My revenge on the killer egg - Crack one egg in a mug and beat it with a big tablespoon of Greek yogurt and salt and pepper. Nuke it for a couple of minutes (stirring mid-way) and then strain off the liquid (wh...

OSA people, I just don't know - Those of you who use CPAP, I have a question for you.  I've been doing great on my machine for well over year now.  But over the past couple of weeks, I've been getting up with ...

Three week check up - So, all the way to TO yesterday for a 4 minute follow-up with Dr Hagen (busy or what?) and I've lost 12 pounds since surgery three and a half weeks ago. Should I be disappointed i...

Hot Bran Buds - Finding the right breakfast food has been hard for me. Cream of wheat leaves me bloated and I hate cooking it. Yogurt is alright, but I prefer it for snack. Cottage cheese is be...

I think I had an NSV, and it's almost too silly fo - (This is the second time I  try to post this, sorry for the possible repeats.  The  writing on this one is better anyhow.) Yesterday I got dressed to do a few hours of subbi...

I think I had an NSV, and it's almost too silly fo - Okay, so yesterday, I got dressed to do a few hours in my husband's office (his assistant is writing exams, so I said I'd pop in, no biggie) and I put on a dress I hadn't worn s...

The Return of the Killer Egg - You guys warned me. I did it anyhow. I really wanted scrambled egg this morning and I ate half, maybe, and now: beurk. Three hours later I'm still waiting for that puppy to he...

Heading home - My surgery was a week tomorrow and I head home tomorrow after being holed up here in a hotel since Friday. Everything is well and unremarkable and I feel surprisingly well. I'd...

I'm on the bench - Surgery was this morning and all went well. I popped a couple of steritabs earlier but got fixed up pronto. Now if I could just sleep.

Things I can't wait for - You guys know Wednesday is my day. I'm sitting here having one of mylast shakes and I was thinking that I JUST CAN'T WAIT not to be covered in OPTI DUST. All the time. I never fi...

Wednesday's my turn - It's my turn on the bench Wednesday at HRRH. Anyone else hanging around then? I can't believe they opened up an OR just for me!

Scheduling stuff - Okay, here's the question:  if I have surgery first thing on a Wednesday, is it fair to assume, all things having gone well and such, that I'll be discharged on the Friday?  I n...

Planning for the hospital - I'll be hanging around TO for five days after surgery. What should I being with me, food-wise for that time i.e. broth, protein powder, cream of wheat...

Vegetabls on Opti - HRRH - I've read the instructions to go with my Opti three times and I must be a little slow this morning.  When the instructions say 2 cups of the allowed veggies a day, they mean a T...

Opti Challenge No. 1 - You know, I start four weeks of Opti in five days.  Not that I’m counting.  But that very day, Wednesday, is the end of the year picnic for my son’s school.  Yay me....

Anyone else July 24 @ HRRH? - I know this is way down the road, but that's my date. I need to do 4 weeks of Opti first so that's why we're planning ahead.

Darth Mummy has a date - Got my date today. July 24. Here I come! Four weeks of Opti first. A little exciting! Just a little.

Regarding going home - I live about three hours away from HRRH. When I'm discharged, I'm planning on coming straight home. Does that sound sane or should I plan on an extra day in Toronto?

I'm new too - I'm new here too. I've made it through all the testing and am awaiting my consult date the surgeon In Toronto. I'm trying to eat better in the meantime and tryung getting some ex...
