I currently aim for 1500 calories, so 1256 is better than I thought it would be! Are they still doing the 1-cup diet? Portions have always been my issue, and so the 1-cup thing is what scares me the most lol. My husband plans on following the same diet I'll be on, so that will definitely help me stay on track! It's weird but I'm actually looking forward to all the nutritional rules :)
Congratulations. My referral was sent in July. I know I was accepted just waiting to hear when my first appointment is. ?
There is a clinic in Red Deer as well. But you need your Dr. to referr you to what ever one you want to go..That is if you are going through AHC. If you go to Mexico and paying out of pocket its completely different and you dont need a Dr. referral

I had my orintation in August and my husband also drives to Red Deer with me (also from Calgary) We usually stay the night before and come home the next day right after my appointment. You will be going to Red Deer once a month untill surgery, you will be meeting with a different Dr. / Specialist at each visit. I.E. nurse, dietition, psychologist, possibly surgeon, then dietition again and it repeats until surgery. Its very exciting. But I have to admit there are days when I question things speciially since I am on a 1256 cal diet and I get so darn hungrey...thats when I question things lol

Hi Simplycin, I noticed your referral went in at the beginning of June. Mine was sent in on June 22 of this year and waiting for my letter to arrive. I did find out that I was approved for the program.
Thanks! If you call the clinic they can check your file and tell you what group you'll likely be in :)
I am so excited for you. My referral was sent to Red Deer June 3rd....I check my mail box everyday...lol
