I just paid for the surgery and now I am having a freak out moment! Wondering if I am doing the right thing!! Ahhh! Hope your Monday has started off well. :)

Haha.....been there done that! Once I clicked the 'submit' button on the bpay, I thought 'no going back now'!

Best $5000ish you will ever spend :)

Yes my fiancé didn't grasp why I was having a freak out! It's done now! Confirmed my follow up appt isn't in mandurah but back at the hospital so that's good! They say ill only be in hospital 2 nights so that will be good!Yes 5k commitment! I think that's the scary part, you don't want to fail like every other diet!! All upwards from here!!

Hi Krystal

I took knitting, a book, some magazines and my iPad. I didn't use ant of the cause I was too tired, sick and couldn't focus on anything!

I watched tellie, slept, walked and talked to the other lady in my room.

I was in hospital for a total of three days.

One thing I wish I had taken was some PJs that I could wear with the IV. Those hospital gowns just didn't do it for me. However, finding pjs that open at the shoulder isn't exactly easy. Plus, if you get a nurse to help with the dressing part, they can disconnect your IV so you can put your own clothes on. My problem was, the nursing care wasn't that crash hot, and asking them to do anything took some time, because they were so busy. It was easier to just wear the hospital gown :/

Oh that sucks! I was going to go buy some warm ones as I am not used to the cold!!

How did you go wearing pants after?

Yep I was planning on taking books and the iPad, better to have them I guess! It will be nice to rest up even though I'll probably be super sore!

Did you need pain meds when you went home? I had a big bowl of Pasta last night! Last one!

I am finding it hard to think what we might do after this, so much of what we do up here is bbq, drinks, and very social so it's going to be such an adjustment!

How are you going this week? Good I hope :)

I wore Tracky dax for a week, and the put my jeans on to find they weren't tight at all!

Pain medication consisted of soluble panadol for a couple of days, but that was it. I needed maxalon to stop the nausea for a couple of days as well.

I'm going well this week. Still on puréed as I find 'normal' food still gets a bit stuck...biput it's only been 4 weeks.

The scales have come to a screaming halt. Most frustrating. It's normally around now I give up on a diet and have a pig out....but I can't! Fingers crossed they start moving soon.

What date is your op?

I have hardly any warm clothes but shouldn't have to go outside much in the first week. I mainly have jeans up here but more shorts etc as it's usually so warm!

I have made some pumpkin Soup and I also made a coconut curry chicken so I puréed some of that. I got the dietician info today with the Protein powder so ill order some of that.

Operation is this coming Monday, fly to Perth Sunday! Nervous about being on my own! I have a skype consult tomorrow for the anesthetist - thank goodness for technology!

I'm sure your stall will be short lived! How much have you lost now, what was your surgery weight!

How have you been going? I'm doing ok, had a bit of pain yesterday but think I overdid it with being out. Eating soups and liquids is all going well! Not feeling hungry but get jealous of some peoples food just cos!

Yep, can relate! I want that piece of pizza, but I'm buggered if it will fit in!

Just take things easy and your recovery will continue to go well.

I'm doing well.. I have lost 10kgs not to bad in 5 weeks, considering the stupid stall I had.

It gets easier, and I'm learning what,when and how much to eat. food is becoming not so much of a focus anymore.

I put on a jacket this morning as I am desperate for something warm to wear to the footy. All my jackets were way too small.

I was gobsmacked when it actually fit! No tightness in the arms, or across the back, and I could even do up the buttons. It's one of those 'NSV's' that I read about all the time, and it feels good!

      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.
