Hey fellow Canucks,

I just want to say thank you!!! I am so happy that we live up to our Canadian reputation and that we are all peaceful and get along and none of our threads result in the juvenile crap that has occurred in some other threads.

I would expect nothing less from fellow Canadians.

I like LBT....but I LOVE our Canuck thread.

Thank you all for being you and for being true, north, strong and free!

I was thinking that our relatively low numbers (as compared to the U.S.) makes for a cosy chatroom, and yet we have all the resources of the boys and grrls in the big sand box next door. It's kinda like real life, eh?

Actually, Jack, I think you are. I think that you were supposed to be south lower British Columbia. (I'd give you a wink but I opted for the quick reply, eh.)

when my mom was crossing into the US border (couple of years ago) she showed her Canuck passport. Of course, the passport indicated that she was born in NewWestminster British Columbia. The border guard started giving her a tough time...asking her why she was in possession of a Canadian passport if she was born in British Columiba (thinking it was the UK). Oh veeeey!

(not to mention you can be born out of the country and still have a Cdn passport).

When I was a kid, I thought where you were born determined what you looked liked. I called a kid a liar when she told me her father was born in Japan because he didn't look Japanese!

Hi all - I figure since my grandfather is from Canada - and my grandparents on my mom's side were both born in Canada - I might check in and get a feel for what 'silence' and 'playing nice' means lol -- good to know people can get along somewhere in this world of ours - **waves**

Hello Fellow Canadians:

Great to know that civil chat does exist here......and not a lot of time need be wasted reading loads of repetitive crap.

So far, can anyone manage to eat sashimi with full restriction?

Hubby and I haven't had a day off since May and will be spending a few days in Toronto next week....I love sushi and sashimi but not sure if I will be able to manage it.

Sounds like ya got a lot of lucky Canucki in ya. From what part of Canada are your grandparents from? And where do you live?

I am always interested in stories like this because we all came from somewhere and we are always going somewhere. My bro, a doctor, is now living in Virginia and has just become an American citizen. He really misses Canada, though, and plans to retire here. He's already bought a chunk of land on a lake near Ottawa. This is where he is going to build his dream home. Two of his kids live in Canada, one in Halifax, one in Windsor for university reasons (she was living in London, Ont. for years), and the other one lives in Australia.

Hey Woodys: I've read on the other threads that most ppl don't seem to have a problem with sushi. Just give it a try (carefully) & see what happens.

Enjoy your few days off!!! I'm sure you both deserve it!

Are you guys sick and F-in' tired of all the BS 'out there'? OMG

How any one can keep track of all the posts about moderators and banning, and who the moderators should ban, and that the moderators should be banned themselves, and then all the banned people coming back with new identities .... it's beyond me. I just want to gnaw my hands off, after poking my eyes out, to stop myself from looking at any more of it!!

Is it that we're all just so damn nice? Or do we just know what not to say, to not cause sh!t? We're not "not being ourselves", we're just having some freakin' consideration, and politeness!

I'm worried that this might just make Alex (the owner) say "Screw this" and taking down the board altogether, with no warning. I certainly hope not. If that ever happens, we'll make our own board (not a Yahoo group!), and call it Survivors of LBT.

I'm new here but I've been noticing the occasional reference to the bad behaviour that has been going on. What kind of bad behaviour? What are these people doing?:rolleyes: Please put me in the loop.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
