Hi,"Green"

If you can make it to Bloor and Spadina, on TTC, I can give you a lift from there. Susan Silver is also coming with me, I think???

That would be cool. I live fairly close to Bloor and Spadina. I live at Bloor and Dufferin and I often walk home from my doc's office/physio's office and these are situated close to Bloor and Spadina.

What time, what day, and how will we recognise each other??? It would be fun to meet you all.

Well, I went to the lapband lunch at Kelsey's yesterday and it sure was a lot of fun. :biggrin1: It is really great to meet fellow lapbandsters in the real world. ;) I want to thank the folks who arranged this get-together and Lisa In TO who very kindly helped me out by giving me a lift. :clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2::clap2: A very big thanks from Green. :ranger:

Hi I too had a great time at the luncheon :hungry: yesterday. It was nice seeing those I haven't seen since the annual bandster bash in May and new pre-op and post op bandsters. Was sorry I had to leave early but at least I missed being tempted to have dessert ;).

Looking forward to the next get together!

Hello All

I wanted to say a special Thank You to all those who attended the lunch yesterday, you all made me feel very welcome, and I am even more excited about getting "banded" on August 15 (if it is possible to be more excited) Thank you for sharing your wisdom, hope, strength and compassion. I look forward to "lunching" with you all really soon.

Canadian Lapbanders organizes a lunch every month and they move it around the city so it hits the west end, east end, and central areas as well. Anyone is welcome to join I know Laurie who organizes them was going to post on Lapbandtalk as well. I think this months is in Ajax at Applebees but I don't know the date.

      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.
