Hi to all,

Just want to let you know that we have a new surgeon in Bathurst, N.B. who does lapband, sleeves and lapband re-route. I met him a couple of weeks ago and my specialist for diabetes and some nurses I know praise his performance. I don't have my date yet. He said as soon as he could get an op-room, I'll have to follow an 2 weeks SlimFast diet and then I would have the surgery.

Clempier:biggrin:

Hi Marcie,

I have seen my doctor on May 29th, for Annie I don`t remember the date exaclty but it was a bit before me.. maybe end of April

I feel just like you... I wish I could get this surgery tomorow lol...

I think i`m going to go get myself some boost to try it for a couple of days....I see we are about the same age... Did you go to Esn or Bhs?

No, I am from the Moncton Area. Yeah I know I was thinking about trying the boost too, It is probably much easier though knowing you have to do it,instead of just trying it...my willpower is not real good ,that is why I am in this situation to begin with....haha

Marcie

Clempier, how are you doing?

Hey Clempier, haven't seen any news about you in a long while. How are ya doing? We are getting a bit worry here....

anyone alive lol The sun is back today yeah!

No word on any consult yet cindy?

Hi to all,

I'm on vacation right now and I'm loving it. Even if the sun seems to be shy to show up. I'm feeling really good. All the incisions healed well and it's a good thing when you're diabetic like me.

Now I can eat more things. The thing I have a hard time with is not having any liquid during the meals and the two hours waiting period after each meal. I never realized before my ways of drinking. Right now, what I do because I'm on vacation is having my cofee or my tea 15 minutes before my meal then I eat. I don't know what I'm going to do when I'll start to work. We'll see.

I really have to cut my meat in small pieces and what helps is if you mix it with gravy or something like that. When you feel you had enough, STOP even if your eyes says otherwise. It's like learning to eat all over again. The max. you can eat is 8oz and maybe even less sometimes. It depends what you eat. You have to think nutritional food if you want to have all the vitamins you need.

You also have to do exercices. Right now, I walk because if you don't you won't lose weight or way less than what you're expecting and even then. Exercice and me weren't friend but since I started to walk an hour a day my muscles are taking the place of the fat and even if I weight myself it remains the same. Even if I know that, I find it hard not to lose like when I was doing my 2 weeks with the Boost and the first weeks after the surgery. I lost 30 pounds so far and I'm waiting until my muscles settle down and I start to lose weight again. They say it takes generaly 2 weeks before your muscles expends or get use to the exercice.

Once, I ate to much and boys what a bad feeling. I felt nauseated but couldn't throw up, my stomack was hurting . . . not a good idea to try that.

I'm suppose to have my first fill July 20th. I'm starting to be hungry at times but I don't. I try not to eat between meals but I have a snack in the evening. I use small plates, bowls and cups now. Everything is small now, small portion, small bites and most important shew a lot.

Hope to hear from you,

clempier:thumbup:

So glad to hear from you, We were begining to worry! 30 lbs thats great, you must feel so good. Keep us posted on your first fill, and keep up the good work!

Clempier, have you heard how many surgeries Dr Savoie has done now or any news at the diabetic clinic?

Hi happygirl9,

No, I haven't head anything about how many patient he's done so far.

Hi to all again,

Something that will probably interest you I'm sure. If you go to www.weightview.com, you put a picture of you now and you say how many pounds you want to lose and they take you're picture and transform it to what you could look like when you reach your goal. Pretty cool, I did it. You may have a hard time if you're not into computer much, like me. My sister helped me. Pretty cool. My sister then put what I look like now and what I'll hopefully look like after and she put both on the same page and I'm planning to print it and put it on my fridge, my bedroom everywhere it can help me.

Try it !!!

clempier

missy 321 have you got your date yet??? any news?

Happy to hear from you Clempier, glad youre doing good.... I'm starting my boost diet on July 22..... Ouff starting to be strees about it.

you must be really getting anxious! Are you nervous?

I am getting so discouraged thinking that all these patients who seen Dr Savoie last October are now just seeing him again, I just had my referral 2 months ago so I can't imagine waiting until next year! Does anybody know how many he does a week or is he doing all of the other surguries now (sleeve ect.) or just lap band? How many times do you have to meet with Dr. Savoie before the surgury?
