Hi all

Just thought i would let ya know where I'm at so far - my surgery is in 2 weeks today and I'm pretty excited about it, I just don't know where the real Jason went as i have never felt this good about losing weight. As i didn't have to start the pre-op diet till today but i thought I would start on Monday so I went to buy optifast on the weekend and it was $47 for 1 box and next to it was optislim made by the same company and VLCD and it was $50 for 2 boxes so i thought it would still be ok and bought that. I am into day three now and so far so good, day 1 on Monday was not too bad just had a big headache and i was'nt really hungry, I had a shake for breakfast and lunch and then chicken stir fry for dinner with no carbs at all, day 2 was easy and had the same although for dinner I just had chicken with two eggs and no carbs, today was ok although i just felt so bloated and found it hard to drink water and could'nt even drink my shake for lunch and just had chicken and egg again for dinner and could hardly eat it all. Its strange as I have never felt like this I mean I know its only the 3rd day but it just seems to be easy, they had a sausage sizzle at work today and I never even bothered with it where usually I would be the first one there. I know i have a long way to go but i am trying to keep focussed and not even think about food which for some reason I don't even want to eat, strange i mean if you knew me you would not be able to believe that, i think something in my head has finally ticked over and started to work. The first thing i will be looking for is to walk into a shop and just buy a normal size shirt without going to a big men's store. I weighed myself today just to see how i am going and have lost 2.2kgs so im happy. Anyway thanks so much for all the support i never thought i would visit a forum. Its really been very helpful and cant wait to show you the new me when i lose some :-)

Cheers
Jason

good luck Jason, Im being banded next Wednesday, I must say Optifast soups suck, but it must be done.

You are doing great, Jason. Congrats on the loss so far.
I never thought I would join a forum either but it is really nice to come on here and see other people goign through the same things and giving each other encouragement. I am lucky enough to have the support of most of my family, friends and co-workers but appart from a couple who have had surgery too, they don't quite understan what I am doing. Its nice to be able to come on here and talk to people that don't need the ins and outs of the band explained to them.
Keep up the great job and you will be sharing those 'after' photos with us in no time

Good onya mate, I told you it would be easier after day 3. I'm not hungry at all but as soon as the KFC ads come on telly migh stomach starts going crazy,
also when watching MKR etc. Just remember to keep drinking as much water/diet drinks as you can and the weight will fall off.

Keep up the good work
