1 week to go for surgery !

The Monday would be great for me!! I will be at training at the Institute of Psychiatry (@Concord Hospital) until about 5 but am free as a bird after that!

ok - sounds like Monday 11th November in the evening in the city is the easiest so far - There are heaps of bars and restaurants in the darling harbour, cockle bay and king street wharf area - maybe we could meet at Critini's at Darling harbour and then deside if we stay there or go somewhere else?

How are all the Aussies going anyways?? Glad to see people meeting up :-)

All good here - Yes we are trying to get together for a Sydney catch up - it is great to meet people face to face!

I will book my flights and stay somewhere around Darling Harbour

Have a drink (or 2 for me). I will have a Margarita in Vegas for you all. Wish I could have been there :(

I am sure Sue will give you a great tour of my home lol

Checking in from Newcastle. We are going to check out the cathedral and climb to the top to get a good view, then check out the museum. We already explored the historic section of the CBD yesterday. We are also going to take a very cold dip in the Newcastle Ocean Pool.

This afternoon we will be in Sydney for the next four days. We will be staying in half a house that the owners made available on AirBNB and we will be convenient to the CBD via public transit. It will be cheaper and better than staying at a hotel. We prefer living like locals when we can. I got my run in yesterday in Port Macquarie. 7km along the Water. It was gorgeous. I'm proud of myself for continuing my running regime. Eating is going well too. My restriction is good so I don't even feel like I have to make perfect choices. Between not eating much and so much walking and running I bet I will drop several kilos over the next three weeks on the road!

Hey Misty, I work in the city, so if you would like to catch up let me know..would be good to meet you if you have time in Sydney

AusSmith...So exciting..how are you handling the Optifast?

Bella, yep the Aussies are going strong and rocking their sleeves :) How are you doing?

I can't believe we will miss meeting you but I am sure we will do so on one of my future works trips to Sydney in the new year. Enjoy Vegas!

yes Aussiegirl, it is a shame you won't be here. I am sure you will have a few margaritas for us! How are you going - I didn't get to see the take 5 article -wonder if it is too late to pick up a copy!

Liss - My husband is going to pick me up after our meeting (so I can have a couple of drinks!) - we can give you a lift back to Parramatta afterwards.

Doing fine, I was worried the first day but haven't had a problem. I have been mixing black coffee with the coffee shake to get rid of the sweetness and it's been great.

I've not been told we can't have coffee after the surgery so I'll have to check. How long after surgery were you allowed to have coffee ?
