After years of yoyoing weight and two small children to take care of. Diet and Exercise has always been a big part of my life, but as I age this has slowed down in intensity and is no longer attainable. I have been working with my GP to take weight off but it has come back. I'm worried about my health and knew I needed some help, this decision was not taken lightly.

Hi Brisvegas girl. I'm from Brisbane as well, Northside. I see you're a month post surgery now. How all has gone well for you. I'm 10 months out, and have been so happy with my decision. All the very best for your "journey"
Cheers

Glad you wrote this as I was sleeved yesterday and am still in the tunnel!. The staff here all say the sickness will ease, but it's good to hear it from someone who already passed through!

Feeling much better today. After 5 days of only water and protein drinks, this is the first time i felt like something different. Slight pain in tummy area from healing, not hurting to swallow anymore. Now able to take a big sip of liquids instead of the tiny ones.

I'm 6 days post op also today. Optifast for breakfast and stock cube with warm water lunch, consommé for dinner. Now week 2 will be exactly the same. Have started taking Berroca. Pain only occasionally. Walking etc, doing everything normal. Just bored

Oops, forgot to mention I don't snore anymore and feel extremely healthy even though I haven't eaten for days
