Hi my name is cindie,i am 34 years old,mother to 4 sons and currently weigh 110kg.I was 118kg before i started the liquid optifast diet,i want to get to 65kg as soon as possible!!

I have had a bit of trouble sticking to the optifast diet as my will power isnt very good but im hoping beyond hope that i can still get banded on wedneday.I have been good overall but have had some slip ups during it.

I am really looking forwad to the operation which is getting done at williamstown hospital by mr jason winnett on wed 28/2.09 at 1230pm:thumbup:

Good luck with your surgery!

If you have done "good" overall on your pre-op diet you should be fine. It is hard to be perfect on the pre-op diet because one thinks, "this is my last chance to eat normal before I'm permanently changed!"

Once you get banded you should feel more motivated because cheating could be painful (whether its the band itself, or the gas)... If you stay positive and follow the post-op eating guidelines, YOU WILL DO GREAT!

Again, GOOD LUCK, keep up the good work!
