I think we'd better hold off on ponies and goats until we find some place a little more rural lol. She does have a very large llama she has been snuggling with.
Afternoon all!
QOTD - I went to my doctor in 2016 because of my weight, requesting to see some kind of dietitian. She told me that it wasn't covered by OHIP but suggested wls. I was so offended. I left so upset thinking that it was so dumb that OHIP would cover surgery but not help me learn to eat better. I sat on it for 2 years while I struggled with diet after diet. Finally went back with my tail between my legs asking for a referral.
I am only 2 months post op so I am still in the spot where I am wondering if I did the right thing. the scale hasn't moved in over 3 weeks and I am freaking out. Also, no dumping or side effects, most ppl might be happy about that but I was counting on it to help me. Time will tell I guess!
Morning foodies,
I thought about hitting Costco tonight but think I'll pass since there really wasn't much interesting on sale this week and I need to do a bit of touch up painting before my moldings go back on. My trainer upped my reps and some of the weights last night so I'm feeling it today!
QOTD: I too went to my nurse practitioner because I was having a terrible time with swelling in one leg,, she did my physical and I was "shocked" by the scale. She asked if I'd ever thought about WLS and I said no (had in the back of my mind that there was NO WAY I was doing surgery), so she just suggested me sitting in on an introduction which is what I did. The education convinced me I needed to consider it as an option and the rest is history. Like Meg and CC, I am so glad I did and wished I would have been more informed several years ago!

QOTD: Pretty much exactly the same as you Meg.
The Little Nugget (aka Thorbellina) needs something better to climb on. A pony?

Good morning :)
We didn't end up going to Costco yesterday. Maybe next week!! :)
Today we are going to pick up a few groceries and I have to go to storage to pick up the box for one of the little nugget's toys that is now too small for her. She tried to climb out of it the other day, so that's the end of that lol.
QOTD: how did you start your wls journey? I went to my family doctor because I was always so tired. He did some tests and referrals, but just before I left he mentioned wls and asked me to do some research and think about it. I left the appointment saying no way. I was never going to have surgery and rearrange my organs. After doing some research and learning more about the long term stats related to weight-loss without surgery I decided to start the process. But I always said I could stop at any point in the process if I changed my mind. I'm so glad I went through with it :) DH mentioned the other day that he doesn't really remember me "bigger" from before surgery.

Good afternoon,
I'm a late poster today but am glad to see a few here today. The more the merrier!
QOTD - Costco is a bit of a drive but I probably go once a month or two. I buy turkey pepperettes, the West End precooked chicken skewers are awesome(refrig dept), rotisserie chicken, yogurt, shrimp, cranberry juice, vitamins, protein powder(Combat cookies & cream), body wash, TP/paper towels, laundry soap and lots of things as they come on sale.
B - yogurt, boiled egg
S - pretzel thins, PB
L - grilled chicken wrapped in lettuce
S - turkey kielbosa, cheese
D - protein shake after gym session
S - shrimp & sauce
I know!! She had grown so much. Google photos made me a video of clips from her first year and it was amazing to see her progress :) and also emotional lol.
It's always a mystery at the end how bad the bill is going to be ;) DH made the mistake of not getting a cart last time lol.
