Any Aussie sleevers?



Recommended Posts

Best of luck guys. I posted in here a year ago saying I was getting sleeved soon. Ended up having it done on 29th February 2016. Fast forward 10 months and I have lost 45 kg and my BMI has gone from 41 to 25!!! Best decision I have EVER made.

Hahaha thank

I just had an issue eating a bit of mango omg it got stuck down into my chest ( I think lol) ..... whoa remember to chew properly and don't rush IT HURTS lol

I managed to find these Vitamins at the hospital I was operated at. After I'm done with these I'll go to ones I just swallow. At $35 plus dollars they aren't cheap. They weren't prescribed just over the counter.

No hair loss as yet apparently it happens around the 12 week mark. My hair is shaved on the sides and the only hair I have with length in on top. So I don't know whether I'll notice it or not...

Hi. I'm having my surgery on 23 January 2017 south of Sydney. Starting pre op diet today (it's 3am at the moment).

I'm lactose intollerant so only pre op shakes I can have are Celebrity Slim Dairy & Gluten free.

Also freaking out about the hair loss. My son is 8 months old this week so I'm still recovering from pregnancy Hair loss. Hoping it's not too bad.

Glad to see fellow Aussies out there. I have Feb 9 date for surgery in Perth. Finally! Excited. My surgeon doesn't mandate liquid diet but I will be doing it as I have fatty enlarged liver. Going to get in best physical shape to ensure safe surgery. He recommends Isopure Zero drinks. Very high in Protein and comes in about 6 flavours including tea. Have to buy on line.

U can buy Protein waters from a store in Riverton forum and my gym at goodlife carousel sells them. ( if it's the same or similar thing)?.... I don't like the ones from the gym as they taste like pure sugar.... the others from the health food store were ok.. mind u I just did optislim

My dr at Murdoch never told me to do the two week pre op but his off sider did as my liver was fatty...

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
