I took 8 weeks, I have a job where heavy lifting is required. I also wanted to return when I was on regular food. My dad saw me 3 days after my surgery and said I looked like I had nothing done lol. Take each day as it comes, each day you will feel better. I haven't had any regrets regarding surgery the only regret was not doing it sooner.
Wishing you the very best on your upcoming surgery.
meeting surgeon on wednesday. Hoping too get accepted for surgery. Just wondering from other peoples experiences(and i know everyone is different) How much time should i take off from work before going back to be completely healed?
Good morning. Well I report my successes so I have to report my failure. I did not go to the gym this morning. I was just too stinkin' tired. 
Anyway, what a beautiful day. Sure wish I wasn't at work. I toyed with the idea of taking the day off! But it's just early June so if I start that now it could turn into a really long summer. We are going out to a patio for lunch to enjoy the beautiful day.

Happy Friday gang! Had a great walk last night and I'm anxious to keep adding distance each week. MY BFF and I are heading out tonight but hopefully I can convince her to squeeze a walk in with me. No big plans for the weekend but if it's sunny out I intend of doing some more yard cleanup... spraying etc.

That's a real achievement to hit over 100 lbs lost! That's incredible! Good for you!
I blend my vanilla in a Nutra Ninja with ice, a package of Crystal Lite Tangerine Grapefruit and a drip of LorAnne's Orange flavouring (also have peach and amaretto so will try those next)- blend with ice and cold water and it is palatable (not good but you can get it down! _ I threw up the first two I tried even blended until I added the flavours).
Hi there,
I am going through the program at TWH too. Just had my 2nd appointment - Met with the Nurse.
They are all so great, they listened to all my concerns answered every questions (I had a lot), at the end of each appointment they told me next steps, what to prepare for and both said have given stamp of approval, and what type of surgery they think I am best suited for.
I was advised it's about 1 year to 18 months from referral to surgery date.
Good luck!
selkiem - I'm so glad it helped!!! Someone gave me the tips of adding flavourings to them and it makes a world of difference for me! Thanks for the tip on the Orange flavour. I'll head to Bulk Barn and check it out!!
Good morning :)
Ginnny, taco salad sounds delicious but I literally do not have any of the ingredients... Guess I will settle for pork roast again lol.
Nothing planned for today. I got a referral to a clinic in Toronto and they have a 20 page questionnaire to fill out and send in. I've been working on it for two days and I'm on page 7. So I guess that is on my list for today.
Accountability: two bites of a donut and chicken wings for dinner -- darn you chicken wing craving. They were delicious though.
Post-op four years and three months.
Breakfast - protein shake

Lunch - boiled egg with a bit of a bun
