Hi Everyone! So I have someone very special in my life who is booked for Gastric Bypass. I would love some suggestions that I could give her for Christmas that would be related to this and help her in the journey.
Thanks !!

Good morning foodies,
Today is a pretty standard day at the office and then a session at the gym tonight with my trainer. For any of you seeing flurries today, drive safely! The first week of snow always seems to throw drivers off.
B - protein shake
S - greek yogurt
L - chicken skewers, hot broth
S - shaved turkey breast
D - leftover ribs, squash
S - turkey pepperette, babybel

Congrats!
And, those meals sound delicious.
It's nice to see a success story!

I was just at an appointment this morning in Hamilton, Ontario and the social worker gave me a sheet that says $64.00 per week and expect to be on it for 2-4 weeks and it's not covered by drug benefit plans.
Hope this helps.

Brrrrr and good morning all,
Well it looks like winter is on its way whether we are ready or not. It's just a normal workday but I have lots of little jobs to finish up so time should fly and make for a short day. My first block of personal training sessions at the gym expired last week so since I'm really enjoying it and also seeing nice progress, I signed up for another year but at only 2 per week which means I will just do 2-3 on my own.
QOTD: What do you have planned for this winter or even the next year if you have it planned in advance?
B - SF zucchini bread, shaved turkey breast - (yes separately although it still sounds like something Meg should post mid pregnancy as a weird craving)
S - greek yogurt
L - turkey cheese griller, small salad
S - apple, cheese string
D - chicken breast, broccoli
S - SF iced capp, possibly half banana if hungry
Is everybody hibernating? Wakey wakey
