When are you having your surgery done? Is it in Hamilton? I actually lived there till I was 13. Went to Adelaide Hoodless public school. Small world, lol.

I don't have a date yet. I'm going to meet with the dietician on Monday. It's my first step. It is all going to be through St. Joe's here in Hamilton. I requested the referral from my Dr almost three years ago... It took her 2 years until I finally realized she had no intention of sending me... Though she said she was in favor of it. Anyways, that's done... Positive thoughts now!!

I went to a private school in Hamilton. Had a bit of a sheltered upbringing. :-)

I found out on Friday that my surgery is on July 7 at Toronto Western Hospital! I can't wait, but I am not looking forward to three weeks of Optifast. Blah.

Hi all, I haven't been on here for a few weeks but I DID IT! May 28 was my day and I ended up havering the RNY bypass, my surgeon explained that the sleeve still doesn't have enough research on it and he's getting sleeve patients coming in with problems and the RNY has been around for 30 years and is proven most successful. I haven't been on because during my Optifast pre. Op diet I was also in the middle of moving from Brampton to Shelburne. The optifast was definitely the hardest the first 3 days, then it was a piece of cake, maybe because I was so busy from morning till night but I lost 12 lbs in that week and a half on it. I'm down 20lbs now including the 12 :). It's been 1 weeks today since surgery and I'm doing great, sometimes I feel like I didn't have the surgery! No pain thank God, I was up and walking the day of surgery and I think that helped too. Any questions feel free my bariatric friends xoxo

      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.
