ZamTash 0 Posted October 14, 2015 Hi. How did it go with the doctor in Montreal? Would you recommend? Do they offer a good follow up program? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
More than this 116 Posted October 14, 2015 Hi everyone. You have all been so helpful, thanks so much! I am in Montreal right now & tomorrow is my surgery. Pretty nervous. So afraid of failing as I have failed so many diets. Dr Gagner has been very thorough. I am not afraid for the surgery, because of his thoroughness in regards to all my allergies. I won't be able to take anything stronger than Tylenol, once I have surgery done so I hope it's not too painful. Montreal is beautiful. It's right downtown & close to the hospital. So far so good. It's almost 11:30 pm here & even with being awake 4am my time (2 hours or is it 3? Ahead here) I can't sleep. Anxious. They had me go on a 1 day clear liquid diet, that's it. When I got to the hotel, by the way they cover 2 nite sin hotel, one with nurse, they had bottled Water, Jello, Gatorade, & broth all waiting for me. Very nice. Felt very well taken care of. Can hardly wait to meet my team tomorrow. I did have problems trying to find a low cal, low sugar high Protein shake/drink that I don't have to take out a 2nd mortgage for, lol. Bought the Atkins though, which is affordable but not very high protein-wise. Perhaps I am reaching to high for protein content? I'll figure it out. Wish me luck & pray everything works out! Will let everyone know how I do, which is hopefully very well. Hope I succeed at losing weight & not failing this time. Talk to you all soon & again, thanks for all your comments!! Sure helped me out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think they discontinued it but it's still available at costco. I mixed it with unsweetened chocolate almond milk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
