Topic: What are you eating/doing Wednesday?

Good morning all!

The plan tonight is that my friend meet me after work and we do a Costco run. I need a few of my regular stock up items plus this week they have the Combat Protein powder on sale and the Pure Protein bars too. I always grab a rotisserie chicken just for slicing and eating for the next couple of days too.... yum.

B - greek yogurt

S - egg bites

L - chicken skewers, salad

S - shrimp & seafood sauce

D - protein shake and maybe a sample or 2 at costco

S - turkey pepperettes

Don't beat yourself up about it but going forward its important that you 100% follow the diet. Looks like you have 5 days before surgery so make these days count and follow the plan. Good luck to you.

Dr. Matic at the London Plastic surgery does OHIP covered plastic surgery through the hospital. Hopefully your doctor can get you referred.

Topic: Surgeons who will do a Panni covered by OHIP in London area?

Anyone have success in getting the panni covered in London Ontario area?

My family doctor says OHIP does not cover but I know this is not correct as I have seen many people get this covered. But because she says she doesn;t know who would then, I need to give her a name to refer me to.

Thanks for your help!

Topic: How long do they put you on optifast for an 18cm liver span?

Anyone know?

I'm currently awaiting my consent appointment in Hamilton (was told I should hear from them within the next few weeks) but I'm bored and anxious for more knowledge. Curious how large your liver was and how long you had to go on optifast for it.

Does your calcium supplement have added magnesium?

Hi Meggles07

I take 600 mgs of calcium twice a day with 3,000 IU of Vitamin D also twice a day. I also take two pre-natal multivitamins (for the extra iron). I also get a B12 shot weekly and occasionally I get iron injections but right now my iron is acceptable.

I will try posting this in the RNY board too, good idea.

Thanks,

Topic: RE: Optifast diet

Hi

I too had a slip and talked to the hospital dietitian about it. She suggested I refocus and do the best I could. Physical hunger led to the slip. I have no idea why hunger rages, then days like today I am not hungry at all. So frustrating.

Getting down on yourself isn't helpful. If I may be so bold as to suggest you look at this as a learning opportunity and determine why you had the slip. If it wasn't physical hunger but emotional eating that may be something you want to examine more closely.

Two thoughts:

Have you tried cross-posting this on the RNY board? I think there is a lady on there with info about SIBO who could maybe respond.

What vitamins/supplements are you taking?
