Going for my third fill on Tuesday. I am choosing to fly to Toronto to have it done. I don't think the sweaty doc has had quite enough practice for me yet. And since I've all ready invested so much money into this "tool" I should maintain it and not jeopordize it(by unskilled doc)

I do slime often and have not been eating properly:phanvan . PB'ed too but I do not think I have enough restriction. Cause when I do eat foods that go down, I can eat lots:speechles . I have been hovering around the same weight which pisses me off LOTS.:angry :angry :angry

So a tightening is due.

I'll tell you you about it Wednesday. Cause it is a 3 day trip for me...

Cold or not I love Toronto !

That's really nice to hear.:eek: It seems so many people don't.:cry I have lived all but 3 years of my life in the heart of the city and I really like it here. It's an easy place to get around in and there is always lots to see and do and eat.:hungry: What I regret, though, is that I know so little about the rest of Canada. I have never seen northern Ontario nor taken the Polar Express, something I have always wanted to do.

Tis never too late Green!

Yep, truth be told, that is what I am assuming. I have been spending a lot of my recent life travelling in third world countries because I figure that there will come a time when my health won't be up to it. Now this is kinda ironic considering the following story: when we pack for travel in a third world country we always take a safety pack of Immodium, Gravol, Aspirin and any other available over the counter remedies even though we find that we often don't need them; however, it was when we went to Halifax for my nephew's wedding this past summer and we had left all this stuff at home that my husband ate a bad oyster and

became as sick as I have ever seen anyone be from exposure to local bad news. The poor dude was running from both ends. As it happened, we were staying in a small cottage on the Atlantic coast and I don't drive. Our usual bunch of travelling meds were back home in our bathroom in Toronto. We shoulda brought 'em with us but, heh, this is Canada, eh! Fortunately the wedding was a family affair and folks ran interference for us. We spent a lot of money buying exactly the same stuff that we had left at home but at least we could buy it. My husband didn't see much of the east coast and he missed out on the wedding and this was sad for all of us.

What was interesting was that there were a number of doctors at the wedding and they all had their own horror stories about food poisoning to contribute. (Other than that they were useful.)

Hah! and LOL! This has turned out to be such a long and rambling post. I guess all I wanted to say is that we never know what surprises we will or will not encounter when we travel, eh.:eek:

      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.
