Any Canadians Out There?



Recommended Posts

In Windsor, Ontario here. In hardcore research mode before Orientation July 10th 2014 (not necessary since I know I am going through with it), I have been through the booklets, information folders, people's personal feelings pre and post-op, and even watched a surgery on a surgeons website (kind of gross). However, I am finding it hard to come up with more information on the psychological effects, the physical effects, and the general feelings. I pride myself on going in knowing the answers to most of my fears, and worries, but am finding it difficult to find all of the answers.

I know the Canadian threads can be like yelling into a void but I'm so excited I have to yell!

I have an appointment with my surgeon at Toronto Western on August 7th! It's finally happening!

Has anyone else had their surgery with Dr. Penner?

      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.
