@Brookebelynda.. good luck with that. I've been with HCF for 15 years with second top cover and they still made me wait a year.

Yep didn't work. :( I don't really want to withdraw 20kfrom my super so I guess 12month wait begins now haha.

I wonder if you could just pay 12 months worth of premiums straight away and then not need the waiting period!

Is any of you two on FB? Maybe I could set up a group to keep in touch and keep each other accountable. And any other awesome aussies who may want to join. In Hobart there is not much after care support :-(

Hi Banded Becks am in Sydney. Where you?

Each day getting better. Yesterday I had two shakes, about another half litre of Water and a cup of ginger tea, plus a 30 minute walk. Lots of sleep too. Middle feels a bit uncomfortable sometimes but I am pleased to be off the meds.

Am going to try for 50g Protein today and 2L Water, plus a walk.

Have been making lists of all the yummy small Protein rich puréed meals I can move onto once past this full liquid stage.

Have found a couple of great blogs - the world according to eggface and gastricsleeve4me which have helped pass the time.

Have booked hairdressers for highlights this arvo. Think it will be a great treat. I will sit and relax and drink peppermint tea

Have a good day everyone. Hope the post surgeryites are getting better. Every day is a bit easier.

Found a page called 41 sneaky ways to add protein to every meal. Has some yummy recipes.

I'd be interested in joining a private Facebook group too. I've tried creating one but it needs another person/friend for me to do it and I don't know any other GS people. I've called it Aussie GS. Anyone want to become my friend so I can make it? Piri Nola... I can't find you on FB maybe an email address?

Im now day 4 post op and the pain of eating is putting me off.

In past when loosing weight it is all about will power, and practising will power. Telling yourself no and having the mental strength. It is definately a muscle you have to continue to work out. There are a lot of youtube clips about practising will power and how to increase this. Hope this helps in some way. All else fails go to bed early :-p

      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.
