I'm in Australia and my surgery date was 26th October too. Today I begin clear fluids. Still feeling a bit bloated and gassy though. I'm due to be discharged tomorrow. I'm really glad this is what I decided to do. The pre-op was so thorough, and I'm keen to begin a new life. Good luck all!

Glad all is going well! Take care of yourself. Everything I've read and heard is to walk every hr to get rid of the air. I go in tomorrow for mine at 7am.

Hey guys! I was sleeves the 10/28. Still having quite a bit of pain to abd and back. No nausea and I have been tolerating clear liquid diet well. Can't wait tomorrow is puréed! See the doc on Friday to remove my staples. It was tougher than I expected. How are you guys doing?

10/26 sleeved. Feeling better everyday, but still not getting all of my Protein and Water. I feel like i could float away lol. I did drive finally yesterday and did well. I still have a good amount of belly discomfort on my incisions but manageable. 20 lbs down since starting 2 weeks of liquids before surgery up until now 1 week post op

I'm meeting my nurse and dietician today and my doc next week. My clinic doesn't tell you about the next diet stage until this appointment so you don't get food overload - so I'm very excited. I was 114kg when I began the pre-op diet, I was 109kg for surgery and I'm 104kg today.

I use Bodiez Protein Water to get my protein in. The Kiwi and the berry flavour are 30g each. The bottles are 500ml, so one of these a day helps with protein and water, and they're quite nice (considering I don't like cordial I didn't think I'd like flavoured water). I've also been buying some of the Woolworths Soups from the dairy case. The chicken or lamb type ones are low in fat but high in protein, and I just blitz/blender them for a few secs until they become a complete liquid.

Hope all is going well for everyone xoxo

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
