If you can get Quest bars there, they're loaded with Fiber AND Protein

I have been having them for Breakfast for last 2 weeks - within 3 days of starting them so did the Constipation Stopped thm on Thursday bum back to normal by Saturday after liberal application of Weetbix

Will still have the bars, but as a snack rather than breakfast.

As an aside - 6 week post op stats and ongoing pictures now up on teh blog if anyone wants a looksee.

Hey fellow Aussie sleevers, I'm done! Surgery went well, I'm in HDU, doing well

[BCs 1000 364]

Glad to hear you are through. Was your surgery this morning? How is your pain and nausea?

[NaomiAus 104]

No, surgery was around 2pm, nausea and pain are not too bad, I'm just mostly uncomfortable

[lizcan 77]

Well done. Now the exciting stuff happens.

[NaomiAus 104]

It's such an incredible relief when you wake up, knowing that your safe. I worried myself sick for the week leading up, positive I wouldn't make it through

[froody 9]

Yay, Naomi! Glad to see you through the other side! Keep us up to date on the recovery and beyond.

I'm doing well, I've only had one wave of nausea which was momentary, the gas pain is very low now. I feel extremely lucky that I'm doing so well.

How are you going? Have you started the Optifast yet, your date should be coming up soon

I'm Kiwi so far I haven't seen any other Kiwi here. I'm sleeved in Mexico on the 21st December. Can't wait!!

NZ KIWI GIRL!!

[froody 9]

Yeah, nah. Pretty sh•t lol. Officially start this Wednesday, have been trying off and on to stick to it but no go - I suck at it. Hoping a miracle happens and I suddenly keep it up continuously lol

[frazildazil 18]

Great stuff, Ifrit!

The rate I'm going, I'll be twenty kilos heavier by the time December ninth roles around. I just can't seem to stop the food funeral - pizza, tuna Pasta bake (which I love and hadn't had for years), all sorts of junk .... I do well for a day or two and then bang, it's back to eating whatever I feel like, whenever I feel like. I seriously want it to stop because I don't want to have to take off what I've just put on, but can't seem to help myself.

Sigh.

Roles = rolls

I'm much the same!! I think I've put on 5kg since confirmed date. Hell I have 4 weeks to go.....have to slow it down.

Hey everyone! Great to hear the journeys! Welcome to the other side those who have had surgery recently!! Sorry I haven't been on much!

Re: early weeks, Fluid & Constipation - for some reason a water bottle with a bit of sugar free cordial is much easier to drink than straight Water. Always always carry a bottle with you. For Protein that goes down easily, up and go energise is fantastic - easy to sip, fills you up and great shot of protein. Also Metamucil sachets that dissolve in water. Keep going gals!!!

I've just had 3 month post op check up. 15kgs gone, 2 sizes down, much more energy. Can eat anything in small amounts. Started Zumba, easy to choose the stair option now. Feeling great.

Those wound issues? Apparently the sutures they close under the skin were not cut close enough and keep breaking through. 120days til they dissolve - so 30 to go!!!

Yeah, nah. Pretty sh•t lol. Officially start this Wednesday, have been trying off and on to stick to it but no go - I suck at it. Hoping a miracle happens and I suddenly keep it up continuously lol

Mine starts Tuesday but I was planning to start tomorrow. Are you allowed any food or is yours liquid only?

[froody 9]

Mrs kaje - yes, I can have two cups of non starchy veggies.

Just want the next two weeks over already
