Hi tristantanople, my surgery date is January 21st. Which surgeon/hospital are you having your surgery at?

Hi CanadianGirl74 that is great news maybe we can be buddies. My surgeon is Dr. Jackson @ Toronto Western. I was originally with Dr. Klein at Humberview but the wait for him was too long so I got transferred. What about you?

Hey all I'm from Toronto and i just had my RNY surgery on December 1st. I too went through the TWH and honestly they are the best bariatric clinic in canada based on all the research I've done. It took me from orientation to surgery a year and a half due to complications i was a smoker and had other surgeries in between which pushed back some appointments also the sleep apnea test took forever! I would love to keep in touch with you guys don't know how much mentoring i can do as I'm only 2 weeks post op but ya would love for all us TWHers to keep in touch. Fyi i met my surgeon the day of surgery, i met with i guess the surgeons assistant and nurse when i got my surgery date. My surgeon was Dr. Urbach

That is gr8. I will also being having my surgery at Toronto western. It's scheduled for January 9th with Dr. Jackson. I will definitely reach out to you for some mentorship.

      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.
