I'm back at work this morning. 41 pounds lighter. No regrets at all. Going to see dr. Savoie for my first fill on monday.

Hi Clempier, I'm doing fine I keep myself actif and I dont crave any junk food. I've lost 20 lbs and still have 3 days to go b4 the surgery. The first week was tough because boost made me vomit but now they switch me on Glucerna.... SOOOOO better... They are actually good. Keith

No the blood test will be around 1 month prior the surgery.

You'll see the nurse first she'll ask you some question take youre BP pulse and so on. After you'll meet with the dietician and she'll explain you everything about your diet than you'll see dr. Savoie and he will decide if your ready or not for the surgery. If you haven't change your bad food habbit he might put you a diet for a few months and do the surgery after. But if you have changed youre habbit he will give you youre surgery date. Everything take around 1.5 hr. hope it helps. Keith

Ouff I have started the boost yesterday.... wow clampier your tuff 2 weeks on that i slike starving yourself for 2 weeks. It's only my second day and i'm going crazy... lol... But when I think of what's at the end of the line I tell myself that I need to tuff it out.

I know i've tried the boost b4 for me I dont really like it... so i'm gonna plug my nose and drink it all at once.... I'm not really nervouns about the surgery had a lot of those B4. I'm just stressed about the fact that I wont be able tu use food as my confort food anymore. lol I'll manage...

It's funny I made a list af thing I want to eat B4 the surgery... lol... it's my own bucket list.... I tried the boost for the first time last week and its not that bad.... But I guess that after 2 week of it, juste seing the bottle will make me gag... lol... I thing what i will miss more is you know on a hot summer day when your really really thirsty and you feel like drinking a half liter a water in one drink. Ahhh welll I guess it all for the best, I need for once to take care of my heath Shipp
