chose the wrong foods.

Lots of Last Suppers!!! You will be able to enjoy all your favourites with the sleeve, but in small quantities. I say enjoy the quantities while you can if you want to as it will be the last time you will be able to. A mental saying goodbye to feasting.

Lol! Did a big double take reading this one Brendani :))

Starting to fight the urge to 'last supper' myself. I know that I will eventually eat just about everything I like after the sleeve - just in teensy portions. All those years of dieting and calorie counting have done my head in.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
