| Hi everybody, well week one is over and I lost 4.5kg which I am happy about. i only cheated once a couple of days ago and I had tuna and tomato on toast. I was starving and couln't face cooking vegies again. I am going to be better this week and cook some vegies ahead of time for when I am too tired. I will also start doing some exercise this week. I also lost quite a few centimetres this week and my clothes feel more comfortable. The big test will be next weekend when I am going to the Hunter Valley for the weekend and have to find healthy options!! Have a great day people...Lesley | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Night, night gem! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Night NIght, im beat!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I havnt got an appointment yet, i have to make it tomorrow actually, i only had my final surgeon consult on Thursday. MMMMMM macadamias, ive eaten em all now, so i'll be fine tomorrow!! lol | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| oh god, now I'm fantasizing about macadamia's,mmmmmmmmmm Fiona |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yeah, that's right gem! You are going so well doing it on your own. When do you see the dietician? Fiona |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Yeah i didnt think the nuts would be allowed, I havnt seen the dietician yet so im kinda winging it until then, but at the end of the day we all know deep down what we should and shouldnt eat!! Its just the head hunger, i know i dont need anything but it sure beats downing a pack of cream biscuits or a block of chocolate surely!!! lol | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Not sure about the nuts gem, I know I'm not allowed them. They are pretty high in fats, although good fats, I guess not good when on opti!lol. A little milk in your cuppa should be okay I think. Well done on being good tonight! Fiona |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| OOps, we must have posted at the same time, i was answering your previous post!! lol Im going ok, i slipped up Friday and Saturday night but not tonite. Ive been nibbling on nuts. And ive had two cups of tea with milk in. Is that very bad do you think? |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I hear ya Fee, Im not banded till 15th April and have only been on Opti since Friday, its going to be a long 44 days!!! Not to mention the week after the surgery!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gem, I was wondering how you were going. My dietician suggested I started the first week having some protein with my vege's to get used to it all. I must say that it made it a little easier to stick to just opti and veg this week, although it has taken 2 weeks to get over the hunger! Better than loading up on carbs though which will stop you going into ketosis. Fiona |

| Hi, Seems everyone is hungry today!!! Just hang in there, I have finally stopped being starving after 2 weeks on opticack. I didn't believe it would happen but it has. My problem is I am having craving's at the moment. I know it's not because I'm hungry, just thinking of all the thing's I miss! I'm so over vege's to and Iv'e got another 4 weeks to go,GGGRrrrrrr.

| I dont know about anyone else BUT here is what I think I work full time & im a fairly newish single mum of two wonderful children (thankfully) so life is pretty hectic for us but I honestly think I get much more hungrier on the weekend cos at work I dont find it bothers me all that much. I usually have a shake for breaky bar for lunch & then another shake for tea. But 2night im also starving (like every1) so I have just zapped some of thoses steam fresh veggiesReally yummy. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I am blaming it on the weather. It's cold here today. I was feeding the chooks this afternoon and the laying pellets were looking good!!! I just had dinner, vanilla optifast which I really like and some stir fry veggies, feeling much better now. Nat. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Me tooooooo! And im only on day 3!!!!! And ive cheated twice!!! Not banded till April 15th, so have time, but man its sooo frustrating!!! i do like the shakes though, so thats a plus!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Nat, I know what you mean about being starving! I have been on Optifast for two weeks now and I swear I could eat a cow today for some reason. I have had my shakes and over 3 litres of water, have salad for lunch but i am just sooooo hungry! |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| The nurse told me that out of their last two thousand surgeries at John Flynn Hospital, they have had 12 band slips. And she said it can be easily fixed. Don't freak out about it, its all good! When you weigh up the negetives and the positive, the positives weigh out the negetives by far!!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Nat I wouldnt worry too much about what other ppl say well from my point of view anyway I have made this decision as an educated & well researched. As im sure most of us have just go with what is rite for u if you are concerned or have doubts then maybe you could post pone your op. But going on what my surgeon has told me if you do the rite things then you really shouldnt even be vomiting & then the band wouldnt slip. Easier said than done I know But im just going with it & will try to do all the right things for ME! I hope I have helped you & not confused you. K |

| Fee! two days before I started my optifast, I was craving a Steak Sandwich too! So, we went out for dinner the night before optifast started, and it was the worst steak I had ever eaten. I am considering having a steak befroe banding on friday too, as it doesn't sound like it will be as enjoyable in the months to come, when you have to chew it to death until there is no flavour left lol.

| Hey Nat, When are you having your surgery done. We are around the same weight and im only the optifast now too. I am 171cm, with a 119kg weight. BMI 40. I have gained 20kgs since the birth of my 14mth old bubba. My surgery is on Friday (5 days). I have only been on the optifast for 4 and a half days as the clinic moved my surgery forward a week. I have cheated a few times, but will healthy stuff. I have had prawns instead of a shake a couple of times with my dinner veges, and I replaced a shake and veges meal for a lavash bread with allowed salads and 100g lean chicken. I have exercised ALOT in the last week, and only lost 2.5kgs, so if you have lost six with minimal exercise, that is AWESOME!!! Good luck with everything. Talk soon. Nett (27) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi nat, Well done on you loss! You must feel great.5.5kg for me now. Slowly but shurely coming off. I am trying to focus on the fact that every gram I lose is a gram that's gone forever! Not how quickly it goes. I finally feel I'm over the starvation now to which is making it a little easier. Although I am having severe craving's for a steak sandwich. I think I will have to have it one last time before banding, because if I can't eat it after I will forever regret it!! FIona |
