Hi, any sleevers from Sydney?



Recommended Posts

So I can't get this signature thingy right! Any advice? The pic is my inspiration......

I don't have to start VLCD until 1st December, but I'm planning on starting tomorrow (even a little off before flying out will help), and hopefully will get used to taste.....

@@sanaa.a I doubt you will up to "talking" today, but I hope everything went well, and your recuperation is swift :) I fly out Thursday, so may not connect with you again for a few days.

But I will be VERY interested in how you cope with the 2 weeks of mush food...... I have a problem with "texture" foods, don't eat Soups, don't eat mushy foods, so I am a bit worried for those 2 weeks - but I could be that hungry by then I will eat mush happily :)

      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.
