Back 2 Work = Back 2 Reality

 Thanks for writing Kristen, I appreciate all the info you just provided. Hopefully with my transfer into the clinic, it will open the flood gates and allow them to start accepting more Post-op patients.  Although, I think we will be their guinea pigs for awhile.... but like you said, its the price to pay for cutting down on the trips to Toronto... maybe we should look at it as paving the way for future WLS patients to come. Lol.  

Yes, I absolutely want the info on the next Sudbury meeting... I really want to attend. Not so much because I need support, but I have support to give aswell. I'd like to meet a few new people too (like you!)  I will message you after and get the details from you.

Now.. since I don't have kids, I have no idea where Lily Creek/James Jerome Sport Complex is...is this in Sudbury or the valley?

Since I am actually in Markstay, I only want to travel as far as Sudbury for these meetings....so if there isn't one that is actually in Sudbury, maybe Hanelli and I can cook something up... not really sure how to go about it as of yet...

Lily Creek is the soccer fields across from Science North.. so it is close to there.  I think I will attend that meeting as well.

I Can understand Line's approach to the support group thing since she is not over weight and this Bariatric clinic is new, that means her experience with it is new. She probably does not understand the effect of being over weight for many years has on a persons self esteem and also how intense of a change we are making. I would cut her some slack for her ignorance. She will learn as time goes on.

Good luck on your transfer!

 Hanneli, we should meet somewhere before the next meeting...then we can find it together!!! (if you are intetested) I'll send you a personal message later with my contact info...

sounds good to me! :)

 Hi Toni,

 My first week back at work after an eight week absence was not straight forward either.  I was trying to get a handle on the status of my responsibilities drinking, taking my vitamins and eating.. It definitely got better as time went by.

Keep checking out that chick in the mirror.  She has some new things to show you!

Awesome that you're back to work.

What's your carb intake like? you need some carbs for your wee little brain to function properly.

 Hey Mon, I just took a look at Myfitnesspal for yesterday and it says I consumed 92g of Carbs for the day... does that sound about right?

probably a bit high, even, in some people's opinons. I try (try) to keep mine down below 80.

You may just have "time off brain" i know everytime i'm off work for a while, it takes me a bit to get back into the swing of things again.

 Thanks for sharing that with me Monica, I will try to do the same!

How many calories are you consuming per day?  If you go by the 40/30/30 rule you'd have to be eating over 1200 calories per day for that amount of carbs.
