| Hi Ally - Try not to focus on the scales - what is your head telling you - have you more energy, do you feel a bit better - If you have stuck to it for 11 days you have done fantastically. Sounds like those scales of yours need to be retired - Linda told me last week to ditch mine - and she is right. I didn't have to do opti - for which I was very grateful. So much of overeating is about the head stuff - the scales only make it worse - so if they are getting to you - then stay off them. Not sure what help you may get from the dietican - I found her understanding of the issues around weight problems to be negligble - and her telling me that I had to give up chocolate for life to the worst possible thing she could have said. A dear friend of mine who is looking at banding saw her last week and ended up in tears and totally devestated by her attitude. I was banded on 8/8/08 and all is going well for me ....so far! Take care S |

| If your scales are all over the place just stick to weighing in his office. Don't forget you are doing opti to make the operation safer for you. The liver has to be moved out of the way so the smaller it is the better. Linda |

| Thanks Linda I am on day 11 with this and have surprised myself about actually sticking to it BUT my scales jump all over the place (as i had reached just over the max) and just cant seem to be able to tell in my clothes and how i feel that it has done any good. I am now sitting here thinking well if i am not losing weight with it then whats the point in continuing! I mean i know the main point is to have a cleaner leaner liver and for that thought alone i will stick to it but too not feel or show a loss after 11 days - well its getting really really hard to stay positive. normally on a saturday night i would be having a home made pepperoni pizza and am really struggling to stop the thoughts of how nice that would be. I am going to go and check my weight on Deutschers scales on tuesday (2 wks opti) and if no change then see the dietician! its really stressing me out! Allison |

| hello everyone its funny how things work out - i start my holidays on the 15th and would have been able to make a day meet lol i dont think i will attend the night one as its the night before my surgery - i am not sure yet what time i will not be able to eat after - plus i am not sure if i should have a normal meal after being on optifast for so long. today is day 9 and i so far i havent been even tempted to cheat - dont get me wrong i have sat there at night thinking how nice it would be to have peppered steak and chips! i am really really missing meat! but i have not cheated once and have no intention too - i am counting down the days though until after the surgery when i can have a glass of milk! allison |

| Hi everyone I've been watching some of that cruddy daytime TV in the mornings lately and saw an ad for the Mountain Bread Cookbook and decided to buy one online ... I searched for it tonight and it can be freely downloaded here: http://www.mountainbread.com.au/UserFiles/PDF/Moun tainBreadCookbook.pdf Could definitely be worth a look as I really enjoy Mountain Bread these days having given up bread, but you get over plain old wraps sometimes. Kristy =) |
