Friday is quickly approaching and I'm trying to prepare for after surgery. What protein is everyone taking or drinking ? I was just at Costco on the weekend and hesitated on buying the big box of premier protein as I have read that some don't like it ,

Wow ! 9 days done and 5 to go..I can't believe I have made it this far with optifast . It sure hasn't been easy , and for anyone just starting that or about to the chocolate is way better then the vanilla ! Which is surprising as I usually love vanilla

I think reality has hit now that I have received my surgery date ! Even though it's in Oct. I have a feeling the next 3 months are going to fly by just as this whole process has . I'm super excited but yet so nervous

Meeting with Dr Glazer tomorrow !! Not entirely sure what to expect ...How long did this appointment usually last ? What should I expect after meeting with him ? If everything goes ok , how long until surgery ?


Beachgirl77 posted a discussion topic 6 years, 11 months ago

Just curious to know what happens at this appointment and how long it is ?


Beachgirl77 posted a discussion topic 6 years, 12 months ago

Just curious to know what happens after the trio appointments at Humber ? Are there other classes or appointments to attend ? Or is it just the appointment with Dr. Glazer ?
