My operation is today. I have to check in at Hospital in an hour.
Mixed feelings. I've had a little cry - don't really know why and am continuing to be a little teary. Probably nerves etc.
Will post again on the flip side.
Hi Chell, The optifast is ok. I'm having one shake, 1bar and one dessert a day + 140g chicken breast & 2 cups of non starch veggies + 3ltrs of water (approx 750cal all up).
I've been on it for one week and lost 6kg which is awesome. Day 2 & 3 were pretty brutal in the detox stage (caffeine & sugar withdrawals) and had a wicked headache but I feel great now I have to lose approx 80kg all up - so long journey ahead for me! Good luck with your journey
Thanks for the welcome everyone. Day 4 of 20 pre-op diet and feeling much better. Headache is just about gone and weight is certainly dropping (even though I know a lot of it is water weight).
I'm so happy I've found this forum! Good luck ladies who've just had their surgery..... My turn in 17 days
Hey fellow Aussies! Sydney girl here. I'm having sleeve done on 20th Oct. Am on day 3 of pre op diet. Major headaches as caffeine and sugar withdrawals play havoc lol but today is better than yesterday
