I Finally got my surgery date set for November 2017 after being in the program for so long, and if you're in Ontario, Canada you know how long it takes. But in Mid July I had a kidney stent placed for a stone I had in the Kidney and it caused a severe kidney infection and inflammation. I ended up in the hospital and 3 surgeries later I am still in so much pain I can barely move to go to work and every other day I end up in the emergency. I feel like my body got a big hit with this infection and is not ready for another surgery it needs time to really heel but I am afraid if I postpone my Nov Surgery they will cancel it for good. I waited too long for it. I don't know if anyone in the GTA has ever postponed their surgery? Do they give you a couple of months? Or just push you for another year?

Hi there. I'm in Ontario and had my surgery at Toronto western in Oct 2017. I'm so sorry to hear about all of your setbacks. I never postponed my surgery, but the people that work there are so nice and understanding. All you can do is ask and then make your decision based on what they say. Good luck to you!

      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.
