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

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
