First topic message reminder :

jodis op day 6th oct

Dr on leave now till end of november so wont be till december jan now i think

They had a bed for me by lunch time but there was a man put ahead of me who had to have a big surgery and when the surgeon rang from theatre at 3pm he said he would have at least another 4 hours ahead of him to finish the surgery so the man must have been quite sick so thats understandable x Jodi

Oh Jodi, that is just horrible. I had nightmares about this myself but I was lucky.

Kama must have a reason!

Oh, Jodi - I'm so sorry. Your worst fear, and it came true. I can only imagine how you feel, but expect it's something like this :[img]http://ww
and that you'd like to do this with them :http://smileys
I'll keep my fingers crossed from now until the next time that it will all be good for you then.

That stinks! I am so sorry to hear it Jodi! What an anti-climax for you, and getting all mentally prepared and then getting told to come back in a month! Sorry darling!

oh jodes so sorry you have to wait BUT do remember november is a very good month, I can vouch for that hehehe. I was due in at 8am it took them until after lunch to find me a bed. The male of the species was again at least lunch time until they could find him a bed as well.

Good luck Jodi!........... I am sure everything will be fine!!

-Hayley!

wish me luck guys for no dreaded last minute cancellation lol hopefully on the other side ill be x jodi

I blend my optiyuk with a couple of iceblock to make it super cold and it froths up a bit - goes down better

I found that the shakes tasted better blended using really cold water.

Hey, Jody
Opti isn't the nicest thing in the world, but it helps if you add other flavours - try whizzing up a couple of strawberries in your vanilla shake - makes it much easier! There are some other tips in the opti thread too, I think.
I just kept on telling myself that I'd never have to do it again, and surely I could manage just a few more days!
Best of luck.
Chris

Wil keep my fingers crossed for you Jodi - hope it all goes through as planned.

Hang in there!

DR

i would love to try strawberry but its so much more expensive

Jodi, The strawberry optifast is quite nice. I hated the chocolate, but I still drank it.

Yes it feels like ive waited an eternity but im sure that for anyone else who is still waiting or has waited it does feels like a frustrating lifetime.
My dr is Dr Epari at fremantle hospital im due in at 6.30am on monday 6th with a big chance my op will be cancelled due to the usual bed shortages, time etc etc so heres hoping ill get lucky. As for optifast ill be honest I flailed monday, tuesday, wed so am attempting to get hard core from today I have the chocolate flavour which im used to now but just tried vanilla and was flat out keeping it down, must be why ive heard it refered to as Optivomit lol x Jodi

Hey jodi, I bet you are excited bout ya op..You have waited a long time. What doc do yoy have? How are you going on optifast?
