Topic: RE: Hi! Newbie here scheduled for FEB 13TH!
Hi,
You go to your medical doctor and they do the referral to Dr. Pace in St. John's. Yes, MCP does cover this surgery (laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy is the only one they are doing). But do it fast... the waiting list is expected to get up to 5 years very shortly.

Totally happy for you. I am about to start the process with my family doc. I know it will take a while, but I am excited just thinking about starting. My sister had surgery done 2 yrs ago and she is doing fabulous. Thanks to this site I found Dr. Pace.

Topic: RE: Magic Bullet Shake ideas??
Hi Ladies: I've been on the liquid diet now since Dec. 28th. Have my app. with
Releen & Rhoda on Fri. to bring in my food journal. You really need to try and
start eating when you get up. The more you can get in before supper the better.
Eating anything after 8pm. is only sabatoging the work you did all day.The key
is to have at least 60g of protein a day and Rhoda would like even 70-80g. But,
it's hard on liquids. The protein tetra pkgs. at Costco are delicious and they have
30g. in them. You need your protein so you don't lose muscle instead of fat.
One smoothie I like is : Put in a blender 1 high protein Vanilla Boost, 4 oz. OJ,
and 4 ice cubes. It's just like a creamcicle. To make it more filling throw in a med.
banana. The more weight that you can lose while waiting for surgery will help
you have a safer surgery. Dr. pace will be very pleased if you help with that. I
was 326lbs. in June when I saw him the 1st. time. Now, I will be just under 300
when I see them on Fri. It take a little bit of willpower but you can do it. I wasn't
a breakfast person either but drinking a shake is not too hard. Good Luck.

Topic: RE: 2 weeks diet
optifast is prescribed by your surgeon and it is used 2-3 weeks before you surgery, it is a protein shake, you have 4 per day.. and only allowed broth, sugar free jellos,, black coffee.. no solid food,, i believe at one time it was used solely for weightloss but is now used for weighloss before surgery, it helps take the fat of the liver before surgery or so i'm told, i will tell you, six days on the opit and i am down seven pounds, i never feel hungry, its amazing,, hoping to be a total of 10 before my surgery next week, thats 10 less i have to lose afterwards, if you go on the ontario forum you will see all hospitals in ont use this, i know every surgeon is different, and some allow you to eat celery, but this is what i am on and now my panties are getting to big..lol.. good luck to all that is having the surgery, i can't wait for next tuesday, the start of new things, and i'm coming home to nfld in july .. miss it so much..
