Hi! I am on day 4 of my boost diet - we were told 5 a day and lots of water, tea etc. I am getting nervous! My date is November 25.
At least you have some talkers. I'm from Nova Scotia, and the only noise over there is the crickets chirping.. We should have a Maritime, or Atlantic Canada forum, then there would be at least 10 more people contributing..lol. I wish people downeast had more to say about their local experiences. I'm down in Halifax and there are very few support groups for obesity here, I can't attend the hospital group cause I didn't have surgery here. How about you? Are you having your surgery in New Brunswick or are you traveling out of province? I went to Mexico for mine, the wait times in Nova Scotia are 10 years... Disgraceful.
I put my veggies in chicken broth, add a little garlic, or some hot sauce (sugar free of course) and any other herbs and spices you like and it's not a bad veggie soup. I had it every day pre-op, it's what got me through. What's better then a warm bowl of soup on a cold day in November? Well, lots of things, but we work what we got, am I right?
I must admit that I am a bit of a creeper. I do like this forum though I have to agree it is a bit slow ?
I've posted some, but there is not a great depth of people here.
Also, I think we lose a lot post-op.
there isn't much interest in this forum! I seem to be the only one constantly posting...lol. Come on people you can't call it a forum if no one post...lol
No you aren't... Friends at work loved them too....i must be the weird one...lol
I must be the oddball on here. I LOVED everyone one of my Boosts! I used flavour extracts like peppermint or orange to change up the flavours. I still drink them a couple of times a week and I still enjoy them.
I had my boost at breakfast, lunch, supper and evening snack. I would have 1 cup of veggies at lunch and supper. I had to drink the boost with a straw and plug my nose so I couldn't taste it. I could only do protein shakes for a few days after surgery and now haven't been able to even think about drinking them. I am thankful that I can get my 60 g of protein from food right now. During the pre op diet I just kept telling myself that it was the next step to have the surgery. It was a long 2 weeks but well worth it. Wishing you all the best on your pre op diet!!
