What do you use for chicken broth?
I have the rectangular containers of Campbell’s liquid chicken broth but it’s pretty bland.

today I had to use an alternative and used the powders out of a lipto

Yup ... instead of January 13, 2020, they moved it to January 6, 2020.

I am freaking out. I had things in place re. work and daughter's sports, etc. for January 13. I guess I'm excited and scared. I feel that January 6 wasn't fil

So ... I had the gastroscopy done last week and the anaesthesiologist said that I still have a 50/50 chance of having sleep apnea after the weight loss. Ughhh. He said that if I look in my mouth, I will notice that my tongue and my uvula do not have

So, I have done the orientation three times now ... once back in 2014 (quit because I got separated from husband and too much to handle) ... once back in 2017 (quit because I just wasn't ready and the kids were concerned) ... and once April 2019 ... th

So after a long stall and long wait, I received a date a while ago to re-do the orientation in Hamilton. Well now the date is fast approaching in a few weeks. Timeline wise, wondering approximately when the surgery might happen. I'm already on a CPA


Kath L has achieved her goal: Improve my sleep by going to bed by 10:00 pm five days a week 5 years, 1 month ago
I'm going to plan to do things like laundry earlier in the evening so that I'm not still doing things at bed time. Also, I'm not going to start watching a TV show that won't be done by 10.

I started the process about three years ago and had to quit because of stress due to a marriage split.

I'm back on the list and emotionally ready for this journey. My orientation is in Hamilton on July 24. What are rough guesses as

My doctor recommended me on February 14, 2017 and I still have not heard anything from the hospital.

I did start this process once before (3 years ago) and discontinued due to a marriage split. I was initially started in Hamilton a

Hi Everyone:

My three girls are 20, 16 and 9.  My middle one in particular is high anxiety and is so worried about me doing this surgery.  She is completely freaked out and is angry that I want to do this.

 

I ensured her that through this process I

I see a lot of people on here frustrated with the time lines for surgery.  I admit that I am getting anxious at this point because I am sure that this is the route for me to take.

I do have the opinion though that the surgery will happen when i

I was recently transferred from Hamilton to Guelph because Hamilton had a backlog of patients.  My orientation was April 23.  I called today and made an appointment for the nurse for May 11 and for the dietician and social worker for June 8.

I had a call back at the end of March from Hamilton saying they had such a backlog that they would like to transfer me to Guelph.  I agreed and received a letter last week saying I have to do another orientation.  I had my Hamilton one in October 2014.
