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.

That is brilliant, well done. Any stories or tips you want to share with a newbie?

hi there, I am an Aussie living abroad and would love to join your FB group if that is ok as I speak more in kgs etc ;-) But if I join the group will it show up on others feeds that I joined? I haven't shared my journey yet with anyone and don't want it out of the bag because of joining a group or commenting on etc. thanks

Yes please :) JOIN US :) xoxox No it will

Not show up on the feed as it is a closed and private group :)

Add me on Facebook and I can invite you to the group.

Xox hugs.

I joined and then got nervous about posts being seen and unjoined. I checked and double checked my settings but I just got nervous that it would show up in someones side panel thing on FB (I get on my computer but not on the phone or laptop strangely enough) . I guess that speaks volumes as the way I am feeling right now. In order for me to have my Op I have to have a unit of A neg on standby. So the process here in Oman is that you have to find someone to donate on your behalf and they mark that unit against your name in that you have "deposited", it doesn't mean you get it but its like a bank deposit withdrawal system. So I have to ask someone to donate for me. BUT I have to find someone A neg. I really don't want to lie to anyone but I just didn't want to actually say I was having the surgery so now I am in a spot. But I will come on here and chat ;-)

Are you an Aussie living in Oman? That would be interesting! No need to worry it is a closed group and won't show on your feed but I understand your desire to keep it private. It's no one else's business. If you need to explain, just say that you have to have an operation on your stomach and when they ask just say it's nothing serious. I know other people say they are having a hernia operation because often that is repaired at the same time.

Newcastle, 2hrs outside of Sydney. Aussiecosy are you getting nervous? I'm not nervous about actually going through all the processes but I am worried about the anaesthetic as I have had surgeries before and I react really bad with vomiting I'm lucky I've got a sister who has had the sleeve 7 mths ago so I used her as a guinea pig. I'm 35 years olds and I started at 136 kg and I'm about 131kg at the moment.

      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.
