Hey there,

I am from northern Alberta, looking for some other Alberta ladies to join.

I am still pre-op but that will change in 18 days! I am very excited but apprehensive all at the same time.

Hi! I'm from Calgary, although I just had sleeve surgery a week ago in Medicine Hat. I'd love to cultivate a good support group, online or in person.

I'm in Hinton. My sleeve was May 14/14.

Be well during your surgery. Try to get up and walk if your able. It helps get the gas out. Take the pain meds - it helps

Hi all,

I'm from just outside of Edmonton and would love to chat with some of you. I have not made the decision for sure weather or not to do this. I have struggled for 35 years to lose and maintain but always gain back and more. If I continue this way I know I will suffer the consequences soon. I don't qualify for surgery in alberta because I'm not heavy enough so I'm considering going to Mexico. I'd love to hear more from people who have actually gone to Mexico and your experience.

      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.
