When I completed the orientation at Humber, I asked how long it would be until we heard back & was told 12 weeks -- if we hadn't heard by then to phone; I phoned at 12 weeks & was given my appointment information over the phone, followed by information in the mail; can't hurt to reach out to them
Love Thai and Indian food, but I have had some pretty hot dishes from our local Indian restaurant. It made my eyes water, but it tasted good.
Your comfy bed is waiting for you, lol.

Your menu looks yummy Ginny. I make Angry Viking's Buffalo chicken salad (or my version) which is rotisserie chicken, Franks Red hot sauce and a packet of dry ranch dressing with some mayo. Sometimes I add celery and have it on cucumber slices.
Way to cru**** at the gym.

Maybe you could have your family doctor touch base with them and get more details. Family doctors need to fill out the request for them to consider you. Maybe you need to go over that form with your family doctor.

During my orientation in Windsor Ontario, normally they would just give you your appointments right after the orientation.I guess each location is different,but it doesn't hurt calling them.
Good morning :)
I can't wait to sleep in my own bed again... There are six adults, four dogs, and one baby here... It's very busy. I don't know what we are doing today but we are picking up dinner tonight to thank my parents for letting us stay here. My dad had knee surgery last week so it isn't easy for him to get out and about yet.
QOTD: I'm a solid medium lol. I prefer a mild or sweet sauce (bad meggles), so I don't usually order wings these days. I like Thai and Indian food when it's more flavorful than hot.
Post-op four years.
Breakfast - nut bar
Snack - hard boiled egg and one piece of toast
Lunch - tbd
Snack - Greek yogurt and banana
Dinner - takeout tbd - there are only two restaurants in this town so we know the restaurant I just don't know what I will order.
Snack - maybe a protein bar depending on bedtime
All water and vits.
So my orientation was January 29th. I'm part of the online support groups for WLS in Ontario and Humber River specifically. I've asked around and I can't find a single person who had a December or January orientation who's gotten an appointment yet.
That being said, it seems that the general consensus for Humber is it takes about 3 months to hear back for appointments.
Even though it's only been two months, would you call the clinic and ask about appointments? (Although I'm pretty sure they will just blow me off when they hear my orientation was end of January).
If so, how often would you call at this point? Once a week? Once every two weeks?
I'm trying to be very proactive as I don't want to fall in between the cracks and get left behind.
Recently, I've seen many people with November orientations still waiting for appointments and then they called and got theirs scheduled right away and I don't want that to happen to me.

Good morning everyone, I was up and at 'em this morning, outta the house a few minutes early which gave me time to cru**** at the gym. I pushed myself just passed 16 kms on the bike, which tipped it over 10 mile mark. Woot Woot!! Felt pretty good for that ..... the other day I stopped at 9 miles because of my time.
QOTD: I'm starting to tolerate more spice lately just depends on what it is. My favourite has become Franks Red Hot with equal parts butter for my chicken wings. When we go "Wing Night" at the legion I just ask for mine naked and take my own bowl of sauce. I look forward to those starting up again in May.
B - deli turkey rolls ups (3), HB egg, 1 old cheese stick
S - skyr and raspberries
L - tomato/cukes salad with greek dressing, piece of chicken from grocery store
S - beef stick and cheese (maybe)
D - either chicken sausages or leftover bacon wrapped meatloaf, haven't decided yet.
Have a good weekend!!
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
The weekend is finally here. The weather is supposed to be nice on Sunday so DH and I might take the convertible out to buy a coffee, lol.
QOTD:
What is your spice level tolerance? I can go hot, but not crazy hot. Love jalapenos, but hate Scotch Bonnets.
The eats today at 4 years 8 months post op are:
B. Rivers of decaf
L. First meal of the day will be leftover bunless burger from last night's dinner. I had wanted wings, but they were breaded so I gave it a miss.
D. Carnitas with guac, sour creme, salsa, hot peppers.
S. Hot cocoa before bed.
No totals because I can't figure out the leftovers
1 hour at the gym today.
Have a great weekend everyone.

A little one room schoolhouse turned into a cafe sounds perfect. Routines are important with little ones, but Thorbellina is such a champ, I know she will adjust.
