Hi all any Sydney Sleevers here, pre-op or post-op..??

Here's my story:

I got Sleeved on the 19th June in Sydney Australia. I am still suffering shoulder tip pain but better than in Hospital, I cannot eat more than a 3 teaspoons of puréed chicken Soup so I'm going to make another batch of soup but more brothy and light. I started this journey @ 156kg on the 5th March and weighed in on the morning of the surgery the 19th of June @ 146kg now I weigh 138kg.. The funny thing is I don't feel 18kg lighter..!! All in all I feel positive am doing my darnedest to walk as much as I can and I cannot wait for FIJI in September..

      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.
