Broadbeach is basically at Surfers Paradise, and they are both about 15-20min from the theme parks. Not far at all.

Most of the big hotels, apartments etc are at Broadbeach.

Hope you have a great trip!

Hi All,

Just dropped in on this, Try the brisbane holiday village, and stay in the cosmo cabins, all the facilities of a hotel and only 20mins from the theme parks. It has a pool, mini golf, etc like an upmarket holiday park. Check out the website www.brisbaneholiday.com.au

Good Luck...

Hey Fee...

well, you know, it's QLD after all - so per usual it's hot! Yesterday was 36C...but today was much cooler (29 or 30c I think) and a little overcast...even if it rains it will still be hot!

Today it's been looking like it's going to rain, but nothing yet. Good luck for the weekend.

Hi Dionne

Dr De lacey did my procedure, only problem I am having is 13 days post op, swelling has gone down and I feel like i can eat anything. Got approval to go to vitamised early, but tried some soft casserole tonight and it went down no problems. I am being careful measuring out only half a cup at each meal . Did you have a similar problem, when did you get your band done?

cheers

Hi I'm in Central Queensland. I was banded on 21 March 2007 and first fill was 26 April. If anyone would like to contact me if you live close I'd love to get to know some fellow bandsters from QLD.

Cheers

Lisa

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
