Hi From Australia

Hi Everyone,

I had my operation on the 26 September so have had my operation for 9 weeks now.

and what a difference 9 weeks makes.

I am so happy that I had it done.

So far I haven't had any problems and have had 2 fills and when I go back to the doctor on the 20 December I'm thinking I will be getting another 1 ml fill.

With the Optifast and post op I am down 18 kilos and you really can't be unhappy about that.

My doctor said that I could expect to lose 1 kilo per week and I am pretty much on target.

Hopefully this is my way of life from now on.

Regards

Rhonda:)

Hi Rhonda, I'm from Sydney... welcome to the site. Sounds like you've been doing really well so far. I have been banded for just over 4 weeks and have lost 10.6kgs since the operation, so I'm definitely on track. Enjoy your time here, lots of good advice and great people (yes, me included!! :bounce:).

Gosh Sades,

you are doing so well..

:clap2::clap2::clap2:

It is a really liberating experience isn't it.

[Sades 4]

It sure is, the best thing i've done in a long while. I'm happy with my results. I think it should slow down soon but I haven't really started on a full exercise regime yet. Only had a couple of walks and one night of dancing so far.

Wow,

How did you go on opti-fast.

I couldn't drink the shakes I had the bars.

I was the opposite - loathed the bars prefered the shakes but I only used the vanilla and use to mix diet fanta or diet cordials with it. Actually I really liked it with fanta - kind of tasted like the cake mix for an orange cake. Looking forward to some variety though - so Soups etc are sounding really great after 4 weeks on Optisludge.

Will be back here on the BB for some inspiration on Tuesday.

That is the really curious thing. I got this inspiration from out of no-where immediately I had the surgery.... so you I'm sure will be so inspired to go forth and lose weight it is amazing..

I'm excited for you

Hi Sades, who did your surgery? I'm currently looking for a surgeon in South West Sydney. Prepared to travel to find my knight in shining armour.
