Brisbane Sleevers - less than 1.5 weeks till surgery

[Feekenstein 23]

@@TeresaLW Well done on making the first step! You need to have two medical reports; one from your GP and one from the surgeon. It takes about 4 weeks to get it all sorted. Good luck

Honestly couldn't have asked for a better Dr to help me through the process. How fast did he progress you through the different post op eating stages? because I think he's moved me pretty fast, I was pretty much on shakes and purées like straight away

I did liquids (broth, yoghurt, Soup, coffee) for 2 weeks then purees for 2 weeks then real food again after a month. But I had a dietitian that he works with give me the all clear not him himself. He's great isn't he?? [emoji4]
