Hi NadiaO,  I'm not certain but they should be able to tell you when you call admissions for your surgery time.

OMG!!!  If I get on that table and then find out that I have to do this for longer....uuughh.  I feel so bad for the person above.  I am scheduled for the 14 in Bathurst too.  Which Dr do you have, I have Dr Savoie.

I think any of us who have already been through this stage totally understand what you are going through.  It was the MOST difficult part for me for sure.  I had gained 18lbs over 9 months from when I signed my consent papers to when I got the call for surgery which resulted in having to do a week of boost and then 2 weeks of the Slimtime shakes...there were many days over the 3 weeks that I just wanted to give up and cheat but I did it and you can do it too!!!

Keep your eye on the prize it will be worth it!! I am 6 weeks out of surgery and I am down 50 pounds!!

Use instant coffee, use ice to keep them cold, drink lots of water, go to bed early and don't put yourself in situations where there is a lot of food! I avoided people, places and events during that 3 weeks!

I can understand why you would feel frustrated :(   I sincerely hope this round works for you....  

 

I am also scheduled for surgery on the 14th.  I have been on Boost for a week now, starting the 2nd week.... Didn't even realize there was the possibility that the Liquid/Veg Diet would not shrink the liver enough for surgery :( 

 

Good luck
