Hi Shelley

I would love to be an angel to anyone who needs one. Anybody can message me on here or e-mail me at joycejohnston1960@rogers.com

Having this put at the top of the page is a great idea

Hi Monica

That is interesting.......

I am a people watcher as well. I go to Tim's every Wed for coffee with a friend and we like to make fun of and make stories up about the people and why they are there LOL

Yep I'm creepy too LOL

HI there

Here is my advice

Go for follow ups

Go to support groups/coffee meetings if you can, continue on here for support and to give support

Really watch your carbs

Don't eat refined sugar

If your Doc tells you to do something, follow their orders

Try not to let emotions rule you where food is concerned.

Don't drink with your meals

Don't drink pop...............

Good luck with your journey

Hey Karen,

So glad you are doing well. The part about never seeing the plastic surgeon is a little weird .....

Here's to fast healing

Gentle hugs.

Take care

Hi Tracey

We were actually going to check the Delta, we like it there. We stayed two nights in Dec on a special deal.

I will give them a call and check out the Super 8 as well

Thanks

Good morning all

I have to go for an MRI Feb 23 at 7:45 PM at TWH and my BF thought it would be cool to spend the day downtown and stay at a hotel that night since the next day is my birthday

I'm just not sure what hotels are close and have decent rates. If anyone has any ideas let me know.

Have a great day all

Joyce

Hijack

I love reading your posts Ian LOL

Hi there

Sorry to hear about your issues. I think many of us get that way especially this time of year.

Glad you went to your Doctor for help.

Do you go to any support/coffee group meetings. That helps to motivate me

I log my food on myfitnesspal and have friends from OH and FB that keep me motivated

Are you on FB? There are a few groups on there to help you stay motivated

If you are on FB add me joycejohnston1960@rogers.com and I will hook you up with some groups

The support is key I think

Feel better

Hugs

Joyce

Hi there

As already said, surgeons suggest no drinking for 6 months after surgery and then drinking hits us very hard because of the malabsorption. I'm 7 years out and if I drink wine fast..... I can feel it faster than I could prior to surgery.

There is lots documented on people "transferring addictions" once they no longer have food to use to sooth emotions or for "comfort"

Transfer addictions can include drinking, gambling, shopping, exercise

He may need help

Hi

If you get rashes have them documented from now on. Apparently OHIP is getting very sticky about approving pannie's so no telling how long until none are covered. You want to have the best case for yourself when the time comes

Hi there

When you are eating regular food you can eat salad. Just remember to take is slow and it is always protein first.
