Wheezy

Well, now I'm getting depressed. I haven't lossed any more weight since the week after my surgery and now my hair is falling out. I told my husband not only am I fat, now I'm going bald:mad: . I thought that I could deal with some hair loss if it meant that I would be thinner Agh!!!!:think

Who would of thought that your head would shrink????!!! 40.75 inches.....that's amazing!!!!

I'll admit it, I'm shy.

Yeah that's what I meant, but I had you guessing. I heard about prairie oysters. Who would ever think, I wonder what cow testicles taste like? I think I will try some...... I had the moose meatballs in a spaghetti sauce. Couldn't tell the difference.

Are you talking about the ones with the German helmet????LOL

Yeah, he said he felt pretty spoiled... he deserves it.

Yoda, you are doing fantastic! Never had caribou but I once had moose balls.

Cloe, glad to hear your fill went well. That is not a lot of food. Tell me were you hungry at all today?

Mandi, What the heck is going on!!!! You won't be able to recognize yourself..... You can do it. WTG, about all of it, weight loss, exercise and quitting smoking. You can do it.

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: 70 lbs WTG Cloe!!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

I actually went there for the consultation. I believe that when I read the info on the web site, the phone consultations were done for out of province clients. I'm almost out of province (live very close to the Quebec border) and would have liked to avoid the drive but I'm glad I met the surgeon and saw the clinic beforehand. I was not impressed by the clinic but was by the surgeon. I think that if the first time I saw the clinic, the day of my surgery, I might have ran the other way. I think that the new clinic building will certainly give a better presentation for the paying customer. I think you know what I mean. Maria actually gave me some of the details of the pre-op diet in the waiting room while there were several people in the waiting room. It's a good thing that I was not from Mississauga because the confidentiality sucked!!!

Your debit or credit card. The consultation fee is $200.00 non refundable. I had to bring a filled out questionnaire, part of the questionnaire was a list of questions you might have. I found that part very useful. I hate leaving the Dr's office only to say, I wish I would have asked this or that. Good luck.

Now this is why I so enjoy reading these post. I actually sit here and laugh out loud. My husband thinks I'm nuts sitting here and laughing all by myself!!!

I imagine that would not be very enjoyable, but it still made me laugh!!

Absolutely!!! You, Cloe, her daughter and anyone else who wants to come. It's so peaceful amongst the mountains and the lakes. You would all love it.

The kids are adorable Neenagh! I have to tell you that the worst Pb I had was with chicken. It was grilled chicken. Since then, I only eat soft chicken, like cooked in a casserole or with some sauce of some kind. Maybe chicken in a slow cooker would be OK. It's such a good choice of low fat protein so don't write it off until you have tried it other ways. Oh Yeah! Chicken wings is also a big NO NO. I had 2 chicken wings last weekend and spent the next 20 minuted pbing in the restaurant rest room. Lots of fun....NOT!!!!

Mandi, Congratulations about the size 16. That's awesome. I also discovered that after a few drinks it's a lot easier to eat. Things go down a lot easier. Actually pre band I used to love wine with meals. Now I can't drink it at all, it gives me instant heartburn. While we were away in Lake Placid we always go to the Cottage Inn. It's a little bar/restaurant on Mirror Lake. Anyway I ordered a Margarita, it tasted so good, I ordered a second one. They free pour their drinks, I watched her make the second one and there was very little mix in the drink. It was almost pure Tequila. After drinking the Margaritas I had the toppings of 3 pieces of pizza and part of the crust of 1 piece. This tell me to stay away from booze.

I'm back from our little get away and we had a great time. Something about the rustic life in the Adirondacks. Lake Placid was very placid, not much going on. Too early for sky season, too late for the fall foliage. I was soooooo peaceful. Plattsburg was good, got a lot of Christmas shopping done. It's my dh's birthday today so I bought him an iPod and new ski jacket. I cooked him his favorite meal, a turkey dinner. I'm taking a couple of more days off work to catch up on housework and I am developing a web page for my husband's new business venture. I've never done it before so it will be a challenge. I've got lots of reading to do. When it's done I'll post the link, you can tell me how I did. I've missed a couple of days so I've got some catching up to do with your posts. I think next time I go away I will bring a laptop with me so that I don't miss anything. I Hate to miss anything!!!

I knew someone who was a test pilot for Bombardier. He worked in Montreal. He used to fly planes in storm clouds and try to get hit by lightning to see what would happen. He would also do things like cut the engine power at 30,000 feet to see what the plane would do. Talk about crazy stuff!!!! He now is a private pilot for John Stohl (owns Tommy Hillfigger) and flies all over the world. He once took my hb and I for a tour of Bombardier in Montreal and let us try a flight simulator. It was so kewl......

Hop in your car and drive 6 hours east. I will pick you up on the 401.

Cloe, send her here. I promise I'll take good care of her. I've got plenty of dust bunnies to trade.

My dh and I are off to Montreal tomorrow to see a football game, then to Plattsburg, NY for shopping and the following day to Lake Placid for some R&R. This crazy lady that I work with has really stressed me out and my hb has been doing his boss's job for the last 8 weeks (his boss found another job in PEI). They offered my hb the job but he turned them down. It's just not worth all the headaches for the extra dollar an hour. In the meantime, we both are in need of some relaxation....away from work.

Thanks for being concerned Green, I will be careful.

Lila, that's what I thought after my first fill. Did the Doc really put it in....or did he just want to see me again....LOL

I couldn't log on to this site for the last 24 hours, I think they must have been having trouble.
