My timeline on my signature is for Guelph, but it is almost 5 years old now. The staff have been great there.

Hello. I had a friend do an Optifast program with
VILLAGE HEALTH
OPTIFAST clinic85 Laird Drive, Suite 201 Toronto, Ontario M4G 3T7 T. 416 445 4459 F. 416 445 5130 E. [email protected] www.villagehealth.ca You are monitored by a Doctor. Not sure if they deal with PostOp patients you can call and ask. Good Luck!
If you are only 2 yr out call your centre and see the Dietitian. Optifast really is for pre op or the medical diet route. Speak to your GP as well to get into therapy. there is a reason why you are not losing. You need to deal with those demons. Seek therapy to see why you are eating . You can do it

Optifast is given by prescription only. Usually only folk apart of the medical/surgery program can get optifast. You may call your centre and see if you can get into the medical program
Hello..
I had a gastric bypass Feb 2017.
I've made some pretty crappy decisions over the last 365 days. I have managed to gain quite a bit of weight back.
I'm trying to get back on optifast. Is there not a way to get it...at all?
I have spoken with TWH nurses. I have spoken with my family doctor. So far no luck.
Anyone?

Not taking a B6 supplement, but do take a sublingual B12. I heard taking B6 can cause damage if you overdo it. Did they test your B6. Maybe it's one I need to add to my blood work.

Good morning :)
We had a rough night last night (teething) so we didn't go swimming this morning. We are planning to meet DH for lunch at freshii. I have never been there before but it looks like they have nice salads and wraps.
Does anyone take a B6 supplement other than their multi?
QOTD: I'm definitely more of an impulse buyer, but less so since we bought our house -- now I shop the flyers and coupon. Online shopping is my current downfall. It is too easy to fill up a cart on Amazon or Walmart and have it in a couple days.
Post-op four years.
Breakfast - yogurt, banana, blueberries
Snack - nut bar
Lunch - freshii
Snack - pepperette, cheese
Dinner - some random leftovers hiding in the fridge
Snack - pudding
All water and vits.
Happy Friday! Sounds like you were getting your groove on in a big way CC. I never enjoyed dancing due to that "everyone's watching me" paranoia but we did have a wii and did that Dance one where you follow the moves to songs..... and we usually ended up on the floor laughing our butts off.
QOTD: No I'm definitely not an impulse shopper. I will splurge on high ticket items once in a blue moon if I know they are going to last me for years (ex. high quality leather set). Generally though I debate on buying something,,,,, pass on it then kick myself a few weeks later.
B - yogurt, raspberries
S - boiled egg
L - leftover rotisserie chicken
S - 1/2 protein bar
D - likely more chicken with some kind of veggie
S - melba toast, PB
Hello All,
My Hubby got a call yesterday and he has been assigned to Guelph. Orientation next month. I was surprised because I was assigned to Humber. I have my surgery date set for June.
I know every clinic has a different program. Wondering if anyone can share what the Guelph process looks like.
Thanks in advance.

I'll give you a report Monday ;) The thread I look up my Costco sales on showed someone raving about them and that wasn't even someone who "had" to eat lean so that's why I wanted to try them.
