Hello :)
Yes Dr. Debra does the vertical sleeve!
Congratulations on your journey!!
Yes, I understand it's about shrinking your liver. Ensure HP is approved through Alberta Health Care Weight Loss Centre and in fact is the only option.
Thank you so much for the advice.
I met with my nutritionist today to discuss. We decided that I can eat a cup of oatmeal for breakfast and 4 shakes for the day and it I get really hungry I can have a plain salad, no calories, I tried that for a day and I didn't get sick or any side affects. I can handle the hunger but the vomiting and migranes were really tough.
So I will stick with that plan for my 3 week pre-surgery diet. I found when I eat something small for breakfast, ie: plan oatmeal, I don't feel ill.
Thanks again for the advice.
cheers
If you've been sticking to the red,green, yellow guide not drinking coffee or pop it will be a lot easier. You may also need lactaid. Practicing may just mess with your head.
But drinking one here and there might be good to see if just one makes you sick.
im guessing it's carb/sugar withdrawal and caffeine withdrawal.
it does get better after 4 days or so. Your body gets used to it.
It's not about empty bowels it's about shrinking your liver. Glucerna or Ensure HP regular Ensure isn't approved. Headaches happen especially if you have still been drinking coffee or eating a lot of sugar before hand.
Thanks for the advice. Basically, I gotta suck it up ; )
I am on day 16 of my liquid diet . . you can do it :) It really does get easier as the days go by.
All the best!
