You can register right up into May, as long as your registration form and payment gets there prior to all the specific bash stuff being put together, the committee is happy. Basically they need the payment and the registration form we have some stuff that gets put together for each person and that has to be arranged based on numbers etc.

If you live in the west end and the hotel and bash are too much just come to the bash part and skip the hotel. I am sure you will be able to change for dinner etc in someones room, if you need to you can use mine.

will incorporate the answers into his talk. Please forward your

answers to the following email address - canadianbandsterbash @

What is the single, most difficult psychological or behavioral

challenge of living with a band?

Thanks so much for your participation in making this a great event!!

Susan,

I will ask the committee, I am thinking possibly not because we have to have all the meals etc determined for the hotel. I understand you will still be on liquids or mushies. I can say by the end of the month you should be up to the bash unless you react really badly to surgery.

I will try and get the last date you can register for the bash and post it here.

Argon,

I got your answer this morning the last day to register is around 7 days prior to the event so we can notify catering of final numbers. Keep in mind that it is not just the dinner, there are Snacks and lunch during the seminars for the people who attend.

With that said if you can't make up your mind until after that the bash committee will try and accomodate you as best they can.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
