Day 1

Hi all,

 

today is day one of my new life. I have two weeks of optifast, an endoscopy on Friday this week then surgery on the 20th of June :)

 

I'm excited. I feel very lucky to have this opportunity. My BMI is 36. Any other Adelaide future lap banders out there??

    It's day 2 of optifast and so far so good....touch wood. Its not as hard as I thought it was going to be but it is only day 2. I think it is much easier to have this done in Australia.....I had my initial appointment in April and here we are June and it's 2 weeks away. All I have to do is a 2 week optifast diet (with selected 'free' veg). No hoops to jump through, no specific weight to lose prior to surgery etc. So I am feeling very lucky.
