I'm starting my Optifast tomorrow and my surgery is the 11th August. I live in Bundaberg but am getting it done by Dr Layani on the Gold Coast QLD. Feeling as though I'm about to face a challenge.................an exciting challenge............one I can actually win for a change!!!:D All the best August girls ;) . By the way, how do you put up the weightloss timeline thingy? I'm a bit vague when it comes to stuff like that.

Well, I've been on kicstart for 9 days now and although i hated it initially, I actually don't mind them now. I wouldn't say I like them, but they taste alright now.

Also, I went and weighed in with the dietician today and when he saw the 6kg weight loss, he actually jumped up and down and cheered. So I'm feeling pretty good now, which is great cos I was starting to think i wasn't doing good enough (just like normal!!). So I'll keep going and see how much more I can loose before the op.
