Hey All, Well I am back from having my banding done and I have got to say that it was not as bad as I thought. I feel a sore at the moment but that is to be expected. Everything went well and my surgeon did a hernia repair as well. So now it is down to the serious business. Tas I hope all went well for you as well. Sunshine23:thumbup:

Hey Tas Are you as nervous as me. I keep telling my hubby I am not going (I am really I haven't suffered optoslop for 2 weeks for no reason). I have the same stuff as you. My dieticien also told me to get some low fat custard and yogurts as well. I am so looking forward to a cup of coffee. I don't know how but I did not cheat at all on the optislop. I can't wait until I never see that stuff again. Good Luck tomorrow Tas and take care. Good luck to anyone else that is due in the near future. Sunshine23:thumbup:

Thanks for that. Yes I would probably take to much as well. Hubby keeps telling me that I am not going on a weeks vacation. Will take your advice and take the bear essentials. Sunshine23:thumbup:

OK this might seem like a stupid question but what do I take to the hospital with me on Tuesday ? Sunshine23:thumbup:

Hi All, Well I am off for my pre surgery weigh in, I have lost 13 kilo's so I hope they are happy. Surgery is on Tuesday it has come around so quick can't believe it. God luck to everyone. Sunshine23

Hey Tas, How are you going? Did you make it through the weekend ok ? I must admit I had a bad day on Friday, I could have packed it in but I didn't. Today I feel fine I find that I am not hungary it is the thought of eating something solid and Savoury that I have to get over. We are on the downward road now only 7 days to go. Woo Hoo. I have lost 12 kilo's so far and have to go to the surgeon on Friday to get weighed so he should be pleased, He only wanted me to loose 8. Keep thinking positive. Sunshine23:thumbup:

Hey Tas, Stick in there. I started the optifast on the 3rd or Jan with 2 optifast and a careful meal, then on Monday I started the 3 optifast and I have lost 9 kilo's already. The optifast does get better. I am not saying that I don't want to eat coz I do but keep remembering the big picture. We only have 12 days left we can do it !!!!!! Sunshine23:thumbup:

Hi, I started optifast 6 days ago for 2 shakes a day and meat and salads for dinner. I have lost 6 kilo's, can't believe it. Start the 3 shakes a day on Monday so at least I have a good start. Good luck with your op. Sunshin23

Glad the op went well, can't wait until I have mine done only 2.5 weeks to go. Keep us informed how you go. Sunshine23

Well once again the New Year resolution is to loose weight. The difference is I am having the band done in 3 weeks, so this should be one resolution I can keep. Happy New Year everyone. Sunshine23:thumbup:

Hubby found a reciept for a game for the Wii that I bought him so suprised me and bought me the Wii fit for Xmas. Really pleased can't wait to start using it. (Decorating at the moment so have to wait to put the Wii together, should be tonight) Sunshine23:thumbup:

I bought hubby the Wii sport for chrissie and spent 1/2 a day looking for the second remote can't wait to start playing tennis and bowling. Merry Christmas all. Sunshine23:tt1:

Thanks for that. I may just squeeze in then. Sunshine23:thumbup:

Hey Tas, Went well with the dietician. She was quite pleased as I have lost just on 5 kilo's. She said that even though Xmas was coming try not to go silly and try to get some walking and swimming done. I have to start the Optifast on the 13th of January. Not really looking forward to that. But it is only for 2 weeks before the op so I will deal with it. I finish work tomorrow until the 5th of Jan and I am going to have 2 shakes a day from then and them go to the 3 shakes from the 13th of Jan. Don't worry about your visit you will be fine they are really nice. Have a great Xmas Sunshine23:thumbup:

Hi, Does anyone know the weight restrictions on the Wii Fit Thanks Sunshine23:thumbup:

I see the dietician this Thursday. At the moment I am having 2 Optifast a day and a normal meal at night and the odd bottle of wine. I have lost about 5 kilos so far. I have to do the full optifast for 2 weeks before. It will be worth it though. Good luck with yours Sunshine23:thumbup:

Thanks for the advice on the other sites I will have a look at them. Keep positive you will get a date coming through soon. Sunshine23.

I had to wait 12 months for my health insurance to kick in but at least I know that I am not doing this on a whim. I have done plenty or research on the past 12 months and think this is the best solution for me. I am lucky as my GP is really behind me and is giving me loads of support as is my hubby and the rest of the family. I think it is really important to have a good support network behind you. This sight is really good I have been lurking around for the this site for the past 3 months and have found some of the advice invaluable. You sound as if you are doing really well, keep up the good work. Sunshine23

Hi All, Well I finally have a date for my op. January 27th and I can't wait. Really looking forward to starting my new life. I know it will be hard but it will be worth it. Is anyone else getting there band done on the 27th Jan. My surgeon is Dr Nolan on the Gold Coast. Sunshine23

Thanks for that. Was getting worried about what would happen. Want to loose the weight for the same reasons as you. Hope all is going well. I am hoping to get the band at the end of January. Sunshine23

First of all I would like to say hi to everyone. I have been reading the threads and would like to day congratulations to all of you for loosing the weight. I had my first consultation today and are booked into the dietician and psyclogist for the 20th of November. What does the psycologist do and talk about ? What does the dietician talk about ? Any help with all this would be appreciated. Sunshine23:thumbup:
