Blues and Roots was terrific. Eskimo Joe played a few songs accoustically and with a six piece string accompanying them - they rocked! Jools Holland and his rhythm and blues band was sensational! Watched a few songs from John Fogerty but he seemed lost on stage and changing guitars about 4 times before a song and so we lost interest and left.
Optifast schmoptifast. My eye is on Wednesday now and it's becomming even harder to stick to optifast.
Getting nervous and scared now. Today I went out and bought peppermint tea, soluable panadol, berocca but couldn't get the chewable degas tablets. Decided to buy some nice new white cotton undies in the hopes that they wont make me wear those awful paper undies to surgery! Fingers crossed hey! Also started stressing about what we are allowed to eat for the first 2 weeks. The nurse told us only clear fluids but then i've read sites (and lapband books) that say basically anything that will go through a straw is ok like flavoured milk and soups etc. So confused a bit on that one.
2 sleeps to go!

Day 8 Optifast
Hey ho,
So I've taken advice of my readers and stayed off the scales this morning! The boy has hidden the lollies so haven't had any for 2 days. I haven't had chocolate in over a week (a miracle!). I've been drinking at least 2 litres of water per day and sticking to 3 optifast products per day (shakes & bar). I haven't been having the 2 cups of vegies as I'm not a fan!
I think it's ironic that Doc Watson told us it was up to us if we even wanted to do Optifast as our BMI's weren't as high but I wanted to give it my best shot so I'm doing 3 meals and GB is doing 2 optifast meals per day. And here I am struggling and the boy is losing kilo after kilo! Damn!
Oh well - enough whinging from me - I'm sure it's doing the desired job on my liver!
We've got our pre-admission appointment tomorrow afternoon. GB called the doctor's rooms the other day to make sure they've got all the documentation and paid for it all so we're all good to go! Apparently I'm going in at 12 and GB in at 1pm. So we have to fast from 5 and 6am respectively. Which I guess that mean's I'll have to get up at 4am to have something to eat so I don't STARVE TO DEATH!!!
This time next week, it'll be all over and we should be home!
That's it, have a good one!
