    Holly crap!!  You look amazing woman!  You are an incredible inspiration for all of us here.

    68 pounds forever gone, you gotta feel incredible.
      Your family must be so proud of you too.

    Keep up the good work and remember to drink your water.

    I love the group of peoples here too, they are all amazing.  Life long friends.

    Take care,
    I will have to call you soon.

    Hello stranger!!

    I open a Coke zero and put it in the fridge and wait 1 hour and then I can drink it.  I have even added a little bit of water to flatten abit. 

    I can drink 1/2 can in one sitting and then save the rest for after dinner.


    I hope you and Nikki have a great time, wish I could afford to come and visit you!  Maybe next year.

    Topic: RE: They changed my surgeon again
    Hi,

    I was told that it could be anyone doing the surgery, I got my surgeon of choice!  Dr. Andrew

    Dr. Andrew did my surgery with Dr. Vergis(I think he was there).  Both doctors visited me in the hospital and on the last day Dr. Andrew brought in his beautiful daughter.  I thought that was a nice touch, made him seem like a real person and not just a surgeon doing his job.  The whole group of surgeons are great, I have met with Dr. Hardy post-op.  They all do a good job!!  I just wish the office had more than one person working, and more than one dietician.  It takes too long to get call backs and way too long to get appointments post-op(they only work in the clinic on certain days).

    I am glad that my surgery is over, and I look forward to many more friends having theirs!!  I wish that the waiting time was shorter.

    Topic: RE: Fat Issues..... In the head with LOTTO MAX
    So today is Friday and there is a really big LOTTO MAX draw tonight, I (we)my husband and I decided to spend $50 bucks on the chance to win big!

    The funny thing is that neither one of us will sign or put our names on the ticket,!!  If you do win the big prize you have to agree to have your names and PICTURES published!   I am still too fat to hide behind that BIG CHEQUE!    Laugh, hahaha

    Just lets hope that I do win!!

    Michelle

    PS)   Go buy a ticket or a few!!
    Topic: RE: Facebook or Skype
    There is also a Manitoba Weight Loss Support Group that I started for us on Facebook too!  

    I was thinking that we should exchange email address or "real names" and phone numbers.  I could create a list for members.  If you are interested in being added to the list and would like to received a email copy, send me a private message.

    Sometimes I need to talk rather than type to someone!!  Not sure how you feel.

    Topic: RE: Waiting Times for WLS in Manitoba
    I got a question for all those on the list....

    If the program is covered by Manitoba Health, would a phone call to them be of any use? 

    The squeeky wheel gets the grease!!

    Saga?
     
    I think you should go get a Lotto Max for Friday!  You need the 50 million after all you have gone through. 

    I have been on Nexium sincce after surgery.  Yesterday I forgot to get my prescription in the morning and by 6pm I was dying on the couch.  Better today, got the Nexium.

    Sue, my email is barkley2@mts.net, email me so we can exchange telephone numbers.

    Topic: RE: Walking at - 43 windchill........brrrrrrr
    So who wants to go for a walk this morning?............ not me!!

    At -43 with the windchill this morning I don't think so!!

    Too bad that I never finished my work yesterday, now I have to go to work outside again today!!

    I was outside yesterday from 8:30 to 4:30 and let me tell you that being FAT does not keep you warmer!!  The FAT on my ass was still cold at 10pm!!  It retains the cold!

    Good luck today!  I know those peoples on the  "other forums" would not be able to live here!!

    Topic: RE: Post Op Diet question
    Hi Deb,

    In the morning for breakfast I eat Superstore Blue Menu Steel Cut Oats.  She was pleased with that, they are really good too!

    Bread was to empty for me, I needed something to chew for a long time, the steel cut oats made me feel like I was actually eatting more than what was in my bowl.  They are available at the Bulk Barn as well.  Bread was disheartning, looking at one peice.  I still need to trick my brain!

    The other thing that I eat alot of is Chili, made with chickpeas and lots of beans.  You could make it or try a small Wendy's chili. The small makes 2 meals for me, or I can eat in 2 sittings!

    Are you coming on Monday night to the meet and greet?

    Michelle

    Topic: RE: Pennington's SALE FYI
    FYI, Pennington's has 50% off the red sticker price and 25% off the regular price.  The sales are incredible! 

    I got 3 tops(7.50ea), 1 sweatshirt(22.00) and 1 pant(15.00) for $60.00 today!  That is cheaper than the states ladies!!

    You can afford to purchase the clothes a size smaller or even two sizes smaller, cause you know that you will fit into them soon enough.

    Ok ladies, you all have the list nailed down, except one thing!!

    A camera! 

    You must take pictures or have someone take them for you, I sure get a good laugh when looking at my photos from the hospital.  I wish someone(my dear husband)would have videod me on the morphine!!
