Thanks for responding guys, just hit the 10 day mark, actually don't mind the diet they've got me on - high Protein, no carb, no sugar. Who did your surgeries??

I am feeling fabulous... back to normal now... i had a full day outing yesterday and did a complete spring clean of the house today.. i have lots of energy and am feeling great.

Its like night and day compared to the first two weeks, i think ive finally got my routine down..

Drink.. wait... eat... wait.. drink

I baked some Breakfast egg muffins because i am trying to wean myself off my Breakfast Protein shakes.. i don't really like artificial anything.. so im starting to get a little more creative with food.... its much easier when you move to solids...

Hiya Jobey.

I also had my sleeve done on the 7th, far North Queensland.

Feeling ok but lack of energy, bit tight in the stomach and not fussed on food just yet.

How did you go?

Hey Nat

I'm doing okay, still have some pain from my 2 right side incisions and a bit of bruising. Went out for the first time today, which was nice.

Also brought some pumpkin Soup, Tomato Soup, yoghurt and juice as I'm hoping the variety will help a little. Had enough of chicken broth lol

I not really fussed with food either but am struggling when my family have dinner as I still want to sit with them for the socialness of it.

How are you doing? Oh and I've lost 13kgs so far including my 2 week pre-op diet

Hey @@Feekenstein I'm great now, first 2.5 weeks post op were the hardest but I'm now 3.5 months out and 34kg down [emoji4] I've had a pretty hard year and this surgery and how much better I feel physically and mentally are the reason I've made it this far. My surgeon was Dr Blair Bowden at The Wesley he was awesome, good bedside manner and excellent surgeon [emoji4]

Hi Brisbane Sleevers

I'm new to this scene but yet ready to begin this process !

Can someone clarify for me please, is the 'Early Release of Superannuation on Specified Compassionate Grounds Form' completed by my GP and Specialist?

Any reviews out there for Dr Reza Adib who practices at Wesley Hospital Brisbane?

Anyone had experience with QSuper and Early Release of Superannuation Funds?

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
