Hello all,
I am back - I had my surgery on June 17th at Humber and I am pleased to report, all went well. Recovery has been good and I am back to work today after 6 weeks off.
I find I need to expand the food I am eating and get more creative so I plan on joining a daily menu thread to help find new ideas.
Weight loss seems a bit slow compared to others but I am happy with the progress so far. I lost 13lbs in my first month post op. When I look at other peoples timelines, 13lbs seems a bit low.

GREAT POST!! some need to remember, that WLS is a TOOL.. and not a solution... and after the honeymoon stage or even during when they've hit a stall... they start looking for a "diet" to go on... or they want to fast or just do shakes... isn't this why we had WLS to begin with?? that didn't work!! OUR heads need to make the tool survive... great post!!!

Hello everyone. Last night was another gym night and I can feel my shoulders and legs today so I guess it must be working. Tonight I get a little break with a hair appointment which will be nice.

She can read to DH in a few years and put him to sleep instead of the other way around. :)
Good afternoon :)
The little nugget found her bookshelf so I guess I'm going to be tidying that up later ;) lol. I want to encourage her to look at books because I love reading but DH doesn't.
Today I have an ultrasound -- it's just a checkup so we don't expect to find anything.

Good morning all! Wow, time sure flies in the summer. It's midweek and I haven't even posted. Last night was another workout with my trainer which I'm really enjoying and tonight I go again for an hour with him.
QOTD - Do any of you use supplements other than the vitamins we need to take? Someone suggested collagen powder might help with strengthening my hair so I bought some at Costco the other night and started mixing it in my shakes. Apparently its also good for skin, joints and bone health.
