Well I have a date 24th February ...

:thumbup:9 DAYS !!!!!! I could have said no thats too soon but figured after talking to both dietitian and surgeon it was the best way for me to go , even though I am still scared:ohmy: I know I can`t loose the weight without this step I have tried and tried for 20 plus years and have been thinking along these lines for at least 2yrs.. Its now or never, so Optifast for me from tomorrow and I must try to be possitive......

Good night off to read all my notes....

I also got a GREAT compliment from the doctor , he said he wouldn`t have guessed I was in my 60`s... I said thats because my fat has pushed out my wrinkles when I loose weight I`ll probably look like a prune... :hurray: he had a laugh...(I hope I don`t ....end up looking like a prune)

Hello Majj, good to see you are recovering well :wink2:

Yes, i know all about end of month issues, i also work in accounts hehe... take care!

Well saw the dietitian today, alls going well...

Thursday I can start Blended stuff, so might Make Curried chicken and blend me up a meal on Thursday night ...sounds Yuk ! but after Optifast, soup and Juice it will be something ,I can also blend up spaghetti bol, or Baked beans ,have a soft poached egg plus I can also start to have porridge or a weetbix in the morning , some Yougarts, pureed fruit and custards.... Its at least a bit more variety.

Still just the 7 kilos lost since before the surgery but she said that for sure I would be loosing fat its just with all the liquids I am rehidrating whatever that is :? and not to worry about the scales for a while just to get the eating right, so as I don`t get a blockage and cause vomiting in the first 6 weeks its important so the stitches holding the band stay put..(of course you all know this..) :biggrin:

Back to see her in 2 weeks then I should go onto real food (I hope) , Can`t wait to be on normal foods even if its just small amounts.

I have a small Band 10ml with a fill limit of 7mls (I think thats what she said) , guess an appointment will get made for that next visit (at 6weeks)....

Off to bed , Have a great week all feeling heaps better not sore much at all now.....

Great news Good luck , let me know how you go , I am doing great so far and hope its a smooth road all the way still have about a month before I get a fill but thats fine I am doing well on my blended diet , not feeling hungry at all.....

thats really good to hear! i hope so too...

the fill was ok - nothing like a lot of american lap band patients seem to go through! it was quick and easy, a slight bit painful trying to find the port... i felt like i was doing pilates because he asked me to lay on my back, lift both legs and head off the bed! like a situp hehe anyway he found it, jabbed me and put in 2mls... i feel fine so far except for i got really hungrywhen i got home!! i cant explain it, but hopefully i be back to normal tomorrow
