Yoda

Sorry to hear the PB story Green...but it did make me chuckle!! Too bad it happened at the in-laws and with Xmas dinner!!! Figures, eh?!!! Glad they noticed that you looked fab!!!! I'm from a German background as well and yes....Xmas Eve is MUCH more important than Xmas day....Xmas day is merely to recuperate from Xmas Eve!

Loriely: what Cloe said!!!! I must say, I'm VERY impressed! :clap2: :clap2:

Plus, Drs Yau/Joffe were the first surgeons in Canada doing this surgery....so they have a LOT of experience. Not that the others don't have experience....just saying that these two were the first doing it.

Good news; you're on your way Mookie!

Hi JLB...welcome. There are a ton of people on here who have had their surgeries at TLBC with Yau/Joffe...I'd say it is about an equal split between the TLBC and Coburn folks. From my experience I can say that the job TLBC does (pre, during and post) is excellent...second to none. However I also know that the Coburn folks say the same thing.....so if you pick either of the two, you are in excellent hands.

That makes sense Angel Bear! You'll feel better if you don't slime all the time....and don't worry about not losing in 7 days....(& it IS Xmas!). Sometimes I go a week without losing and then I would drop 2 or more lbs the following week....so no worries. Don't stress....be sure to enjoy your holidays! Merry Xmas to everyone!

hehe....sounds like fun Carol!! BTW, we were in Newmarket at the mall last wknd and that store I told you about isn't there anymore!!! They are doing construction on that whole wing......shucks!!! Have a great time in TO; you both deserve the break!

.....but of course Yoda is his favourite!!! LOL. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah, that light sabre is keeeeeeeeeeeeewl. They have it at costco for a good price. Believe it or not I"m having the same trouble with Mr Yoda as you are with your 8 yr old!! HE wants that sabre too (he ain't gettin' it!!). The Darth Vader Mr Potato Head is pretty kewl!

Angel Bear....the sliming is getting worse??? Ahem....hmmmmm, didn't you schedule yourself for a fill in early Jan? AHEM......me thinks you need to reconsider that. Honestly, I know you are losing at least your 1 lb a week....so not sure why you are seriously considering a fill.....especially if you are sliming!! I truly think you are at a good level of restriction right now and shouldn't consider a fill until you aren't losing (despite doing the "right" things)......I mean...it is WORKING well for you right now!!! You certainly do not want to be too tight....that is not the name of the game. Anyways....I digress! LOL. (what's new?!). Yes, I'm ready for Xmas....I just need to wrap Mr Yoda's gifts....not an easy feat since we are inseparable usually!!! I'm just gonna lock him in the basement with his guitar while I sneak away and wrap. Today was my last day at work so I'm very happy and I can really use the break!!! I hope everyone has a TERRIFIC holiday!!!!

I second that motion!!

It'll be difficult Neenagh but I'll try.....seein' as it's YOU and everything!!! (besides, I know you KNOW people!!!).... :nervous WHEEZY: great news about your ma! Glad u can relax a bit now.

:clap2: :clap2: WOW...that is awesome Bandiva!!! Welcome to bandland!!!! Thanks for filling us in. Glad you are doing well....be good to yourself for the next several days!

First of all Gaffer...KUDOS to you for thinking of buying such a wonderful gift for Mrs Gaffer!!! Yowzers!!! I was told to wait about a week or so before having a bath (showers were fine.....just no soaking until the incisions were healed). But to be on the safe side, I recommend you pose your query directly to Dr. C's office. Again....nice one!!!!

No she's not Neenagh!!!!:girl_hug:

Absolutely....just a few drops! Taste and then add more if you want it;....very potent stuff!

That is FABULOUS LORIELY!!!!!! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2: :first: :girl_hug:

Looks at Lila *GREEEEEN with ENVY* :rolleyes Seriously tho....have a BALL!

Gaf: yup, like Irish said!! Go to the baking aisle, dude!!

:biggrin1: :phanvan Fahrenheit Smarenheit!!!! I don't speak Imperial!!!!

....also for the Optifast....if you put in 2/3 or so of the liquid....and mix it up like pudding...(plus the extract(s) of course) and then you can eat it like you would pudding.....then you feel like you are "eating" vice "drinking".

if u have a blender, you don't need a bullet. To make the Optifast taste better...put in flavoured extracts (mix and mingle). The best are: vanilla, lemon, almond, bananna, butterscotch. YUMMMY..... The trick is to mix it well and serve VERY well chilled (lottsa ice).

whoops...Angel Bear....my apologies...I forgot to congratulate you and give you a well deserved WOOT WOOT! on meeting (& surpassing!!!!!) your Xmas goal!!! :first: :first:

That's a great Xmas pressie to yourself DeltaDawn!!! Way to go! :clap2:

Glad u are having an AWESOME time Lila... We'll still be here when you get back.....so no worries....enjoy your beach!

No kidding.....Angel Bear and I live in the same area (smack in the middle of Ontario's "snow belt") and we have noooooo snow right now!! AND, it went up to +10 today. Yesterday, I saw eight different motorcycles on the road....UNHEARD of in these parts past the end of October let alone near the latter part of December!!!! Love it though.....doesn't bother me one iota if we have a green Xmas. I"m trying not to get too complacent though; as I KNOW old man winter will hit us soon enough!!
