When my Optifast was shipped to me last summer, there was no receipt in the shipping box/packaging. I am just getting prepared to do my taxes and called the TWH clinic to ask about receipts ($300+)  and I have to contact Medical Mart to pursue. Wonderi

I have given away some of my +++ size clothing to neighbours and friends -- but have been driving around with a bag full of stuff since Goodwill closed. Just got a call from these folks who will pick up from your porch:

I went to the TWH support group tonight and was given a very special gift from a fellow patient that I met prior to my August surgery. It is a silver "Loser's bench" with a pale green Swarovski crystal representing the

Went to grab Premier Protein shakes on sale ($25 for 18) the other night. Grabbed some prenatal supplements for myself and some adult diapers for my elderly mother. My friend looked in my cart and said people would conclude that I was having a very BIG

Ready for a chuckle? I made my own dam birthday cake.

Switched over from chewable calcium supplements last week. I referred to the handout from TWH to see what and where to buy and because I am up in Algonquin Highlands until Thanksgiving, Loblaws and Walmart were not an option. I made th

There are a couple of warehouse sales going on for plus size (and regular size) that might be of interest.

I've had a couple of PMs lately from people who are "deactivated" from this site/forum - friendly chit chat asking me to send them personal emails and they will send photos etc. Others have had this too. The dead giveaway for me is the language they us

Dehydration has been a problem for me since my Aug. 12 surgery. Having trouble getting all the fluid in. Has anyone used Hydralyte post op?

Getting ready for puree stage on Fri and have seen recipes that call for sugar free maple syrup. Ohh the horror! this is so un-Canadian! Obsessed about maple syrup - use #3 for most of my cooking. They have a different grading system n

I noticed in our Welcome package that TSH handed out to us that Medic Alert bracelets were on the Check List on page 33. After touring around the web to see what was out there, I noticed a lot of fancy beaded, leather & bright sporting options. I am ar

I have come home this morning from my surgery with Dr. Cyriac at TEGH. No surgical pain/nausea to speak of. I was just uncomfortable. Post op anesthetic? Hmm. I have had laparoscopic surgery before & know the experience.

I noticed my bed

 I live by myself and have asked many times by health care workers -- who is taking me home and who is taking care of me once there. I did call the social worker to ask for clarification about the level of home care needed -- hoping that they don't kic

I did do a search on the site about scales -- but thought I would reach out to Ontario group for fresh feedback. I am shopping for new kitchen and bathroom scales - my kitchen counter and bathroom floor space are small so don't want scales that will ov

Does anyone know where to buy Unjury unflavoured protein powder that is not from their site? I am loathe to pay $18 US shipping for $20 US worth of product. If not -- any other suggestions for unflavoured protein powder -- thought I could add it to my

I have been going for Traditional Chinese Medicine and acupuncture for over 15 years. I expect that my treatments will have to change, especially herbal remedies. Any advice you can pass along? The owner of the clinic I go to was a surgeon - so I do in

Any suggestions on where I can find "Premium Protein" shakes in Toronto? The cost on Amazon.ca is ridiculous -- I'm not a member of Costco, do they carry it in Canada? Very cheap in the US! Trying to get ducks in a row for post-up mid Aug.
