Happy holidays all :)

First the good news! I had my 6 month appointment recently and am down 98 pounds!

Now the bad news - my iron is terrible! I have a condition called thalassemia which means my red blood cells are too small and don't

I've been falling back into bad habits. It would be easy to say my bf is being an enabler but....

In the last 2 weeks we've been super busy and my BF has gotten Mcdonalds take out several times. I finally broke down and had 4 nuggets one night.

Hi All

I joined the local YMCA with the intent of going to aquafit classes, or cycling classes or maybe even yoga. Problem is I'm kind of scared to go - anyone else experience this?

Long time ago I went to a gym and was in a step class

I have a trip to the states next week to meet up with an amazing group of friends from all over the world (B.C., Chile, Spain, UK, USA) and I desperately needed some clothes that didn't hang off me like a tarp so yesterday we took a trip to Torrid.

I had my 3 month follow up yesterday at TWH with Sharon, who was super nice!

My blood tests came back deficient in Vitamin A and D so I need to take supplements for a while while increasing my fruits and veggies. Not sure how I'm going to do th

Had my follow up endoscopy this morning. I was a little nervous because I've already had 2 strictures and prior to the procedure they seemed pretty confident they were going to have to use the balloon again. 

But good news! Everything looked gr

I hope this qualifies as an NSV!

Saturday we took the kids to the zoo. Before surgery, I had to wear a knee brace when walking around the zoo (we have a membership so we go a lot), had to take a lot of breaks and was always sore that night and

For those of you who have had vomiting issues after surgery, is it unusual to still have food in your pouch 45 minutes - 1 hour after eating?

I ate some chicken with sour cream and vomited it all back up about 45 minutes or so after eating. The

Just got back from having another endoscopy at TWH. Sure enough, my stricture had returned.

My first stricture was opened to 12 cm (I think he said cm anyway, I was kinda loopy after) and this time they opened it to 15. It's only been 13 days s

Today I started with pain  in my pouch, again. Ok let me back up, last night I vomited a few sips of my splash 1/2 hour after eating 1 oz of broiled hamburger and mustard. I thought maybe the meat might have been to dry, but then this morning I woke up
