Hi everyone,
Derek, It is absolutely fine to take a diet break and have some good time from time to time, it is was will prevent you from quiting on the long road. The gain that you are experiencing might just be due to water retention. It will disappear like nothing.
Cindy, I am glad to see that it goes down. You will see this 229 soon.
As for me, I spent time in Winnipeg again over the last week. It does make it a bit more difficult. Anyway, I did lost 1.5 lbs last week. I am in the 230 and it does make me feel good.
Have a great week and keep up the good work!!!

Topic: Is DS covered in Quebec?
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if someone could help me out here. I'm trying to determine whether Quebec covers not just the RNY but also the DS surgery as a first WLS? I'm interested in putting together a case for it's coverage in Ontario and am looking for info from other provinces. You can post info here or private msg me.
Thank you!

Hello,
I'm down just over a pound this week. Still not getting past the 230 lbs mark. But slow is ok too.
I will be home for the next couple of weeks since I'm havign kidney stones removed. OUCH
And I will have lots of problems moving around with the tube they put in so no exercise for me. Hopefully boredom won't lead me to munch too much. I have to be careful of that.
Derek - Glad to here you had a good time at the cottage and some nice weather. Don't be too hard on yourself, it's hard to stay on track out of your regular routine. You'll get back down to your 100 lbs lost in no time. And your under 300 goal is within reach. Your doing a great job.
Have a good week all.

Hi Ana,
Good luck with your surgery on Thursday! As for me, they didn't weigh me. Maybe it was because I weighed more than 400 pounds but I never saw the scale. They did ask me my weight though. I know you won't be turned down. You can do it and this is for you! They wouldn't have approved you in the first place if they didn't think you were a candidate! You can do it girl. I'm moving over now... lots of room left for others too.

Hi Ana,
First congrats on doing so well on the liquid diet. I had never heard that tip before with the listerine strips. Good one Monica.
Yes they took my weight but it was not done by Martine or her team. It was the nurse that takes care of all the different day surgeries. I assume it was for anesthesia.
I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hey guys,
I'm back from the cottage and red as a lobster! LOL We had about 5 days of nice weather and 4 days of rain so my body took a bit of a beating yesterday from the sun and I will suffer for the next couple of days too but it was totally worth it. On the food front, the cottage lifestyle is a hard one for a post-op. It was tough to keep the good habits going while at the cottage but I gave it the best I could. I had gotten ready a bunch of vegetables and greek yogourt dip for my snacks and had a bunch of fruits for my yogourts but the chips and candies took over. I really found it hard to make the healthier choices over my week but at least my restriction helped me keep my guantities in check. I also drank some alcohol so that might have thrown me off. Anyways, this week I weighed-in a little heavier than I did before leaving the cottage but I am still down 3 pounds since the weigh-in 2 weeks ago so I have to get back on track here. I had hit the 100 pounds lost before leaving for the cottage but I now have 0.8 pounds to go before hitting it again. I wanted to lose it before going to the cottage, which I did, so I consider it hitting my goal. Now my next goal is to be under 300 by Friday. I don't think I will do it but I will give it everything I got this week food and gym wise!
Have a great week everyone!

Hi Ana,
They have weigh me the morning of my surgery but it was for the anesthesy and not to see if I would still qualify.
Just be happy about the weight you have already loss, you already qualified and for myself, I never heard of anyone who was disqualified because they lost some weight.
