Wheezy

Mandi, here is a link with Dr M's picture (He's the one on the right). He's probably mid to late 40's and kinda cute, not really my type though. I like them big and burly. http://www.obesitysurgery.ca Unlike some people around here I don't mind sharing my admirers LOL

Mandi, WTG with your workout. You are going to be so sore but don't discourage if it doesn't hurt it didn't do you any good. Also, remember, muscle weighs more than fat, so as you build muscle you may experience the weight loss slow down but you will lose inches fast!!! I am so proud of you to have made this step towards a healthier life style. You are a role model for the rest of us. :clap2:

Hey Edith, Glad you stopped by to visit. Tell us about you.

I had my first fill 2 weeks ago and found no difference so today I am going for my second fill. Hope this one does the trick.

LOL, Hey Neenagh, WTG for your weight loss. Now I'm really jealous!!! Your luver better give me a good fill tomorrow. I am going to tell him that I can't keep coming to Mississauga just so that he can see me again. Is that too harsh?:unlove:

WTG for joining the gym. Hope you enjoy it. About the contest, I don't know what to say..... Personally, I couldn't accept the money if I won so I wouldn't join the competition. It's not a good situation because part of going to the gym is getting support from the organization and other members, but if you don't participate then you probably won't get that. It is a dilemma to say the least.

I hope this one works and if it doesn't well on goes the saga of Wheezy's Anatomy......

Congratulations Mandi!!!!!!!:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Yeah....Yeah... Cloe, that's it. He wanted to get closer to my heart. Yeah, that's it. Seriously, I don't know why my port is so deep. All I know is that Dr M said it was a good thing (he is always pointing out the positive) but it's not so good when the whole needle is buried and it's still not long enough!!!! Cloe, your are selling yourself short. I see what you weigh from your ticker and you are so wrong about me being smaller than you.

'till next month!!!

Congrats Green on your weight loss!!

I'm so happy about your weight loss. Thanks for the good wishes about my next fill. I never thought that 2 weeks after my first fill I would go back for another. I sure hope to get some results soon. Hey.....aren't we supposed to be picking at each other? What's up with this???

Oh Yeah, but he was thinking it!!!! I'm going back on Thursday, what about you? Na Na a boo boo to you too!!!

Good Luck Green. Let us know.

Yup, still not feeling it!! I'm going for another fill Oct 19th. Dr. M got his way,he will have the chance to see me again!!!! It's just so hard to be irresistible. Life is just so hard. LOL

Mandi, I will be going back to Mississauga. I will do the trek because I still don't want to be the first for the Dr in Ottawa. The Ottawa Dr. was doing his first fills late October. I would rather drive the distance to go see Dr M. I didn't want to say how much trouble he had doing the first fill because, well.... I didn't want to dwell on the negative...but boy did it hurt!!! He had the needle buried as deep as it would go and even so he had to press hard to finally get it. I just don't want to leave it to a beginner. Hope this one takes.

Ketchup chips, that's probably the only chips I didn't enjoy. Thank goodness because they were my kids favorite. Nothing better than Salt and Vinegar chips with cream soda to cure a hangover (in my younger days). Cloe, about the hair loss. I don't know if I told you guys but before I had Lap Band surgery, I went to an info session in the US about gastric bypass surgery. Anyway, at the session, there was this skinny hair stylist who was obviously there because of her large husband. When the question came up about hair loss, she piped up and said that she has had a few clients who have had gastric bypass and while there hair was falling out she would not do any chemical treatment to their hair such as color or perms because such chemical treatments could promote even more hair loss. On an another note, my dh was telling me, I haven't seen it yet, but there is a new hair product being advertised to promote hair growth. It's not one of the ones mentioned previously. Has anyone seen the ads?

Thanks Mandi, that info about e-mails will be useful for a lot of us. Here is my question. How do I post pictures that are not gigantuous? I once attached a photo on this site from windows, my pictures, and it was huge. This reminds me of work, we get a new batch of student every year for their internship. They are young and grew up with computers all their lives. Whenever I have a computer question, I always nab of them first. Sometimes they can be pretty handy. It almost makes up for them being pains in the derrière.

I put red kidney beans in my chili if you would like to substitute those crazy american butter beans lol.

Green, I was banded before you and had 1 fill and I have yet to PB. I occasionally had the golfballing and it is usually at the beginning of the meal. It's a reminder to eat slower. So don't sweat it. It will be OK.

OK Neenagh, put your dukes up!!!:confused: :plane: :phone: :whip: When you getting your fill did he talk about me!!!

Mandi, the pictures are amazing, you look great!

I haven't smoked in 14 years. I am the worst ex-smoker you will every meet. I can't stand being around it anymore, it makes me wheeze. I'll tell you how I quit. I had quit several times but always went back to it for whatever reason I gave myself that day. This one day I was just about to light up a cigarette but before I lit up I took my two inhalers out that I needed if I was to smoke. A light bulb moment as Oprah would put it. I didn't light up and never did again. It's one of the hardest things I've ever done, the hardest obviously is dieting, but I'm so glad I quit. Good luck with your battle it's not an easy one!

So Mandi, you are the go girl when someone needs help. You are so generous with your knowledge. I know that I am speaking for everyone, you are a good friend to us.

It's weird now that sometimes I put my thoughts in writting..... This is PMS for me. What do you think? Am I nuts or what? I think so.
