hi all I am from Australia will be banded on June 6th 2008 I joined the forum a few weeks ago .So i am in with the Jazzy Junes glad to also have a chat with my thirties forum pals.I start my optifast on the 19th May not long to go .Its getting exciting as well as scary ,especially the optifast stage i just hope i can stick with it everybody says it tastes horrible.Ah well what do they say no pain no gain or at least i am teling myself that Good luck everyone on your journeys

Hi Ronni Iam Tammy my surgery is on the 6th June i know how you feel anxious but happy which hosital are you having the surgery i will be going to ST George Private in NSW cant wait.Good luck for surgery

Hi Mandi Jo I start my optifast on the 23rd May and my surgery is on the 6th June.I am only allowed optifast ,low joule jelly and the 1 cup of vegies or salad a day,no oil or salt on these.I cant say that i am looking forward to this in the least oops i forgot clear broth as well .A lot of the posts say to make th eoptifast with icy cold water and ice cubes as it tastes better that way.Ah well no pain no gain they say .Best of luck for your lap band day and good luck with the rest of the pre diet

i suspected as much ah well no pleasure without a bit of pain it will surley be worth it every kilo coming off is a kilo which i will hopefully never see again

ps:does optifast tastes as bad as everyone says ?
