Good morning everyone. Today I am going to brave the winter hinterland and go swimming. I have to get bloodwork done this morning and then I have a doctor's appointment later in the morning, so I might as well try to get some swimming done.
QOTD: Let's hear your current fav, easy to make dinner. I can always use new ideas. Egg roll in a bowl is my current fav and easy peasy. Bagged coleslaw mix stir fried with ground meat, soy sauce, sesame oil, sriratcha. I add a fried egg on top, and sliced avocado. If I want to get fancy I will add some diced green onion as a garnish.
The eats today at 4 years post-op are:
B. Coffee, coffee, coffee after bloodwork
S. Iced protein coffee after swimming
L. Burrata with tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil
D. Cabbage Roll in a Bowl, a dollop of creme fraiche on top
S. Protein Mocha Latte
Have a great day everyone.

I had the same problem- i eventually found a new style of mask that helped- but my center would not even consider scheduling my surgery until i had been using it ever day for 6 weeks! thankfully now- 5 months after surgery i don't need it any more!

I feel like this has been a weird winter... I'm okay with snow but I could do without the extreme cold. We've been hibernating from the germs anyways ;)
Hey Beth
I wouldn't say you're bad... the operation isn't the be all and end all to our weight loss issues! I betcha there are a lot of us who have regained.... omg... I bet the percentage is very high!! We all have our reasons... myself I went through a lot of big changes the summer of 2017 and the sudden loss of my sister put me over the top... I haven't gained a lot back.. but I need to get back in control.. sooner than later!! So please... you're not bad!!! AND you're doing something about it too!!4
Take care of you

Good afternoon everyone. I'm still sick so taking it easy today. Lots and lots of rest.
QOTD: Are you starting to get the winter blues? I've only been back a few weeks and this freezing rain nonsense has me longing for spring. That varmit better live up to his word and provide an early spring, or there will be a trip to Wiarton to "deal with him".
The eats today at 4 years post op and still sick are:
B. Coffee, coffee, coffee - all decaf
S. Iced protein coffee
L. Egg Roll in a Bowl - homemade (no noodles or rice)
D. Cabbage roll in a Bowl - homemade (no rice)
S. Something warm, low-carb, and comforting to drink before bed.
Have a great day everyone.

You might try contacting the Ontario Bariatric Network and see if they can provide some guidance on who to contact in your province. It is doubtful that you would be covered in Ontario. Good luck.

Thank you Elizabeth! I have allergies and have the sniffles alot. I tried the nose pillows before , I think I tried all the masks they had lol....and this one was the one I did the want but worked best because I would open my mouth and his one cover my nose and mouth. Day 4 today of finally sleeping with it! We are almost there!
I have an AirFit F20 and the reason is because I need to be able to open my mouth and I suffer from environment allergies and sniffling alot. I tried the nose pillows. I'm taking the sleeping pills and today is my fourth day finally sleeping with it. I was so hapoy the first day when I woke up and the mask was still on lol I had fallen asleep once with it and woke up without it lol...I'm finally on the right track thank God. The thought of having my surgery cancelled scared me.
