Upcoming Sleeve Surgery - Oh and Hi! I'm new!



Recommended Posts

Hi Guys

It's damn near impossible to find an Aussie forum for weight loss surgery!! OR am I just not looking right?!!!!

Anyway...

I have my surgery on the 8th April this year, and super excited and absolutely terrified in one go!! HaHa!

Just looking for fellow Aussies who've had this surgery. I'm going through Northshore Weightloss in Sydney and would LOVE to hear form others who've used the same centre.

Have you tried looking in the social groups? Also there is an area in the forum with topics for pretty much everywhere it seems.

There is an Australian thread called Attention ! Australian Sleevers, here at Vertical Sleeve Talk. Have a look in the 'Forums' tab?????

Look forward to seeing you there

Hi Shyne, I am Aussie and I use gastricsleevesupport.com which is an Aussie site. I think I saw your name on there.

I am April 23rd at St Georges Private in Sydney. Scared and excited too!

      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.
