Questions for anyone who's gone through the Royal Jubilee Program

yes..one of the very few downfalls to living in a smaller or rural part of town :)

Thanks rabgal, I think 2 days is probably okay.  I'll for sure let everyone know how I'm doing, I started to journal right after I met with Dr. Lam as it started to feel real then and I thought it would be interesting to read it back after the journey.  I've been seeing Dr. Z monthly for about 4 years now so it's a different feeling when I started to meet with Carla and Dr. Lam.  I'm drinking Glucerna right now, I might try the Boost diabetic.  I'm a little frugal so I bought glucerna because it was on sale for $7.99/6 pack at London Drugs.  I did sign up on Glucerna's website for coupons, yesterday $25 worth of coupons for $3-5 off each pack arrived in my mail talk about timing!

The hospitals only provide certain weeks for bariatric, so it might take some time after your meeting with Dr. Lam to get a date, for me it was about a month, and then only one month before the actual surgery because someone was bumped. You're definately close to a date!

Fantastic Jibledoe!  Can't wait to hear about your progress.

I'll definitely sign up for the coupons - that's a great tip :)

How have you found working with Doctor Lam? I have been keeping my journal in MyFitnessPal since last June so I'll be bringing a pretty large stack of paper with me to my appointment, lol.

So excited to see things getting closer :)

Cheers,

Sam

Thanks Sam,

Dr. Lam is great I just brought a one month printout she didn't actually look at it though, Carla and Dr.Z always do but Dr. Lam didn't but bring it just in case. I found they were looking for protein consumption daily more than anything else just to make sure you were getting enough and could keep it up after surgery.

Day one of glucerna done I made the mistake of taking only wild berry to work I need some variety tomorrow's stash will be better. 

Cheers,

Jill

Hi Sam and Odette,

Just in case you want to stockpile some Glucerna it goes on sale tomorrow at London Drugs $7.99/6 pack.  I'm taking my coupons in tomorrow to stock up.

Jill

Ohhhh thanks Jill - I'll be getting a few of those 

This is so exciting for you guys! Please keep us posted on your progress.

Hi...I'm Karen and I live in Victoria...I'm just about to gave my 2nd appointment with Carla and Dr. Z. (April 2) I'm looking forward to surgery as a means to hopefully get my diabetes and sleep apnea under control. I'm a little concerned as I also gave Crohns Disease but my internet referred me to the program so I guess in her opinion it's ok.

it will be good to talk to others that are in the same program.
