Hi There, I'm assuming by now you have probably had your surgery- but I thought I'd respond anyway :)
My surgery was performed by Dr Baker on June 14th.
I'd like to be in touch with some other...

I'm lucky to get through a 600ml bottle a day. Really not good, but all the sipping fills me right up, and adding the to the no drinking before and after meals is making it tough. My meals are...

Hi Everyone,
I'm almost 2 weeks post op and I'm struggling with the water intake. I'm onto puréed food (of which I can only have a tiny amount), but I just can't seem to get in a lot of water. I...

A few days on after my reply to this comment, I now know this 'full' feeling! As well as the 'rock in the chest' feeling! I can only handle 2-3 spoonfuls of food before I am full!

I too would like to know the answer to this! My surgery was June 14th and today I have decided to try some plain yoghurt and custard. Both are going down fine, apart from the gurgling and I just...

Hi there,
Don't forget vegetables! I haven't taken an vitamins at all, just loads of veggies with my shakes. My nutritionist advised that I avoid potato, sweet potato and corn, along with fruit. I...

Congrats, Carmen! Every little milestone has got to be celebrated! I can't wait to experience the same! :)

Well done!! You must feel so proud of yourself right now! Congratulations on achieving your goal! This is so inspiring!!!

Congrats on reaching the 4th day!! I am on day 5 and also have my surgey on the 14th, however I'm on the other side of the world in Australia!! I too know how tough it is (if you look for my blogs,...

Thanks Everyone! I decided to bite the bullet and call my dietician. She said that if I were on the diet purely for weight loss, it would be ok, but since it is to shrink my liver, I am not allowed...

Hi there, I was given a list of vegetables and my shakes, which is pretty much it. I'm actually afraid to call and ask my dietician in case she says no!! Maybe I should just be brave and ring her!!

I am feeling so flat and tired today. I have zero energy and need some kind of pick-me-up.
I've done a little research and have seen that some people have been allowed to have lean meat and fish...

Thanks for the suggestion! I think jelly will be my saviour LOL!! Thank goodness I love the stuff, because I don't know how I'd deal without it!! :)

Best of luck to you!! I start mine on Friday (it will be for 14 days), and I am really beginning to stress about it! This week is my week of indulgence, I'm going out tomorrow night for a big, fat,...

You'll have to pardon my ignorance, but I'm not sure what Crystal Light is! We don't have that here in Australia, but I'm we'd have something similar! :)

Hi All!
As of Friday, I have 2 weeks til my Surgery (EEEEK- SOO EXCITED!!), so I have purchased all my pre-op shakes, bars and soups, and have sat down today to write up a shopping list for the...

Good for you! I wish you all the best in your recovery and on your new life :D

Thanks for your honesty and sharing your story!! I'm a newcomer to the group, and I am really enjoying the nitty gritty stories of members' experiences!

Best of luck to you! Endo is a terrible thing- which I knew nothing about! There really needs to be more education about it. It had essentially ruined my life, thankfully my sleeve surgery has now...

Best of luck to you, and all the best wishes for a smooth surgery and speedy recovery!!

Hi There!
My date is June 14th!! I having been waiting for what seems like FOREVER, yet the day is kind of just around the corner!

Thanks Amelia! I feel welcome already! Consider my feet officially 'wet'!! :D

Hi There! I mustn't have looked hard enough to find the Aussies! Glad to know there's a few around!
I'm only 165cm tall, so I'm really 'frumpy' looking and I hate it!!
My ultimate goal is to lose...

Hello Everyone!
It has taken me some time to summon the courage to join the page (after being a long time looker!), however I feel that now is the time!
It appears I am an outsider (being from...
