I think any of us who have already been through this stage totally understand what you are going through.  It was the MOST difficult part for me for sure.  I had gained 18lbs over 9 months from when I signed my consent papers to when I got the call for surgery which resulted in having to do a week of boost and then 2 weeks of the Slimtime shakes...there were many days over the 3 weeks that I just wanted to give up and cheat but I did it and you can do it too!!!

Keep your eye on the prize it will be worth it!! I am 6 weeks out of surgery and I am down 50 pounds!!

Use instant coffee, use ice to keep them cold, drink lots of water, go to bed early and don't put yourself in situations where there is a lot of food! I avoided people, places and events during that 3 weeks!

OMG!!!  If I get on that table and then find out that I have to do this for longer....uuughh.  I feel so bad for the person above.  I am scheduled for the 14 in Bathurst too.  Which Dr do you have, I have Dr Savoie.

I was able to have the surgery.  I'm so happy for you that you were able to have it completed this time.  I sent you a pm.  Hope you are feeling better every day

HI there, I'm totally new and just getting the referall to a Dr in Bathurst.  Not sure how long this will take, I've been told a year or so.  I do have a question about the Boost, have they suggested anything else, just lactose is an issue for me and boost is full of dairy. HMMM  gonna start doing my homework now.

Hi, I'm sure they must have another option for you.  You also get 2 cups of certain veggies.  I couldn't say how long the wait will be for a new referral.  Hopefully it moves along quickly for you.
