Good for you Ann.  The month will go fast.  I am already 2 months post op. Hard to believe.  Good luck and keep us posted.   Doris QC.

I got a call this morning from Danielle at Sacre Coeur....  She wanted to know if I was still interested to get a sleeve from dr.Atlas....   I said: well of course!!!  So she asked me some questions and gave an appointment on the 26th of May at 9 o'clock in the morning for a meeting with the nutritionist....   I'm so happy right now, I'm floating on a cloud....   Finally, after 28 months of waiting, some good news....   Now , I can't wait for the next month to pass quickly!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anne

Thanks everyone for all your input. I was also thinking of doing the shake for breakfast since I'm not too good eating first thing in the morning. Even now I do have breakfast but only when I get to work. We shall see when the time comes...

Brenda I'd love that phone number if you can dig it up because I think that eventually I'd like to see a bariatric Nut.

Thanks again everybody and have a great evening!

Hugs!

Still trying to fix my avitar.  crap. 

That is awesome news Ada....I did use a private Nut and they are located on Green Avenue. I will dig out my info. They are a clinic that Dr. Christou uses and they do specialize in Bariatric preop and postop services. To be honest I only seen her twice as I felt that I really didn't need them earlier on. I do work with a Nut at the hospital and she has been very curious with Bariatric surgery and has been there for me if I have questions on certain foods or interpretation of labels. She has given me good tricks. I would say that you would probably need her more after a year or so rather than early on. Your stomach can only eat so much and there is a good variety of meal plans on various bariatric surgeons site that you get a good idea of what to eat and when to eat it. Dr. Christou's site has their meal plans online www.weightlosssurgery.ca. It will give you a guideline. As for breakfast. I had a protein drink for a the first year postop. I still have a hard time eating solids but I can eat oatmeal with lactose free milk and I add a scoop of soy protein. I put that in a thermos and bring it to work and take baby spoonfuls during the morning. It is equivalent to a cup and it sustains me until lunch. I can eat a solid lunch and supper but mornings are still tough for me. In the begining I ate alot of eggs, omelets, baked fritta etc. You'll have to experiement Ada and see how your tummy reacts to different foods. The toughest part is getting veggies in post op. By the time you eat protein there is little room for anything else. I try really hard to get my fruits in as snacks but I don't get enough veggies. My labs are good so I am not worried at this point. I do take my vits though. Hope this helps!
