Lap Band Support Group Montreal



Recommended Posts

Hi Folks,

My name is Jay and I was banded November 18th 2011 by Dr. Steven Miller in Montreal. One of the things I feel is lacking in Montreal is a support group for fellow bandsters. I would like to start one. My thoughts are we could start with a monthly group and if it is successful move to bi-weekly.

If you are interested please email me at jayrobertson76@hotmail.com or reply to this post with your cotact email

I would be happy to host the first support meeting in my home and will reach out to see if I can get a guest speaker(ie. nutritionist, successful bandster etc..)

Thanks for reading

Jay

Hello Jay,

I was banded at l'Hotel Dieu de Montreal on June 15th 2011 and I also feel that there aren't enough support groups. I think you have a great idea and keep me in touch. I'm not from Montreal but would like to go to a meeting if possible.

Godd luck on you journey and keep me posted

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
