OMG i cant believe i tortured myself with the choc and vanilla when i could have had the strawberry its sooooo yummy and now each meal isnt a gag fest lol although my fiance found watching me try to drink the choc and vanilla highly amusing at the dinner table x
Yayyy only ten more sleeps to go......

its really is worth the expense jodi.....the strawberry is by far the nicest.....I found it very very sweet the first couple of times but it turned out to be my fav by far.

Nicole

id really like to give the strawberry a go but they are so expensive but its only a couple weeks so ill treat myself to some. the vanilla just dosnt sit well in my tummy. x jodi

Good Luck Jodi,

Don't forget you can add some essences like mint or strawberry to the Choc or Vanilla shakes to help with variety and cheaper than the strawberry opti.

Peter.

Keeping count here Jodes :)

good luck jodi.

like tickled pink, my fav was also the strawberry. I liked the choc one at the start and i put up with the vanilla(to get rid of it) but made a vanilla a week after surgery and had to tip it down the sink, i think i would have spewed if i had of had it..lol

Nicole

Good luck!!

I am being operated on the same day as you, and I have just started opti today also. I found the chocolate one ok, but the strawberry is definitely my favourite.

My journey has once again started for the second time, Today is day one of Opti.

People have flown at a week out, so a few weeks should not be an issue unless you are very unlucky. By that stage you should be fairly safe from clots.

To be on the safe side, use maddocker's suggestion of wearing your Teds as it's a few hours to Sydney. Also try to get up and walk at least a couple of times during the flight.

Peter.

Jodie I think you will have no dramas flying that soon. I was pretty well normal by then. Just maybe wear ya Teds . (stockings)

thankyou mad and apple I have to fly to sydney for my partners wedding first week feb do ya think If im lucky enough this time and have my sleeve done that Ill be well enough to go.

Well done Jodie, Will be thinking of ya while I am in Bali.... You will be fine . I love my sleeve more than my kids. (jokes)

Oh Jodi

This is really bad news, I thought about you and Jules the whole time, because we were on the same day. :[img]http://ww

my valium had started to ware off by the time they got me to theatre hehehehe I had been laughing and singing but after more than 5 hours they did not have the same effect it was tears and fears heheheh wimp girl wimp girl. It will get done Jodes you are soooooooooooooo close now, and they are so good in there you will breeze though :)

applesauce

Yeah!!!

I was almost there I recon they could have at least given me my pre-meds at least then when the nurse gave me the bad news I would have felt good.

When I had my follow-up appointment to see the doc to find out about the tests I'd had, I was bumped for an urgent op. I was lucky that I'd arranged a phone appointment, or it would have been a 5 hour return trip for nothing. But he went on holidays the following day, too, and I had to wait until after he came back as well. It was a very big pain in the bum, and that was just for an appointment - but it meant that I couldn't schedule the surgery, either - and then he was going away again, so I had to wait ages. But at least I didn't get as far as the hospital and get bumped!
