Hi All,

I'm looking for some more August banders as I am closing in on my surgery date!(21 August!!) An Australian girl here, I'd love to share my experiences with you all as we go through the process.

With 42 kilo to lose (approx 92 pounds) I know I have a big journey ahead but I just can't wait for it all to begin!

Looking forward to talking to you all! :)

Well we will be the Global August Banders!! :lol: I'm Australian Sarah so I work in Kilos and I had to look up what it would be in pounds too!

Are you guys all on Optifast for pre-op or do you have a different brand of shakes elsewhere in the world?

I think the nerves will kick in for me on the morning I am driving to the hospital. EEEEK! I have my mum flying over from the East coast to look after me for 10 days which I am looking forward to as I havent seen her for awhile. We are a 5 hour flight away from each other on opposite sides of our big island :)

So glad I have more August mates! Catch you soon

That's so nice that you get to see your mom! There's nothing quite like a mothers love when one is sick and poorly. I'm starting my pre op diet next week and yes we have slimfast shakes. So I'm really excited to start drinking them (not :)) keep in touch let me know how it goes for you all the way in oz! xxxx
