Topic: Any WLS friendly GPs in BC?

Hey everybody,

I am looking for recommendations for family doctors who are open to WLS, lab work and post op care in the lower mainland.

Thanks so much in advance

Congratulations on your success.

I was tired for probably 8 weeks before I got my energy back. Low calories, stress on your body, and yes, a very physical job - on your feet a lot. It's probably a combination of all of it. I had to work 1/2 days for a bit before I was back up to speed.

You sound like you're doing a good job. I did pretty much what you did. I followed the rules but I also treated myself from time to time. Early on it was hard to treat myself because a lot of foods didn't necessarily sit well. Eventually my treats became eggs, cheese and toast. LOL

Keep doing what you're doing. You're rocking this!

Topic: 2 Months Post Op

I am officially 2 months post op and down 50lbs since starting optifast. I am feeling both a mixtures if feeling great and slightly less great- exhaustion is real! Maybe it's because I work retail management and work 45 plus hours a week on my feet or maybe it's my body adjusting to so much less calories. Maybe it's both. I testing myself to see what i can tolerate- 99% healthy options but everything in moderation right.

Here is the link I used... I found it on Pinterest but I didn't save it. Do you know how many avocado pudding recipes there are on Pinterest??? Lol.

I swapped some maple syrup for Splenda. I also added a scoop of protein powder, but I still kept the cocoa amount as listed (well, approximately... I was holding the little nugget and a bunch of the cocoa ended up on the counter). DH said it tasted like there was banana in it so you could probably sub in some banana for sweetness. I don't think our avocados were ripe enough so it wasn't totally smooth. A blender might have worked better but I'm not sure. It made at least 8 servings... I also saw one with crumbled pistachios on top that looked yummy.

Monica, I've woken up early this week and thought of more things to add to my list. I will be gone a couple of months. People other than me are also adding to my lists. I say get your own lists and leave me to finish mine, lol.

Good morning :)

Nothing much planned for today. Depending on the weather we might go grocery shopping. Yesterday I made some avocado pudding that turned out nicely. I added a scoop of protein powder to improve the stats a bit. It does have some sugar (maple syrup) but I added Splenda as well.

QOTD: I love lists!! I have a running list on my phone that I just keep adding to. I love when I can delete something. Like yesterday I cleaned the fridge. I have been procrastinating on that for a while.

Post-op three years and eight months.

Breakfast 1 - protein bar

Breakfast 2 - peanut butter and Melba toast

Snack - Greek yogurt and blueberries

Lunch - beef stew

Snack - carrots and PB

Dinner - chicken and veg

Snack - avocado pudding

All water and vits.
