@@freshair I thought maybe you'd be able to come back if you weren't living too far away. I can see you're point though about the one on one. Thanks for the heads up because I wasn't expecting a group session for my one month follow up.

@@Ivanova8 im in North york and i go down on the train, so going and coming back on the train would be pointless and waiting around for 4 hours just wasn't as appealing to me anymore especially with the minus 30 weather. Hopefully I'll make it to the one on the 21st

@@cab127 I'm sorry I thought you were on Jan 9th. I think I've lost 8lbs. Like you I've also enjoyed my Opti-fast. But I will be happy to move on to the next stage. It's hard cooking for my hubby and not eating any of it. But it's all going to be worth it I'm sure.

Hi @ivanova8. The countdown is on. Remind me again are you at TWH. I am getting nervous and excited as well. If you are at TWH so am I and I am after you. Hoping you have a great recovery

Hi cab127,

I had terrible gas pains when I first got home....the more exercise I did the better. Meaning, walk, walk, walk. I lived to fart. I'm sorry if that offends but seriously it was a godsend.

@@anewme15 Hi. The first few days were okay except for the Constipation. But the past three days I've been dealing with light-headedness. I almost fainted twice while using the washroom. I talked to the nurse this morning. She says to keep as hydrated as I can and to take my time getting up. Not helping so far. She did say if it keeps up to go see my general practitioner. So I hope it improves over the next couple of days since I'm not up to drving yet. Thanks for asking. =)

      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.
