Yup I was on Optifast for 2 weeks before surgery too. And I could have a cup of non starchy veggies a day too.

Hi girls.... well my start on the liquid diet didnt happen... i need a kick up the butt. Maybe when i see Dr Nottle on 12/2 i will begin to feel more motivated. its been such a long weight to finally see him as i originally booked an appointment in october and cancelled and have had to wait all this time after re-booking.

Hi Bronnie, I know the feeling I was supposed to start my diet 9 days ago and I cut down on things but didn't really get into it, then I looked at the video that Sussanah put me onto and it made me realise that I have waited this long to do this and it's so close that if I don't do this diet I could risk slippage or even worse not being able to have it done!!! It's been a long road to this point but you CAN do it!!! As i mentioned in my other post I was able to do the Tony Ferguson program 8 different flavours to choose from as I can't stomach the Optifast, might be soething you can ask your Doc about. Good Luck:biggrin1:

I will check in with you all, as soon as I am up to it.

Keep up the good fight girls, and Mark.:biggrin1:

By now Susannah will have joined many of you post lapbanders. Im still waiting, waiting, waiting!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------

1st consult with Dr nottle: 12/2/07

Dietician and Physician appointments: 14/2/07

Cant wait to hear how it went!

Its great to hear how anyone went with their banding but its funny when you had the same doc, same hospital. Its reliving the experience all over again. I was so scared and so excited at the same time.

[Trin 0]

Okay, I thought I'd be very brave and stop being a voyeur on this wonderful forum.

I am soon to be banded (14th Feb, Ray McHenry, Knox Private Knox) and are on my 4th day of Optifast which I might add is an unpalatable as 'Clag', thank God for the Optifast Bars!!!

My long time friend (we went to school together) has just been banded yesterday and is recovering well. We have grown up together and gone to weight watchers together and we will now share this experience.

I know you all will understand my feelings of both exaltation and dread and I would just like to add that reading all your personal journeys is enlightening and informative.
