I agree.... gotta give Mookie her props

I have to go try out some things like that and find ones I like before I commit to a case! I used to eat the Slimfast Peanut Butter Crunch bars, and they're really good.... wonder how many g's of protein there... Also saw that Shopper's has 30% of their drink mixes and bars like that, so I'm gonna check those out too. And thanks guys !!

p.s. Oh yeah... one thing Dr. C (and Mumford) don't have going is a cool clinic. They're moving into a brand new one soon, I hear.

I know ya do, Yoda! I do too! I wasn't able to audition Dr's like I would have liked to, so I also had to go by word of mouth, and my gut feeling. Dr. C wasn't my initial choice, but I am happy that he turned out to be! Mandi

I stumbled across a recipe for 'Tex-Mex Cheesy chicken Chowder", and it states as one of the ingredients : 1 - 2.64-ounce package country gravy mix This could be something that we just don't have here (Canada), OR, it just might be a totally different name than what we call it. I think it must be a powdered gravy mix, right? But what makes it 'country'? Thanks in advance! Mandi

ahhh... how I'd love to have the guts to go to a pool.

How'd you like 15% HST!!?!?! BAH!

hehe oops, was that out loud?

Is someone planning to wow their parents after their 1 yr bandiversary???

Hey guys! Almost 95lbs gone so far. size 24/26 to a 14/16 I'm lookin' forward to hitting the 100lb lost mark, SOON!

good news, Lila! Let us know how it goes! How far is it to PV? How much of a fill do you have right now? How much did you get last time? So many questions!

yeah, yeah, green... I didn't *really* PB until after my 2nd fill! (5 months - booyah!!)

Hmmm... interesting. Haven't heard of anyone being banded by them, so I can't comment on that. What led you to them? And yeah... we're all self-pay, with the exception of a few lucky Albertans and maybe a lurking NB-er Do you have an appointment for actual surgery, or just a consultation? Mandi

How 'bout $500? Just punched YYZ to YYJ in, and you could go there on Feb 22-27 for a little over $500. (just put those dates in as an example) Even cheaper if you wanted to fly just to Vancouver. I get emails from WestJet (almost everyday) telling me about sales, etc. Go here, http://c1dsp.westjet.com/guest/jetMailInfo.jsp and it should tell you how to sign up for 'JetMail'. (if you want) Try this : http://www.aircanada.com/en/offers/air/websaver_fares/websaver_fares.html?src=hp_wn .... might set you up to see AirCanada's 'webSaver' rates.

thankey :hug: Luckily I was not exposed to the dangers of truffles. I did have some hedgehogs, turtles and ferrero roche's though... and I'm happy that the 3 hundred boxes of chocolates were left behind with my mom!

Awesome, Wheezy and thank YOU :hug:

Nope, I don't feel the drain, but feed away! I'm glad I can inspire you, but you're doing pretty freakin' awesome yourself!

I agree! It's also a good excuse to plan a little trip to TO! Go a little early and do some shopping before your surgery day

Welcome Misspiano! I second, third and fourth everything they said, and I too don't know anything about that clinic. What do you know? Who's the Dr? How many have they done? How much do they charge? Welcome again! Mandi

Yeah, Lila, are you gonna be making (or made) that trip to PV?

Uncooked egg beaters? Hmmm.... interesting. I'm sure it's fine if you can stomach it!! Don't feel too bad about the gym thing. I haven't gone in 2 weeks, and maaaaan, it's hard to get back into it after taking so long off!! I go again tomorrow though. :omg: Good luck!

oh you guys.... Has anyone seen the commercials for the new Special K protein stuff? Protein water!? I just looked it up and the water's supposed to be something like $5 a bottle, for only 5g of protein. But there are protein MEAL bars (like choc. peanut butter) that have 10g of protein (and much cheaper) I'd like to give em a try if we ever get them in canada. Back to work for me tomorrow.... ugg... not looking forward to it. At least it'll be a short week! Have a good week too, guys! Talk to you later :girl_hug:

hehe, Carol, tell us he was behaving badly!

My parents don't/didn't.... you're right!

I don't want to WEIGH 100lbs! But I'm gonna make it to 100lbs LOST! That's my goal. If I did it by the end of the month, which I'm thinking is very attainable, that'll be 100 freakin' pounds in 10 months. So, Mandi is going to weigh 184 pounds OR less, by the end of January!
