| Creature, Add extra vitamins, especially vitamin C. Go to your GP and see if there is anything they can give you a boost of to help fight it. Pyretta |

| I have 8 days to go until op day, and i have got up this morning with the flu!!! Panic Stations- has anyone been in this situation before- i really cant comprehend more weeks of opti if the surgery is canceled! I am on my fourth week now! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Malecro1 I am a coffee fiend. Love it. I've been on Opti for 3 weeks & have lost 11 kg. I completely cut coffee from my diet (had the headache from hell for about 24 hours), but started using the opti coffee shakes. Not having a real coffee made my tastebuds believe that Opti coffee is a delicious coffee treat! Can't hurt to try it! Kate |

| Thanks pyretta_blayze_au i was stressing out big time now i feel much better im back on the wagon lol | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| amewy, which ever weight loss surgery you have is personal choice and both have their positives and negatives. YOU have to be the one to decide which WLS suits you and your situation the best. It would be nice to have the support of your family but it is YOU that needs to be sure you are making the right decision. Pyretta |

| Hi, I am booked into Dr Harrison on the 6th July, I am supposed to have a gastric sleeve, but my family are giving me such grief about the things that can go wrong, after watching stories on TV I am now considering the band as another alternative, thats why I am looking on this site. I was having the sleeve as I live 3 hrs from Wagga and there is not so much follow up as the band as there are no fills or anything like that |

| Soon, I'm sure two strict weeks of Opti will be fine. That's what most people are asked to do anyway. Try not to fret over it too much. Pyretta |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I did stuff up a bit had a few dinners in my first week do you think two weeks of strict opti will be enough? I was alowed to have dinners in the first week but i sort of went out to resteraunt for my bday and a memorial thing | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Malecro1 Im not having surgery in Wagga but I do come from Griffith. I've opted to have surgery in Melbourne |

| Vanschick, Some people are allowed 6 berries but I have never heard of anyone being allowed apples or banana's. Check with your surgeons or dietitian. Otherwise check out the flyer that comes in the Optifast box or the Optifast website. I'm sure they will give you ideas as well. Pyretta |

| banana would have sugars and starch so thats 2 no nos | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| vanschick90 Ask your dietcn i know some wil let you have a piece of fruit but i dont think you can have banana | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Wow, it seems like there are quite a few of us from Adelaide having weight loss surgery soon:) Hi Lia, I know can you believe it is less than two weeks now!?!!? I am doing ok on the Opti - hungry and headachy but ok. I am so glad Dr France lets us have an evening meal, I would go barmy without it; though I think I am going a little barmy focussing on that one meal all day as well::) |

| Hi I am having my op on 22 July. My doctor uses Kicstart which I assume is the same as Optifast. I have Breakfast 5/7 kick start. 2/7 1 egg 1 rye bread. Mid morning 7-8 brazil nuts. Lunch 5/7 kick start. 2/7 salad very lean meat on mountain bread. Afternoon: apple. PM 7/7 fish, chicken or red meat no mince, chops or sausages, 1-2 cups veg. Also white tea (not with milk but it is tea that is acutally called white tea) throughout the day. So I suppose they all have different diets. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| hey guys, im from adelaide and have my surgery date for august 12/06. im starting the optifast stage correctly as of tomorrow. i have been doing it for about a week just in the morning and feel that im still a bit hungry after. is it okay to have a banana or another peice of fruit. i just want to make sure that i am doing this stage correctly to get the best results. |

| Anyone having their operation in Wagga? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| My dietitian provided me with her guide to lap banding and in it it had the list of allowable foods to have whilst on opti. Coffee wasn't on the list, but it was in a "suggested menu". Having previously been a 3-4 cups of day, I have cut right back to 1, and have switched to skim milk from my previous full cream version. Feeling a little guilty, but that has been my only "straying" from the food list. I probably should be trying to get off it, eh? Mandy |
