A small bale of hay for me.

The girl in the bed beside me when I was done in September was only 20 and the doctor in Brisbane had no hesitation in the world in doing her

hang in there......... It is all worth it. I couldn't take the drinks but quite liked that bars. however vowed that I would never have another one after surgery... However I now quite like them and often look forward to having one at breakfast. My favourite is the cappuccino one. I lost 11 kilos in my 3 weeks on optifast.

Hi, I couldn't drink those drinks so I used the bars... I just LOVE the cappuccino one.

Judy, How often do you get an angel charm??? Sounds exciting

I have a very definitive time where my decision was made. I went to the doctor (new doctor that I really feel comfortable with) for my repeat of my blood pressure medication and for the past 20 years every time I get my new 6 months repeat I always think without actually saying "next time I come I will be lighter and my medication will be reduced" However I don't know where it came from but I said to the doctor"If I'm not 20 kilos lighter by the next time I come I'm going to have to do something serious, and his reply was..... Lapbanding is wonderful and I could bring you in a lot of people who have had wonderful success" I weighed 142kilos and was seriously following WW and losing weight. 6 days later I was on a holiday and binging my head off and was 6 kilos heavier..... in the depths bleakness and despair... 4 weeks later I had the surgery. THANK GOD I DID...

I follow the weight watchers food plan, ie I count my points and weigh and measure just to make sure that my amounts aren't too much. It is what I know as I have been doing it for 20 years.(Obviously without too much success ) However I have removed all sweets from it now. Only good food.

Sheba, Didn't you get a programme to follow for your time after banding...<br /> i had a very regimented programmed to follow.<br /> There would have been no possibility of that happening.

Hi, I'm from Mackay Queensland I flew to Brisbane and had my band put in on the 27 September by George Hopkins. It is without the very best present that I have ever given myself

I was on optifast programme, I had 3 optifast bars a day and 2 cups of salad. I lost 11 kilograms

Breakfast 2 pieces of toast with baked beans Lunch 1 cup of salad which had ham, tomato, lettuce, carrot, capsicum, cucumber, and light mayonnaise 125g canned fruit with a small dob of yoghurt over the top tea 1 cup of fried rice which had vegetables in it.

I used the Opti-fast bars

I had a really good day, I didn't feel overfull like past years and got on the scales this morning and I have lost weight sooooo I had a really good Christmas... I am so happy that I had this surgery.

Hey Julie, I will be very interested to see how I am going health wise when I go to the doctor for my next set of blood tests. I don't measure protein or anything... I just have approx 1 cup of food per meal. Your loss is awesome.

Hi Amy, I had my operation on the 26 September...
