Morning All, Yes it is confusing with diffferent date/time lines, but it is Weds 4th here am. Well Yes I made it, I was banded on Monday and am here to tell the tale. Apart from being a little sore I'm ok, so relieved, and not hungry one bit! All went well, although I did wait from 11am admission until 1640 to be taken to theatre, but it was amazing how calm I was, the staff brilliant, and I found out I'd lost just over 6kg on that optislim over the 2 wks, so that was a bonus. I'm not feeling nauseos at all, far from it and couldnt believe with 2 hrs of returning top the ward I was up on the loo, and having a little stretch of the legs. For all of you out there waiting, believe me it is so worth it and not traumatic, alittle pain yes, but am just keeping on disolvable paracetamol(sorry still spelling a little loopy after anaesthetic), which seem to keep the pain at bay. well have a good one all, will be in touch again.Cheers.

:rolleyes2::eek:Hi, Very boring, but I will really miss "bread" adn crusty rolls. I have been told that this is a food to watch when eating, but it's something when dieting I have needed to cut down or completely out anyway. Cheers Tomorrow is the big day!

Hi Everyone, Well tomorrow is the big day, this has all happened so quick!!!!! I'nm so excited,but packing at the same time, but when I look at my little boys, I know that I have to do this not only for myself bu them. They deserve a healthy Mum. Just to enter my 20cent worth, I have been on optislim for 2 weeks, with 2cups "good" veges at night and a pece of fruit allowed! Yes, I did have a bad day 2/7 ago and succumbed to a handful of chips. But will be glad to taste other things, even if they will be "runny" for a couple of weeks. Best of luck to you all, adn although I'm not computer savvy, will defineitely keep on this thread. Cheers.

Hi Everyone, New to this site. Just saying hello and looking forward to all this great information Yes, I am booked this coming Monday 2/8.....a tad nervous now, but can't wait. Like many of you, have struggled all of life with weight, a long story, but am determined this to be the last chapter and being able to conquer!!! I have struggled on the opti-slim the past 2 wks, and to be honest ate a handful of hot chips yesterday, and yes ashamed of myself, but it was one of those "mum" moments. LIfe very busy, married with 3 young boys, and yes am determined to be healthy and be around for them for many years to come. I'd appreciate any tips , I will return later. Have a great evening, Cheers.

Hi, This is my first post on here, it's all a bit daunting isnt it? Best of luck for tomorrow, I'm sure it won't be long and you know that yes you did make the right decision. I am due this Monday for my LAP-BAND® and have been that busy with everything else this week, so the weekend is here and all of a sudden it's hit me with a thud..........like you.....second thoughts. But know in my heart it's the only way to beat "this struggle" I've had for years. I must admit though I am on here to inload my guilt, I had a handful of hot chips yesterday, yes am on opt-slim, but I was like an animal, has anyone else out there "slipped" on pre-op diets? Anyway on the straight and narrow, best wishes to you tomorrow, can't wait to hear how it all went. Cheers.
