The symposium was great



Recommended Posts

:thumbup:Hey all,

I don't know how many of you where there but the symposium hosted by Dr. Cobourns team was great. I learnt a lot about my band, complications and living with the band and more over emotionally what I can experience. I reallllly felt like I was not alone. I especially love the last speaker Carole Bertuzzi Luciani she blew me away. Did anyone else go...how did you all like it?

Hi all

I was there and it was awesom I went to friday so I got to meet a few people then, the entire thing was excellent. I left before Carole spoke because I know her in my professional life and I have told no one about the band. I hope it becomes a regular thing and even more people come

Hi Sweet

I was sitting at the back of the room, close to the door that was close to the womens bathroom.

There were only 5 people at my table, and based on your pic, none of them was you ! I would have liked it if there was more mingling encouraged, for example if they asked us to sit with different people at lunch etc.

I hope the person that you thought was me, was skinny and gorgeous (lol)

      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.
