Anyone on here from Saskatchewan?



Recommended Posts

I'm almost 10 months into my band and couldn't be happier. Only one fill at 6 wks post-op and am down about 50 lbs. I told only my hubby and 2 kids about the surgery so, I know how it feels to be kind of alone in the experience. That's why sites like this one are so valuable.

I lived in Prince Albert for forever! We moved to Saskatoon about 1 1/2 yrs ago. We probably know each other, it is such a small world.

Mamma G, maybe you need a fill? I know 2 fill nurses here in S'toon. Contact me if you need #'s.

Were you at the meeting Nov. 15 where Dr. Carmen Cajella was down, I'm sure she was from Dr. Corvalla's clinic.

It's tough when you've got 10 kids to care for and for yourself too! I find 2 kids and 4 dogs a challenge.

You can do this! You have this awesome tool!

Good luck!

yes i was at the meeting with 5 of my girls lol, yes dr carment was a part of my team. they were wonderful, i just need a close buddy, for encouragement etc. I am going on Friday for a fill With Lorna, hope that will help, things are going down tooo easy, i just don't take the time i should, and eat too fast. I know i need to train my head. send me a private message, i still have to figure out how to do that:blush: were you at the meeting???

      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.
