Hey All,
Sorry i have been so slack we havent had access to internet, so while i have some brief update!!!
I am GREAT!! i can eat quite a bit, ive tried chicken, and veggies, and pasta, and yeh its all going really really well! i just make sure i mush it right up in my mouth and you know, its going down a treat!! :) woooo
I dont think xmas is going to be a hassle at all as i can eat so much, well not LOTS but at least a variety!!!
Im feeling like i havent lost any more weight though, so thinking of starting walking, just lightly, coz im not meant to for a few more weeks but i feel fine honestly! :)
Anyway, i hope everyone is doing well and having a great xmas!!! And party hard in the new year, im having a very very quiet one!
Love to all!

Done Deed! hah
Hey!
Well im on the dark side! Im now officially 3 days into banded life! WOW!!!!
Im still pretty sore so dont want to be sitting here typing for long- sorry fans! haha
But surgery went really really well, the doc said textbook surgery, i'd obviously followed opti to a tee and seen some great results and thats why im feeling so good! So that was awesome to hear!
I didnt have any gas issues, im burping really well, and no pains in the shoulders! I even managed to cook my parents dinner last night, and not be tempted!
So im on liquids for a couple of weeks, so just taking it all slowly and yeh as i said i actually feel pretty good, but a question for other bandsters....do u feel liquids sometimes like gurgling in ur belly? i feel like its bubbling through? and thats why i can burp? is that normal? haha
Other than that, all has gone well, been very mobile, and just getting a bit sore today as far as feeling tight around the wounds, but all good i think! :) sorry i keep saying it i think im just shocked at how well i feel! My brother who was done a year ago is really shocked as well!
Thanks to my new friends for the support and gorgeous messages!!!! And of course to my old friends!!! your always amazing! :)
But yeh, ill keep u posted! :)

Totally Smashing It
Hey!
Well i am just slightly excited, now not even nervous for what is coming in 11 days- thats right 11!!!!
So i got a phone call this morning from the pre admission nurse just going through all the details making sure we were all set for the 8th at 10am admission and midday surgery i was like hell yes we'r right! And also today i had to pay, so thats all done now so im all ready to go really!!
I have totally lost weight, not sure how much coz we dont have scales but i know i have lost a fair bit coz i couldnt even get a pair of jeans on 3 weeks ago and now not even a struggle!!! crazy!
Dad said he wants to tell the doc to give me a placebo because i have only kinda cheated 3 times... i had a pikelet, a quarter of a sausage and a little meatball last night.......... other than that i havent cheated once! :) woo
i made the best dinner last night actually...and i HAVE to share it with you!! Ok so im only allowed 2 cups of veggies and limited sauce etc...so out of what i could have i made:
Broccoli, Cauli and Cabbage again boiled in chicken stock and then out of the rest of the 2 cups i made Mushroom, Onion, and Cherry Tomatoes cooked in the pan and then i got a bit of tomato paste, a bit of curry, mixed with water and poured over the mushroom mix...and then put all that on top of my veggies and omg it was sooo delish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i loved it!!!
To a not so pretty/yummy topic...did anyone suffer real bad breath on this diet? Im finding its horrid, i cant keep up to it! My bro said thats coz im losing so much weight... but did anyone else find this? sorry its gross i know! haha
So yeh im totally excited aobut it all now and just cant wait to have it all started! the week after i get surgery im goin to dye and cut my hair, not sure how, but i want it different, coz its kinda a new me so i want something to symbolise that i guess! :)
So anyway, thats enough from me today!!! the next time we talk hopefully i have single digits left til op! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Talk soon

Thanks for all your support so far

2 weeks today!!!!!!!
hey well if u cant tell just by the title of this blog im getting really really excited! its only 14 days til surgery, this time in 14 days i will be out of surgery! its just crazy to think!
Im kinda nervous and excited all at the same time so i need to calm myself down, im really bad with nerves/excitement!!!! When i was a little girl i used to be physically sick on christmas eve because i worked myself up that much with excitement, and to this day, i STILL suffer!!! ahahah not so much about Santa coming though! :)
The weekend went REALLY well with Opti, iv tried a new strategy- i was a bit over the soups but the shakes goin well so i had shake for breaky and lunch and then dinner i had just less than 2 cups of veggies, mostly cabbag and broccoli in chicken stock and then i had frozen a shake so i could have it for dessert type thing- and to my surprise it worked a treat! woooo so excited! haha so im doin the same tonight! :)
I forgot to freeze it this mornin so i hope it freezes in time this arvo! :0)
I have some very ignorant friends, as usual! So i have been dealing with them over the past few days, but still getting through it!
How good am i this week, ive managed to do all my xmas shopping except for my best mate, i really dont know what to get her! we are like sisters so its really important what i get her! I just bought her Pink Tickets for her bday a month ago, so now im stumped! hahaha Im sure ill think of something really cool
The weather here has been amazing! i was in the pool all day yesterday, working on my tan mostly!! oh and i bought a cute dress, not sure if i put it in my last post but its just like a strapless summery dress for after surgery! :) yay!!! its soo pretty so i was wearing that all weekend coz its soo nice and cool!
Work has been real quiet which is good as i have SOOO much uni to do at the moment, it really creeps up on me hey! but i guess thats what its there for! YUK
Anyway, iv babbbled or really blogged enough today!
Will write again soon
xoxo

Signed, Sealed, nearlly delivered
Wow i am now super excited! Had my final appointment before surgery yesterday, which went really well, i only lost 2kg, but the doc said that because i hadnt been having soup for lunch and just skippin that meal all together it would have delayed it, so alll good, im back into it today!
Other than that he was really impressed my blood tests came back good and so did my ultrasound, said my liver isnt really fatty at all so he was relaly pleased with those! :) high five!
hmm what else? I forgot to take my soup down with me, so i just grabbed an apple for the trip home...
So my friend drama's have kinda sorted themselves out, although i know i need to just cut myself loose of them everyone i tell has said you dont need them in your life rah rah rah and they are so true, it just seems alot harder to actually do!
Ohhh how could i forget to share the most exciting part....all booked for surgery, i have my admission sheet an all!!! December 8th 2008 at high noon! :) wooooo i cant wait! :)
So all the paperwork is done, i just have to optifast away until the 8th now! 18 days away! wow thats not long at all!!!!!
Other than that, nothing exciting happening in my life at all...this guy keeps screwing with my head, but he is leaving to the other side of Australia tomorrow, so i dont need to see him again!!! its kinda a DAMMIT moment but kinda a THANK FUCK for that!!!
Anyway, better go before this storm creeps any closer!

Take the Seven Deadly Sins Quiz
Well sorry for the delay in my next post, i have been strangely really busy!
Im trying to set up all my uni work so i have one specific place i can just sit and do that because i get distracted so easily!
Well Tomorrow i have appointment with the doc to go over all the tests and to confirm everything for surgery on the 8th! So excited about that and to see if i have lost any weight on Opti. I assume i have, like i can feel it but i would hate to jinx it right!
Thanks for all your feedback on the list...its something i felt i needed to do, and as honest and shameful as some of them are, hey, at least i can finally admit it and im only on a better path now!
Oh so on the weekend i had sizzlers....but would u believe i just ate the salad bar, no desert bar, no bread...no pasta...just hte salad bar!!! i was soo proud of myself! haha sizzlers is the ultimate pig out!!!
So its less that 3 weeks now til surgery, starting to get really nervous about it to be honest, but i know its what i want and need, i just want it now, i hate waiting! But ive read heaps, and like ive brought a pretty dress for after surgery so its loose and summery...and also some face wipes, so after surgery i can just feel fresher and also a nice lip balm! Oh and i put together an awesome playlist for my ipod so i can listen to that in recovery!!! (thanks for everyone who gave me ideas)
Do you know, i have some amazing friends, and some not so amazing. This week has been such an eye opener of the amazing ones! I had a friend really kick me while i was down this week! I wont go into detail but basically really upset me by soemthing she has said about me that is not true, and one of my most amazing friends sent me a text telling me not to be down, as i dont need people like that in my amazing life...and it actually made me cry...it is really amazing to have friends that u can share the world with....
So really, life as i know will be changing, and im sooo excited, i cant express how excited i am! obviously fellow bandsters know!!!
I dont have much else to tell today!
Blog again soon!

So Really i have been on Opti for too long now! HA! no its ok, im finding im doing just fine now, although the last few days have been horrid as Aunty Flow decided to arrive, so im already cramping enough and tired enough without that, so fingers crossed its gone soon!
I have been really good though, drinking heaps of water and eating veggies at night. The soup for lunch is actually Ok as well, im really shocking myself how dedicated to this i am being, and all things considered i still have 24 days til surgery, wow only 24, thats the first time ive counted days! bit scary!
I have my appointment with the Doc again next week to go over my blood tests and ultrasound, i hope it is all ok, but of course ill be stressing about that, and shockingingly i cant WAIT to get on the scales to prove to him how much i want this!
So telling my friends has actually been really good, they are so supportive so thats really good, obviously im still telling the ones that i want to know. They have been amazing, like they ask alot of questions obviously but thats great, it means they are at least interested and saying oh ill come look after you etc! so thats been really good
What else? mmmm work has been really busy and im still studying at uni...and its the start of a new semester so busy trying to understand all the topics...yay NOT

Optifast Day
Well today ive been really strong and im starting to think not about normal food....Optifast is not my favorite thing in the world but i have to do it....normal food is what got me into this mess in the first place right!!
Im finding it hard to be social at the moment, usually every weekend is packed out with something exciting on, but knowing i have my surgery coming up, and being on optifast, there is no point between now and New years organising to do anything, so that is actually a bit depressing to be honest.....i need other ways to keep me busy
Most my friends know about the surgery but obviously they still want to socialise...and its always been tradition since the year we all turned 18 to go to the pub as often as poss while we were all back in the same time, and this year, ill be boring, ill probably still go, but it wont be fun as i will have only really been 3 weeks out of surgery!!!!!!
Work today is very boring....although i have my uni subjects starting so im doing some reading for that- how ever so boring!!!
Anyway, ill try my hardest to keep blogging! haha
oxoxoxox
