I thought I would be bold and just start my own thread to ask all the questions I have and to talk about my journey to skinny.:clap2:

I was l.ooking at the brochure the clinic sent me and it said I need Isopure or Isopro for the first week after surgery. Where do you buy that?

Thanks for all the warm welcomes everyone!!!

I guess for me my success to date has come from just really being in the right space mentally to have the surgery. Also my dear great guy (married 16 years!!) is supportive in just the right way- never says what I shouldn't eat and stuff like that, but always praises me and makes me feel like the tough days are worth it. And... they are!

I am so glad to have found this space here!!!!

Hey, Welcome DeltaDawn!!! I'm glad you found us, too. Your weight loss has been amazing, excellent work!!

DeltaDawn: I know exactly what you are talking about. My DH has been my number one supporter and fan in everything I have done.....whether I have succeeded or not. He is genuine and sincere with his comments. When I fail he helps to guide me back to where I'm suppose to be.

He never commented, belittled, criticized nor made me feel embarassed or ashamed when I was at my heaviest. If I got down on myself he would remind me what I want and that I know how to get it....and then would encourage me by offering his help.

The fact that I have someone like this in my corner sure does make this journey a whole lot tolerable and manageble for me.

Oh man do I hear ya there. I thank my lucky stars every second (okay, maybe only twice a day....when I go to bed and when I awake) that I have Mr Yoda.

My dear husband was very supported too. Now we have more in common.He was banded in Aug.

Happy ?? Friday the 13th wishing you all a great day.

We are in a winter blizzard here. The school buses cancelled:faint: It's winter:angry boo hoo. Must fo to Mexico NOW I can't believe I live here cause I ( and I don't use this word often) HATE WINTER.

Lial,

I've got to ask... where do you live? I am in the Arctic region of Northern Quebec... you know Inuit village, fly in communities, ski-doo to the store... and we have no snow yet!!!! It is going up to 10 today!!!!!

(BTW- I used to hate winter too when I lived in Southern Ontario... I have just gotten used to it by now!!!!! - okay maybe I am lying)

Buffalo was hard hit last night with a blizzard; there has been power outages and now there are school closures. As usual, Toronto has escaped the weather. We seem to live, largely snow-free, inside a snow belt. They say that all that concrete has created a mini-climate here.

Amazing... sorry Buffalo!!

I live between Winnipeg and Thunder Bay. It's winter here. The snowplows and the graders are all out in full force.

I live along Hwy #1 and although we are not that much further north than Winnipeg we are considered north! The hwys are closed by Kenora due to an accident with 3 transport trucks. Oh ya the only reason I "accept" winter is because snow is how my husband makes a living and keeps in the lifestyle that I am accustomed to!!

BUMPING!!!!

Don't want Lila to forget to post in her lounge!!

:bump2:

Lila, are you in Mexico? How are ya doing? Tell us about it, make us envious. Better yet invite us!!!!

I don't blame her for being scarce....hmmmmm type on computer or lie on beach with the surf and sand at my feet and an umbrellay drink in my hand????

ummmm......the latter!!!

You gooooo Lila!!!!

Yeah, I'd rather be on the beach in the glorious sun rather than hanging out with the "snow" bums. Our snow didn't last long - enough to get into the spirit for some shopping and then warmed up to lose it (I don't know how I feel about a green Christmas.) I'm aching to build a real snowman.

(Yeah, snowmen are my fetis! Love them to death)

Have a great Christmas everyone! Hugs.

OK you guys found me. I am in Mexico!!!!

I got a fill on Dec 5th in TO and left for Mexcio a few days later. I have been having trouble getting on the internet at the wireless cafe, its like....dial up. Sorry Cloe! I kept getting bumped off, it was way too frustrating and never got on here again.

All is well in my world!! All though I am too tight and have not been able to enjoy any of my favorite dishes. Very sad, Don´t you all feel sorry for me?? Don´t answer that!!

I didn´t bring my scale but I am hoping that I have lost some weight.

Well, I´ll try to keep in touch but hey the beach is calling me. Do you hear it ??
