Jobey 177 Posted May 29, 2016 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?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jobey 177 Posted May 29, 2016 How are you feeling at 5 weeks? I think the first week post op is what I'm most worried about Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeedaBreak4Me 1,755 Posted May 29, 2016 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...

Nat M 0 Posted June 12, 2016 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? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobey 177 Posted June 13, 2016 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 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feekenstein 23 Posted September 8, 2016 @@Jobey how are you doing after the op? I've got my surgery next week, would be good to know how you are travelling? Who was your surgeon? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jobey 177 Posted September 8, 2016 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] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TeresaLW 1 Posted September 15, 2016 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?
