Different hemisphere, but the same. Just because you are north of the equator and your seasons are different doesn't mean freak outs don't happen. And you should. But I would not have changed anything.

Yeah true. Those feelings are universal, no matter where in the world you are.

We have started autumn here. So with my surgery in two weeks i am a little worried my "cold weather head hunger" will kick in.

How far out are you?

Helllloooooo !!!

I am on the Gold Coast, QLD since 2002.

Before my move, I lived most of my life in Sydney (Bondi Beach) ....

My Sleeve was 7 weeks ago, and the worst thing for me was thinking and worrying about it Pre-op.

I'm still here, healthier and happier!

@, congratulations ! PM me if I can be of any help.

@@aussiecosy, where in QLD are you?

Any more Aussies around on this site ?

Greetings from Dubai!! I'm scheduled for a sleeve April 30th.. I too have mixed feeling but mainly excited.. Like with every surgery I think what freaks me out the most is the GA. Other than that I think I'm prepared (well I hope I am) for all post-op side effects.. Wishing you (and me) good luck !

      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.
