I'm scheduled for October 5th. I live in Montreal Canada. Today is day 4 liquid diet. I am allowed to eat raw or steamed vegetables in between. Are you ?

I wish I could eat veggies. I'm October 6th And 3 days into liquid diet. I can have Protein shakes, cottage cheese, yogurt and Jello. I'm struggling but haven't cheated.

Hi everyone , I'm getting the sleeve on October 18th . And I was told the sleeve doesn't help people with acid reflux , for some reason the doctor decided for sleeve . Does anyone know if the acid reflux could get better or worse with the sleeve ? Thank you

My surgery was moved from 19 to 27. Ugh. Dr on vacation. But ok! I was wondering if u guys wanted to do photos the day or week before surgery then like every month to show our progress. I was reading a different thread and some people don't see the changes others do. But regardless it's a great way to start your journey. I'll be looking forward to seeing your 4 week results. When mine happen I'll post too. Good luck October sleeves!

My surgery is in Montreal at the Sacre Coeur Hospital. The way it works for me is that I am on a public sector list. That is why it took in total 3 years for my surgery to come about. Had I went private I could had had the surgery almost immediately. But I would it would have cost me. This way the province pays for the surgery.

You won't have to do a pre-op diet?

      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.
