Recommended Posts

Final reminder to patients of The Surgical Weight Loss Centre that our next Lap-Band Peer Support Group meeting is tomorrow night on Thursday, April 16th, at a Mississauga location at 7:30 - 9:30 pm. (Room will be open at 7 pm.) Please contact me for location details.

Tammy one of the clinic's beloved nurses will be our guest speaker for the full two hours and will be answering fill and band questions and any concerns. It promises to be a good turnout so please RSVP me by 5 pm tomorrow if you plan to attend as it will help me in arranging the room seating.

Also a reminder that next month on Thursday, May 21st, Kelly the Wellness Coach from the clinic will be the guest speaker and will explain her role in helping support you on your journey and answering questions.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow night! :)

Regards,

Donna

Hi Hannah,

I was banded at the SWLC clinic three years ago and started the Mississauga support group for fellow bandsters of the clinic. The clinic sponsors the support group but does not run the group at all, it is a peer support group. I facilitate it at a location in Mississauga in a community room. If you would like to be on my email contact list for monthly reminders of our meetings feel free to send me your email contact info at donna-06@hotmail.com .

Our next meeting is on Thursday, May 21st, at 7:30 pm and our guest speaker will be Kelly who is the Wellness Coach at The Surgical Weight Loss Centre. You are more than welcome to attend.

      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.
