Hello menu clan!

It is finally a bit slower at work so I'm able to get caught up on some paperwork which seems never ending most of the year. It's also nice that the roads are clear everyday... I made it to the gym Sunday,Mon and Tues already this week and my scale is finally moving again after a 2 week stall!

You can only buy Opti from a WLS or office. Their are lots of Ontario FB pages with people who have extra Opti. Check them out

Topic: Extra Optifast?

Hi everyone,

it has been a couple of years since I have been on here.
I am approx 5 years post op and started to slide. I want to get back to basics and think it would help me to have a couple Optifast shakes with a light dinner to start getting myself back in track.

Does anyone have any extra Optifast they would like to sell? Or know of where I can buy some? Do you know what the current rate is for one box? (14 pouches)

thanks!

Happy Friday everyone!

I had an early morning dentist appointment this morning.. fun fun. I'm hoping it's just a problem-free Friday at work, then I'll head to the gym for a workout and hydro massage session. The weather is supposed to turn bad tonight so I may just relax at home and do a bit of clothes purging this weekend.

S- shaved turkey

L - chicken & veggie stirfry

Topic: RE: Caramel Premiere Protein On Sale. Thoughts on the taste?

Oh my goodness! I tried it today and I was pleasantly surprised!!! I too am not a caramel girl, but it was very palatable. However, it tasted kind of chemically at the same time. Hard to explain...

I love it. It's my go to. I used to drink the chocolate but can't stand it anymore. It's vanilla or caramel for me and I'm not a caramel girl.

Good morning strangers!

It seems like ages since we've done a menu post even though it was only a few weeks ago. Where did everyone disappear to? The holidays were busy for me so I hope to be posting more often now that everything is back to a normal routine. I hosted our final Christmas on Sunday.

QOTD: What was your favorite Christmas gift this year? Mine was the Fitbit Inspire HR - it reminds me to take walks, I can track my food/calories/water and it gives me reports of activity, sleep, heart rate constantly.

B - greek yogurt

S - boiled egg

L - shaved turkey breast, cheese, grainy mustard roll-up

S - small grapefruit

D - leftover spiral ham, cauliflower, mushroom sausage pinwheel

S - turkey pepperettes (if hungry)

Topic: Caramel Premiere Protein On Sale. Thoughts on the taste?

I bought premiere on sale for $28.99 at Costco yesterday. I picked up a case of Caramel yesterday to try it. I haven't tried it yet. I like the chocolate one but at room temperature. Have you tried it? What did you think? What would you rate it out of ten? Thanks!

Topic: RE: Plastics in Cuba

The fact that they don't respond should give you just cause to double think going out of country. What happens if you have a complication? When I had my TT years ago it was at the 3 yr mark that I had wound problem. What about post op care once home? what about revisions? Do you need to go back to Cuba. My PS is always getting calls for help for people who went out of country. Many surgeons wont touch a patient who had surgery from another. What if you need wound care? Do they have someone who can order home care?

Lots of thing to question and ask about. I use USculpt in Vaughan On. I know if I have any issues they are there for me. Cheaper is not better.
