Good morning Menu Peeps. This morning I'm going swimming, then errands and calls, and this afternoon I get my boobs squashed. Yup mammogram time. It's important so get 'er done.
Accountability: Really good.
Question of the Day: Do you go into panic mode when the holidays are approaching? Do you try to create the perfect Norman Rockwell picture? Or do you just wing it and hope for the best? This year will be the first Christmas I will spend with Dad in over 20 years. I am starting to be in panic mode because I know that we won't have a lot more of these together and I want it special for him. My husband will join us over the Christmas to New Year Week. Every turkey I have ever made is an abysmal failure. My DH and I have our own Christmas tradition where we stay in our PJ's all day, eat appetizers throughout the day, stagger the gift opening, and watch movies like Sean of the Dead and Hot Fuzz. Usually we have a cozy fire. That won't be the case this year.
The eats today at 4 years post-op are:
B. A few cups of herbal tea. Thought I'd switch it up. They are Christmas teas so we will see how that works.
B2. After swimming, 2 oz of grilled maple BBQ salmon (leftover) with half of an avocado, poached egg and a dollop of Hollandaise.
S. Turmeric Latte (store bought) Tying to see if it will help my leg.
L. Spring mix salad with toasted pecans, Brie, blueberries, WF Honey/Dijon dressing
D. Spicy sausage stuffed mini peppers baked in Marinara with melted mozzarella on top.
All water and vitamins.
Have a great day everyone.

Not really sure what Medicards interest rates are and how the interest rate is calculated. I'm sure if you googled you could get an idea......
As for me in 2014, I had a OHIP covered panniculectomy,muscle repair( due to a large hernia) and a bilateral breast reduction. I only paid out of pocket for my liposuction. I don't know how hospitals price out the extra charges for upgrades. Also, ask your Family Dr. for a referral this way you don't have to pay for your consultation.

I did three weeks, and lost 30lbs (also started at 363lbs), I think the first 15lbs were during the first week.

Hey, slightly off topic, but how much weight did you lose during your slim time fast? I know Slim time is more calories than opti, so wonder if it makes difference or not (since both are under 1000 cals a day).

What are Medicard's interest rates? I'm assume it would be based on your credit score. I'm sure someone with a 750 credit score is paying less than someone with a 680.
What surgeries did you get covered? Also, if you get a surgery covered by OHIP (say a panni) and you play to get other surgeries paid for out of pocket, can the anesthesia (which I assume will be more since you'll out of it longer due to having other procedures) and other fees covered by OHIP?

Hey Jess,
I just had my surgeon appointment on November 7 in Hamilton and right after my appointment I was instructed to go to the booking desk because I had no more tests to complete. When I went there she gave me all my pre-op stuff and told me she would call me with my surgery date in about a month. She said she's looking at surgery end of December, beginning of January.
Hope this helps, and good luck on your journey!
