You all have such interesting lives. I am afraid to say it but I was born in the hospital I work in. The only time I lived away from the city I'm from is when I went to college. I too am impressed with the variety of occupations. My occupation...Charge Technologist of the Biochemistry Lab in the hospital I was born in.....true!!! Although, I would love to be a professional spy

Yeah, that IS cool, Wheezy! I'm amazed when I hear of people who've been friends and still are inseparable since kindergarten!

But yes... being a spy would be cool too. I didn't mention it, Yoda, cause I wasn't sure you'd want everyone knowing... but since you blew your OWN cover.... tell us more!

When I first came to this site a few months back, there was barely anyone on this Canadian thread. I got all my questions answered on the main forum. There were sooooo many wonderful americans there to help me. We can help you here, but sometimes the question is one that you might want more ideas or input. They have a whole lot more people on there threads. I still like to visit and post, but I feel at home here.

You know, some of the "many wonderful americans" are... Canadians living on the American side of the border. I am one of them, born and grown in Quebec City.

Ciao... for now.

Yoda, Did you have to go to spy school? I think when I retire, I would like to do something different. I could be a Private Investigator. My handle could be Wheezy P.I. I knew someone that did that. She was hired by companies, as an assistant or secretary to people they would suspect fraud or various other infractions. It just sounds so cool and dangerous.

Hey Green...you do have an intriguing job!!!!

BTW, Mr. Yoda is also a Red Seal Professional chef.

Oh...ummm Manid...u forgot to mention my occupation of ....professional spy....

I have lived in every province in Canada except Newfoundland, so I can certainly say I've moved around a lot....course it kinda sucked changing schools every 1-2 yrs....but ya get used to it! It made me who I am today!

Cccccrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy!

So, more chefs in the Canadian family! You women are lucky! But look at us, here we are, obsessing about food.;) and:hungry: ,eh.

Yoda, I wanna hear more about the spy gig.

LOL @ Wheezy & Green.

Yes, I went to ACME SPY school. Got all muh skills and talents there during the long and ardurous 3 day semester!!

Yeah, I actually knew someone who was a PI as well (no Tom Selleck though!!). Turns out the stuff he did was pretty boring (stakeouts etc)....mostly to do with insurance fraud.

Well I think an old fat fart (such as myself) would make a terrific P.I. This is because O.F.F.s are invisible to the general public.

hi everyone,

I just got back from my Nova Scotia and PEI vacation. My finally eat whatever I want days are now over. I'm on day three of the pre-op.

I got so stupid drunk one night that I don't think it will be a problem now giving up my diet pepsi.....just looking at it makes me sick because of all the rye i drank..the pepsi ended being added just for a little colour....goodbye alcohol!!!!

Can't wait for my surgery....but worried I didn't book enough time off work for recovery....I didn't want to tell them what I needed time off for....and I'm just going back after vacation.

How long did you guys need for recovering?

Ugh! I had an experience like that with orange crush and vodka when I was in my late teens. I ended up puking all over this creep's shoes while he insisted on kissing me on the nape of my neck. It was partially his fault. He insisted on following me outside when I realised that I had drunk far too much and I needed a breath (or lots) of fresh air. It was the first time I had ever been to a drinking party with boys, etc. I have never, ever drunk orange crush since. And besides, it's empty calories, isn't it?

Your vacation sounds like a dream, by the way. I should see more of Canada before I end up too old to see it.

My surgery is this Thursday. I don't know how long it takes to recover but Dr. Joffe and Nisreen were both very upbeat.

Most Dr.s suggest a week. Depending on what you do, you could probably go sooner.

Welcome back Swanny! Looking forward to hearing your adventures!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
