i am on week 4 of boost. i was scheduled on the 31st of aug. the surgeon started the operation but realized my liver was to big. i don't understand why. i had 3 boost a day, i walked, i even lost weight. when weighed in before the procedure, my weight loss was 27lbs in 2 weeks. he then says you need 2 more weeks of boost, so now i'm doing the 4 a day, and i've had a few cucumber slices. no real food for a long time. i was working right up until that surgery date, my new date is the 14th. he said if my liver is still to big then i will need another month of boost...that would make it 2 months...so what am i doing wrong that my liver won't shrink? frustrated 

I had the same experience on the Boost. I found if I crushed ice (or put it through the blender) and poured the Boost over it made it more tolerable, the colder the better as the taste was way too sweet. I was also allowed 2 cups of certain raw vegetables a day which was a big help- cucumber, tomato, cabbage, lettuce although with nothing on them.

I also became very weak, so much so that I had to stop working on week 2 as I almost passed out at work.

I lost 26 pounds on the 2 weeks of Boost, had my surgery 2 weeks ago and unfortunately have not lost a single ounce since. I'm hoping that changes soon. I'm only taking in around 750 calories a day and only about 1/2 of the 60 gm of protein recommended daily. I start pureed foods next week and am hoping more variety will make a difference.

It is a struggle of a journey but I'm hoping worth it in the long run. Keep trying, make sure to keep hydrated with water and best of luck with your surgery! You can do this!!

I'm just going to be a leaf on the wind for this. They will call when they call.

Either way, it's all good. Although I'd hate to be in recovery over Christmas.

When does the second appointment usually happen and is that when I meet Dr.Savoie?

Hi,

Does anyone know the cost to get a private or semi-private room at the Bathurst Regional?  Thanks
