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.

Hi there,

Dr. Barry Simon wants to do an amazing talk for us this year at the

bash so he has asked me to pose this question to all of you and he

will incorporate the answers into his talk. Please forward your

answers to the following email address - canadianbandsterbash @

rogers. com (please take out the spaces)

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!!

take care

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.

      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.
