Mate - that you'd even try solid food so soon after surgery is pure madness. Almost a death wish. To even get this far you've risked your life on the operating table already - ask yourself some...

You change something and those around you are obliged to change also - things are not the same and never will be. You are not the same. Having the courage to have the surgery fundamentally states...
I did not lose a single hair through the whole process. I put it down to following my nutrition plan to the letter. Getting protein, drinking clean fluids and a variety of fruit and vege options. All...
From my experience and I'm 18 months out.... You can eat anything you like, just less of it. IF you are expecting to do that at 5 weeks then you are just plain crazy!
Give it time before you...
Yep, I also took to getting my house in order. Some sorted deep seated desire to get prepared for change. Very normal.
I use something like Vitamin water and split it 33% of the drink and the rest water.
And another Aussie here. Had my surgery a year ago. Justine...why Mexico? Some great surgeons here in Perth. Not mosey, just curious.
I think that a lack of weight resistant exercise contributes to weight gain, or a struggle to maintain. We need to challenge our muscles to keep our lean muscle mass and thereby burn the fuel we...
Ah mate - it's early days. Be kind to yourself, what is done cannot be undone and as much at that might freak you out I guess it is the same type of fear that first time Mum's face. Once the baby...
By the way - you start seeing results from the first day. Naturally there are stalls - but that is going to happen regardless of the procedure you choose.
I'm sorry but I do not understand your post. Why is it going to be quicker to lose with bypass instead of sleeve?
I'm one week past my surgical anniversary - I have reached my goal weight. I'm...
G'day from WA. Welcome to the forum. There is lots to learn on the site and a great bunch of people - some cone from Oz.
Cheers and welcome.
I hear you. I had my 1 year anniversary over the weekend and it brought home to me how I felt just before the surgery. At this stage you are left with one option only. Faith. I recall that I had done...
I think swapping to a Greek yoghurt that is low sugar and NOT 0% fat is a great idea. My intake is about the same as yours over the day.
I've swapped to coffee with skim milk - lots of milk and...
Stick to the preop diet. As mentioned it is to prepare your liver for the upcoming surgery - get it nice and small and easy to lift out of the way so the surgeon can get to your tummy to do the...
Yeah I've found that I want my dinner early and it is often small. Much better for your system to have a smaller evening meal as your prepares for sleep and rejuvenation overnight. My big thing is to...
Tracy - just start looking through the site. It's all here for the reading. BIGGEST thing to prepare yourself for is the 3 week stall. Get yourself informed and it will not make you crazy or scared...
Yep. All the little things that go to make your life anew. The magic that is the change for you that is not about dropping pounds. Like crossing your legs like a lady rather heaving one enormous...
You need to get your head straight and aligned with the program. I have found that my food choices have improved over time. My portion sizes are now uniformly smaller than the size I assumed post...
One post, fake picture, no credible experience related on merits of sleeve. Get a life and go peddle bigotry elsewhere.
Yeah 5 weeks out is the hardest period. I hear you on all of it.
Keep to the soft food, makes you feel better - then do that. Add benefibre to your warm liquids - it will fix the constipation. ...
Three week stall. Happens to everyone. Pop in some key words and there will be more info than you can read in a day. Messes with your head - so get prepared mentally.
Yep. Absolutely certain.
Yeah it's real good isn't it. I have a photo of me holding up my 'goal' pants..... They have been taken in once already.
Does it matter how you got fat? I was menopausal - lost weight and put on weight. Post menopause I decided on the surgery.
Really not understanding the thrust of your question, but not sure...
