Omg Daizymom I have never met another person with the same first name as me ! My first name is Teena as well!

LOL- I know - it's a different way to spell it for sure. Funny story - I went to high school with a girl who spells it this way, and not we work together. To top it all off there is one other person that works here that also spells it that way. But other than the 3 of them and now you, I've never seen anyone spell it this way.

I'm planning to take the Go train as well. Where do you live? I'm in Courtice.

I couldn't get it to work in the app I don't think- but on the website- I just clicked your name and then the button in the top right that said Add as friend. :)

Hi there,

I'm in Thunder Bay, ON. I had my orientation/intake appointment at the Bariatric Centre here in December 2014. I had RNY surgery on May 11, 2015 so I'm coming up on my 1 yr anniversary. I'm down 80lbs and about 20 lbs from my goal weight. I've stalled for about 6 wks now, but that is entirely my doing - haven't been as diligent with my diet lately.

I had no complications and I'm much happier since having the surgery. :)

In Kingston (actual surgery will be in Toronto) just finished up my appointments with both the Dietician and Social Worker. Waiting for the pre-surgery class dates now.

Things are moving along rather smoothly since I adjusted my diet and exercise habits prior to attending my first orientation class to show them that I'm motivated.

Glad to hear it's moving smoothly! I transplanted to AB from Ontario.

I'm in Edmonton too. I just met with the surgeon on Apr 28 but don't start my pre-op classes until Sept. I could have gotten into the Aug class but I am away on vacation then.

      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.
