| Hi All May Bandits, I went and saw my surgeon yesterday and I am all booked in and ready to go for the 18th. I am really nervous. I know this is the right thing to do, it is just that I am scared. Is anyone else feeling nervous? Thanks, Katie |

| Hello all. Well I'm all tucked into bed ready for tomorrow but i'm really not that sure I'm actually going to sleep that much. Thank you to all the well wishers, it really does help! :) And Jan - I think my op will be in the afternoon too! I have to fast from 7am and a friend tells me you have to fast for 8 hours which would make it around 3-4pm. Oh, why couldn't I be first thing in the morning?haha Best of luck to you! |

| Hi everyone, Ive been thinking about you Jenny, Carolyn and Ange and praying all will go well for you today. I hope you are recovering well. I cant believe how quickly time goes by. All the best to Jan and Fiona for tomorrow. You will be fine I'm sure!! I have continued to go well. Every now and then I have been getting an aching back and find that if I take my bra off, it gets better. Cant get away with that everywhere!! I am still losing, though not quite as much. I am drinking a bit more now and that is helping me feel fuller. I think my soups are getting slightly thicker, but I'm not really sure. Had some mashed potato and gravy watered down for tea and it was yum!! Very nice treat. I am trying to have the same as the family, but just water it down and whizz it. I am very happy doing this as the flavours are usually really good. The velish soups are also really nice. I am back at work tomorrow. It should be fine as it will be pretty easy going. Keep up the good work everyone. some people noticed I had lost a bit of weight today - that was nice!! love Trace |

| i'l be banded on 18th May Circle of Care Baulkham Hills....feling pretty nervous.. So many mixed responses. Some so inspirational, others so real and easily related to re emotions...Good luck May Bandits, and all the other bandits out there!!!!! |

| Good luck Crystal and Fiona, hope everything goes well for you on your op day. I am thinking of a few ways to pass that anxious waiting time in hospital.... 1. listening to music on an ipod 2. read a book, magazine, newspaper. 3. meditate with a mantra...slimmer and healthier 4. slow deep breathing, important post-operatively too 5. ankle and calf exercises, prevent DVT's, 6. massage hands with cream. 7. write a poem 8. gentle neck stretching. 9.send a few text messages to friends. 10. sleep How much time could these fill in do you reckon?

| Thanks for everyone's well wishes for tomorrow. I've stayed busy today and tried not to think about the surgery and haven't got too nervous. But now I'm sitting for the night my tummy butterflies are growing into eagles. It's surreal to think that this time tomorrow night the surgery will be done and I will be on my way to a new and healthier life. Good luck Fiona ... I know we will both be fine and back here in a couple of days recovering wonderfully. It's been such a long wait and finally the time is here .... can't wait for tomorrow though I expect I will be waiting around lots tomorrow .... my surgery isn't until the afternoon and I will be up bright and early in the morning with nothing to do but pace the floors and wait!!! Talk to you all on the flip side :) |

| Hello May09 Bandits, How is everyone going? I worked today and we had a few ongoing education sessions with slices and chocolate cake for morning tea. BUGGER! Not allowed on optifast. I am doing OK but also counting 4 sleeps Nonny.My home scales show a loss but are different to the hospital scale so I won't publish until I see what I am there. I reckon I'm down at least three kgs.Feels different in my work pants already. Can't figure out why I have pain in my gall bladder region since being on opti.(had it out 9 yrs ago). How did you go back at work Marg? Well done MK Queen on 3 weeks of opti, no mean feat.Whats your fave combination of vegies? Mine is spinach, tomato, onion and mushroom, YUM. Roll on Friday. Cath |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Best Wishes and good luck to all the May bandits, hope it all goes to plan for you, I just miss out on May, Im June 2nd - 3 weeks of opti down, 3 weeks to go. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I hope everyone had a fantastic mothers day. We had a fairly good day. Took Mum out to lunch and I cheated (oops) No details cause I'll just make you want some. (Don't you hate when you are doing well until someone mentions food and you immediately want some) I can't believe there's only 4 sleeps until I walk through those hospital doors. Butterflies! Nonny |

| Stick with the Opti girls it's all worthwhile. Blending with ice helps. But if you still don't like it just try repeating "food is for fuel not fun" It's all about the end results. Nonny |
