Topic: RE: Abdominal Supports

Don't forget the States are way different in bariatrics than Canada...I've been researching for a long time...and same as you I am on support groups...a lot of them have problems with surgery or after...their diet after is 1 week liquids and 1 week puree...some less some more....

I have to tell you I could not have felt like I have received better care than I did with Dr Sermerjian in Bathurst the whole team is phenomenal....

You're right, but I cheated once we went to full liquid.

Topic: RE: Coffee

I cheated on this as soon as I was off of clear liquids. Although, to be fair, I'm having more of a cafe au lait - one part hot milk and one part coffee.

The milk keeps the acid down and the coffee keeps me from going psychopath - this seems like a fair trade to me.

Topic: RE: Abdominal Supports

I had my surgery in Bathurst about 2 weeks ago. I didn't receive anything like that.

Not sure that there was any need for one. My advice would be to call them and ask; they're very accommodating.

Topic: RE: Coffee

I used to be a big coffee drinker...now not so much...I could never fini**** in the morning so I just stopped buying it and now I don't even make one at work anymore.  What I've done is I have the Chicken Soup flavored Unjury Protein Powder and I make a hot cup of it each morning...my co-workers looked at me a little funny the first couple of times but now they are used to it.  It satisfies my need for a hot beverage in the morning and it gives me 21g of protein right off the bat :)
