Hi all,

I'm new to this board, & a new bandit too.

I'm Fee from the NSW South Coast & I was banded on 31 January. Including pre-op diet, I've lost 9kg so far, gotta be happy with that!

I'm totally addicted to scrapbooking, photography & my computer, but I really need to move my butt a bit more now:rolleyes

Look forward to chatting!

Hi Feebs, My name is Susannah and I was banded on 2/2/07. I lost 6 kgs on Optifast, and 2 since banding. I am 11 days out so I have not yet been able to resume my exercise program to the full extent. I guess I will start losing more once I am able to start exercising again.

Welcome anyway.

Susannah

Hi Loretta anmd all..........

22 more sleeps !!!!! OMG

well after yesterday im still stressing!!. Respiratory function tests on the 28/2 could prove to be a problem. Can i borrow someones lungs as mine are stuffed. Well the Physician knows the op is on the 9/3 so im sure if he wanted me to also have sleep studies then he would have booked me in for them too. Im off for an ECG today.

Someone told me on another site .... dont stress. he will just be checking your lungs so they can keep a closer eye on you if there are any problems there.....

Anyway... i didnt sleep at all last night.... lots of thoughts racing in my head. Ive decided that i am going to start Optifast today ( just under 3 weeks to op). I know Dr Nottle didnt indicate i needed to go on it but im going to prepare myself as best i can. Ive had my many Hotcoss Buns and easter eggs so im happy now :hungry: .

Hey all,

I haven't posted in a while, so thought I'd drop in & say hi!

Still loving my band. I've lost 33kg now, & have 27 to go. Hoping I'll make it by the end of the year:)
