I agree! It's also a good excuse to plan a little trip to TO! Go a little early and do some shopping before your surgery day

Welcome Misspiano! I second, third and fourth everything they said, and I too don't know anything about that clinic. What do you know? Who's the Dr? How many have they done? How much do they charge? Welcome again! Mandi

Yeah, Lila, are you gonna be making (or made) that trip to PV?

Uncooked egg beaters? Hmmm.... interesting. I'm sure it's fine if you can stomach it!! Don't feel too bad about the gym thing. I haven't gone in 2 weeks, and maaaaan, it's hard to get back into it after taking so long off!! I go again tomorrow though. :omg: Good luck!

oh you guys.... Has anyone seen the commercials for the new Special K protein stuff? Protein water!? I just looked it up and the water's supposed to be something like $5 a bottle, for only 5g of protein. But there are protein MEAL bars (like choc. peanut butter) that have 10g of protein (and much cheaper) I'd like to give em a try if we ever get them in canada. Back to work for me tomorrow.... ugg... not looking forward to it. At least it'll be a short week! Have a good week too, guys! Talk to you later :girl_hug:

hehe, Carol, tell us he was behaving badly!

My parents don't/didn't.... you're right!

I don't want to WEIGH 100lbs! But I'm gonna make it to 100lbs LOST! That's my goal. If I did it by the end of the month, which I'm thinking is very attainable, that'll be 100 freakin' pounds in 10 months. So, Mandi is going to weigh 184 pounds OR less, by the end of January!

Happy New Year, guys! Hope everyone is recovering well from last night! :party:

I don't think there are any private clinics in AB, but I'm sure there's someone else doing it in BC. Dr. Leung? Isn't that right? I'll let someone else answer that!

Bridget Bardot too.

What!? I've always been told (and heard) to get at least 60 grams a day in!

yuck

interesting... I don't think I've ever had dim sum either. Anything like 'potstickers"? Mmmm... Cloe, as much as I love Chinese food too, my experience doesn't go much further than beef/brocoli, chow mein, fried rice, s/s chicken balls, almond guy ding (?) hehe Tell me people... what does "chow mein" mean to you? (sounds philosophical, doesn't it?) Does this include some kind of meat and vegetable in a sauce, on top of some fat (sometimes skinny) noodles? Or meat/veg/sauce on top of some bean sprout concoction? I wonder, because up until I moved to NB, I only had it 1 of those 2 ways, and had no idea the other existed (and I hate it!!) And in NB, the new way seems to be the ONLY way! Just wondering what you guys get if you order chow mein.

hmmmm.... perhaps :heh:

Oh no... I was hoping January would slip by without us having to do goals!!! haha. I don't know yet what I'm at right now. I will weigh myself sunday morning, I think. I'm thinking that my next goal should definitely be to get to the 100lb mark!!! (but we'll see.. I'll let ya know sunday) (neegnagh... I see you over there at 194!! :heh: )

No comment... I dunno. I contemplate fills now and then. As much as some days I think a fill would definitely benefit me, then the next day comes, and I have problems with EVERYthing I eat. Way too fickle!!! Look at me... I've been milkin' the same fill since August! It's good, and lucky for me, I suppose. I'm not complaining either... I'll take it. I will truly wait until I don't lose for at least 3 weeks in a row, make sure I'm doing things the way I should be, then see about making the trek to NS for one!

Welcome Ahubar! I'm sure you're gonna be fine, and didn't screw anything up. Just don't do it again! You must have gotten a sheet from the clinic saying what kind of things to eat? And yeah, like Cloe said, eat til you're satisfied! You'll know when to stop.

Hmmmm... NSV's for me: - all the 'you look great's this week have been awesome - I'm wearing a green, zip-up hoody that I bought when I was 15 (didn't wear for long, but I kept because I liked it and always wanted to fit it again) - no longer in the 2_ sizes! - I've grabbed a little wall mirror in our bathroom to check out my ass, more than a couple times! - that 'fat hunch' on the back of my neck that I was happy to see disappearing last time I posted here is gone! - I hear 'you're to bone-y" from Dan alot... and I feel them alot. - sit-ups on the floor are very painful, so I have to fold the mat into so my tail bone doesn't dig into the floor. (ie: less butt, closer to floor!) - for the first time since we've been together (almost 4 years), I let him pick me up, and now he does it all the time. And I'm not worried about hurting him. When he used to do it before, I'd do what 5 yr olds do, go all limp, so he couldn't grab me! - I had a picture taken of myself, and actually gave it to other people... almost like I was ok with how I looked!! - I caught myself RUNNING down the hallway of my apartment when I realized I forgot my laundry in the dryer for longer than its supposed to be :omg: - I've been tempted to run on the treadmill at the gym. I turned the speed up a few times, did a little trot. (decided I look too dumb running, and stopped pretty quick) I'm sure I've got more. Will add later !

Congrats green! I've been wanting to resurrect this one too! What does thick waisted mean? Aren't we all?

Yoda, awesome story about the in-laws! And I ditto what Cloe said, ONE choc. almond?! I just ate 3 ferrero rocher's! I think my mom got one of every kind of chocolates there are this year. It IS better than last year though, cause I WOULD have eaten the whole box. Oh yeah, congrats about the boobs :bananapartyhat:

Congrats! Just think, soon Addition-Elle will be a thing of the past and/or you'll get dirty looks when you walk in! ha!

Oh yeah, same... seatbelt was not a problem. It sits alot lower than your incisions will be. They'll give you sh!t if you don't have a pillow with you to put under your seatbelt when you leave the clinic, so have that on the plane, just in case you're uncomfortable. (it's nice just to have something pressed against your belly anyways, in case you're feeling like your guts might fall out.)

Nice meal, mookie! Mmmmm... the Keg. I wasn't so lucky. If I ever go again, I think I'll be eating of the BF's plate :bananapartyhat: I loooooove their caesar salad, and those big dinner buns they give you, with the little cup of real butter... mmm... I tried many times to get Dan to go find out if they'd just let us go in and eat those. Same with Red Lobster... I'm not the biggest fan (I'd be lynched for even saying that in NB!), but those cheese buns you get before you meal... my fav. Think they could make a Keg steak dinner flavour spray?

Thanks guys! So... I went out last night for the big Boxing Day bar night. I was boooooring! 99% of the people were 19 yr olds that I've never seen. Oddly enough, the people I did recognize, and said hi to in passing, seriously seemed to not have a freakin' clue who they were lookin' at. Or maybe they just really weren't that enthused to see me again, who knows! Apparently I look much younger, which is nice. I've heard that alot of people who lose alot of weight, and I'm glad I'm one of 'em. Casually inquired to one of the 'who the hell are you!?"'s about where the ex was this Christmas, and I guess he's living and still in Regina this year. OH WELL! Just more of a chance for me to be supa-smokin' when he does see me. (Along with all the other jerks I didn't get to see this time.)
