The weather system bringing the snow is supposed to blow thru fairly quickly I think so I'm hoping there won't be a ton of it....

I'm going to be in Vancouver regardless so I will be at Lion's Gate, hopefully it's not too terrible and most of you will be able to make it, altho I completely understand that some of you won't if the weather is bad.

As far as postponing....there really isn't enough time left in Dec. to re-schedule because of Christmas and New Years. The January meeting will go ahead on the 3rd Wednesday (Jan. 21st) as usual.

Take care and be safe !!!

I really REALLY wanted to come to the group tonight but I just couldn't risk driving from VGH area to North Van and then to Burnaby in this snow. So I'm sorry I missed seeing everyone this time. Next month for sure, weather permitting.

I live at the top of Lonsdale and was snowed in. There was no way I could make it either. The hills on both side of us are too steep. I don't know how many made the meeting.

I'm sorry you ladies couldn't make it, but it's completely understandable. There was only 6 of us at the meeitng but we had a lot of laughs and ended up sitting there chatting until almost 9pm !!! I was staying in overnight downtown so it was nice not having to leave and worry about the drive home !!

Hopefully next month the snow doens't interfere with us !!!

Thank you Doddie and I hope your Christmas was a good one !!

The holidays were pretty quiet for me and my family, some were out of the country, others stayed home in Alberta, but those of us that were here enjoyed out time and the peaceful celebration.

I'm not sure exactly how much I'll be on and posting over the next couple of weeks as I have a pretty up-in-the-air schedule right now. Some of you may know I was planning on spending just about all of January in Hawaii, however do to some family medical problems that has been changed. I'm actually travelling with my parents tomorrow to Hawaii (mom is in a wheelchair and I'm her usual home care/support) I'll get them set up over there, get the fridge and cupboards filled, locate and discuss issues with a local Dr. and then fly home probably next Tues or Weds. My hubby will be having surgery probably sometime the following week so I'll be back and forth to North Van with him. I'm going to do my very, very, very best to be at the January meeting and I'm pretty positive that at the very least I will be online to send out the reminder e-mail, and probably before then to read thru the boards and mail.

You all be safe and have a very helathy and happy 2009 !!! See you all soon !!!!

You have a tremendous load on your shoulders right now and seem to be handling it well. Don't worry about the support group, someone will step in and keep it lively. Hope your band doesn't give you any difficulty with all the stress and I also hope your journey is uneventful. Best wishes.

Thank you Doddie and I hope your Christmas was a good one !!

Hi everyone :thumbup:

Well, surprisingly enough I sat down at Mom's laptop last nite and saw this funny little icon thingy and when I investigated it, I found out that this building is wireless !!! So here I am online...

At the moment I am sitting out on the balcony in the sunshine, watching the ocean and debating having a nap in the sun... I know, nasty of me to rub it in since you're all putting up with the rain and snow but believe me, my holiday is short !!! I'll be flying home tomorrow and only just arrived on saturday !!!

Been nice with the good weather, I've been out for an hour walk every morning after I get mom up and organized. For the most part I've been sticking pretty close to healthy foods..lots of fruits etc. Even with the stress I haven't had any major 'stuckages'... Out for dinner last night and had scallops and prawns with salad....tonight Dad is grilling some fish. Anyhow.....

I hope you all are well and I'll post again once I'm home and organized...

      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.
