I am in Edmonton, my builder is Pacesetter. I understand the whole labor shortage in Alberta and I guess I somewhat anticipated problems but it is nevertheless frustrating. I have to say I am happy with the overall work in the home I just wish it was finished!

Becca...I have a very short stop in Edmonton to change planes on my was to Victoria on 18 Apr...I'll be sure to wave at ya!

Mandi: how long do they expect it to take? Who knows with these guys!!! THey were here all day yesterday and they were here this morning for a few hours...they are supposed to come back again tomorrow and then do the whole rip up the floor thing next week. Hopefully it will all be done before I go to BC as I do NOT want Mr Yoda taking any time off work for this...(the whole reason he isn't coming with me is because he can't spare the time off work).

Hi everyone, we are back from our trip and all is well.

The room was small and rather old, the restaurants there were rather crappy and the pool was rather chilly. All that adds up to we would have rather stayed in a better place but cost and location was the deciding factor.

The play, We Will Rock You, was… how should I put this?

It was…

Fun! :lol:

Moving! :dance:

Funny! :)

Outstanding! :high5:

Fantastic! :clap2:

An incredible experience that if you like :hail: Queen in any way shape or form, GO SEE IT! There were numerous Canadian references that were hilarious! The names of the Bohemians brought tears to our collective eyes. Their salute to fallen musical heroes was quite moving. The actors were amazing. Overall it made up for the hotels shortcomings and the cold crappy weather to make the trip worth every penny spent. We would go again if the opportunity arose. A must see. And you all have currently until September to enjoy the performance.

As for the other part of our trip…

The consult went well and they had an opening for the 5th of May. So in a little less than a month I will be joining the Banded side. Took about an hour and a half between the consult and the talk with the head nurse. I have a 10-day pre-op diet (the first test to see if I am worthy to join the Banded Brethren). I know all will go well and the band will work with me, but there is always that tiny voice of dread and disaster that I can’t shut off. So I am a combination of nervous and excited, calm and terrified, with a dash of glad and relieved.

Sorry about the sucky hotel. Where did you stay?

Great news about May 5th Cinque de mayo (sp?). and 3 days after me. Did you also get the yogurt and cottage cheese diet? Do you have to go to the preop seminar? Where do you and the mrs. live?

Glad you loved the show.

Susan

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
