Thoughts at nine weeks out?


Molly83 posted a discussion topic 8 years, 3 months ago

Hi,

Im feeling pretty good...post op day 10. I have a list of questions for my one week appointment tomorrow but the more I look over the list the more I think it is the dietician I need to speak to and not the nurse, hmm.

I'm hoping sh

Ugh. Feeling ok I guess. No more pain meds but starting Sunday at 7 had some bleeding. Waiting to see surgery again this am. Nurse said not to surprised if I stay again tonight just to be safe. Jealous of the guy in the bed beside me though. Rolled in

Ok, the opti sheets says "chicken boullion/beef or vegetable broth" is an acceptable fluid. Is chicken dehydrated broth ok? what is the difference between broth and boullion???

I am going through Ottawa if that helps. The next line says "do not

I woke up with a stuffed up nose. My nose must have been contested at night because I can feel crap in my throat. I have 6 days until surgery. I sure hope this congestion passes soon. I am keeping my heat up in the house and trying to get descent sleep

So my first day really sucked. Four packages down only 80 to go. I hope tomorrow is better. Luckily I had a very supportive group of coworkers.

I know what you will say but I'm here posting anyways. I am impatiently waiting for my call to tell me when my surgery will be. When I was in to meet the surgeon I was told it would be 2 to 3 months before my surgery. That was September 21. I just can'

Hi,

just wondering what people order from unjury in terms of vitamins. Trying to remember what they told me.


Molly83 posted a discussion topic 8 years, 6 months ago

I meet the surgeon on Sept 21 and hopefully will soon after get my surgery date. I am having my surgery in Ottawa and live 2 hours out of town. My mother will be driving me. Anyone from the area know how long I will be in the hospital and if I should b

Hi everyone,

I bought Kaizen Naturals whey isolate in both chocolate and vanilla. The chocolate I have no issue with. I mix it with milk, banana and peanut butter and it tashes ok. The vanilla I am struggling with. I have tried quite a few and

Ok, I am a little confused. I am reading over my papers from the hospital (Ottawa) and it appears I will only need protein shakes for days 3-7 then onto puree foods. I am currently stressing

Hi,

Would you recommend doing something like ww before surgery? I was thinking if I lost 30ish pounds before I had surgery I would then be able to get to a lower weight after surgery...thoughts?

Hi,

Just wondering if some people from Ottawa would share their time line for this process. I am seeing a lot of variation at the bottom of the many posts. Just curious. I have my Nut/Beh appointment on July 24 and am wondering what happens aft

I'm having a great deal of difficulty getting motivated to track my food. I've come to realize I eat out of boredom I also eat because of emotions and because it's habit. I start to write down what i am eating and then I realize man I'm eating really p

I am getting really excited. I just had my intake appointment not long ago where she went over the questionnaire did some blood work, weighed and measured me and we talked quite a bit. I now have my nutritionist and behavior person appointment July 24.


Molly83 posted a discussion topic 8 years, 11 months ago

So I went into Ottawa Wednesday and completed the blood work needed for my intake appointment. They are so efficient and kind at the Riverside campus. I generally find blood taking to be painful but they are sure experts there. I want to say thank you

Hello all,

I am going for my intake appointment and was sent a blood work requisition. I have no idea what it says and therefore do not know if I need to fast or not. I meant to call today but then forgot until 5:20 when of course they were clo

So I went for mu orientation March 2. I must say after all the research I did there was not too much new stuff. But a lot of things were confirmed and a couple new things learned. I was then told to wait 3 months for my next appointment. I have that bo
