 Hurray!!!!

That is awesome news - that's super quick too!!  Must be quite a shock to get used to...and also to make arrangements, wow!  

Let us know how it goes with the protein shakes - hopefully you find a flavour that you enjoy.  I've sometimes seen the syrups for sale at Winners in their fancy food section, and I picked up some in the States last time I was there.  

I'm always truly happy to see these messages on here, cause I know how happy you must be and also it means that my call is getting closer too!

Cheers,

Elena

Hi Ada,

That's great news... One month to go and we will all be moving over to make room for you.
What a great way to start the new year!!!

I bought my syrup on line the Davinci syrups. But I like Ana's idea better.

Hang in there this month and let us know how your doing.

 So happy for you!!! The next month or so will be tough, but then your life is going to change so much and for the better!  So get ready for happiness because you deserve it!

As for the syrup, I bought mine at Starbucks. In the sugar-free category they have hazelnut, caramel and vanilla. My favorite recipe was half a chocolate envelope, half a vanilla envelope, 4 shots of hazelnut and 4 shots of caramel! Plein de saveurs!!

Good luck on your Optifast diet and remember: this too shall pass!!

Take care,

Ana

Hi everybody,

I'm a strong believer in things happening when you least expect them to...that was the case when I got a call today at work as I was swamped and didn't think for a minute that it was "the call".

But it was!!!!!!! My surgery is booked for January 10, 2012.

24 months after I was placed on the hospital list. What a journey this is becoming, I'm sooooo looking forward to sitting on that losers bench...so move over and please make a little room for me

Now I will be starting on that lovely Optifast next week so can you all remind me of the syrop you put in it to make it taste decent and where to buy it. I know that it's been written here before but wouldn't know where to look.

Thanks a bunch everyone!
Hugs,
Ada

Topic: RE: Any news from Sacre-Coeur??
 Hi Kellie,

Last time I called in late September, I spoke with someone at Sacre-Coeur, and at that time they were calling those who were waiting list since from Feb 2009.  

Personally, I have been waiting since September 2009.  In my consult, I was told the waiting would be 2 years, but it looks more like 2.5 years.  I'm crossing my fingers I'll hear something around March 2012, which have been 30 months for me.  I also heard that they are no longer doing day surgeries at Rockland anymore.

Anyone else hear anything?

Elena

Hi Robyn,

Nope I haven't heard a thing since the last time I called. So it's still a waiting game for me...hopefully soon.

Good to hear that your date is getting close!

Bye for now,
Ada

Great news Anne!

So glad that you're doing well! Get those proteins and liquids in, try exercising a bit  and time will take care of weight loss...You are now a mean weight-losing machine ;-)

Keep us posted!
