Attention ! Australian Sleevers

[ausmith 374]

It's only two weeks! You can do anything for two weeks! Everything is different post-op and it won't be as hard then.

Thanks Misty it helps that we are both on it.

So 6 days post op now slowly starting to feel more human now! Saw my gp today had the dressings taken down sites all looking good told I could take some peppermint oil caps to help with gas! Found real chicken broth is nice during my post op time! Finding stuff to mix up and that I will tolerate during this Fluid stage hard!

If possible try t have a variety of sweet as well as savoury Protein options during this phase. meat & vege Soups blended and watered down are good. They fill you up and keep any hunger at bay for a while. Variety helps during this stage. I made a list of possible options for the early stages and had the ingredients on hand, so maybe doing similar will help you too.

Milked-down yogurt is a good option for the liquid phase. Also chicken stock, beef stock, bonox, Vegemite in Water etc. Salty things to balance out all the sweet stuff. You can stir plain Protein Powder into things. Just don't put it into anything too hot or it will curdle. I found that alternating hot and cold helped too.

5. Very inspiring story and amazing to see your pictures.

Thanks Kelli and Lissa

It was great to see your pics from the weekend, looks like fun. And you all look amazing!!!

Catching up after a hectic long weekend, I am so exhausted I can only imagine how pre-sleeve me would have handled the weekend.

Lissa, any dates for when you will be in Sydney?

Yep- got email confirmation today I will arrive on Saturday 9th of November and leave on Wednesday 13th.

Can any Sydney Sleevers meet during that period? I am staying at Parramatta and I don't know Sydney all that well so where ever we meet will have to be easy to find

Can't wait to meet up with you guys!!
