Hi! I'm Lisa. Had my banding at TLBC -Dr. Yau- on July 5th, 2007. I'm 55 yr. old . Doing okay on clear fluids and soon will start full fluids. I have about 100 lbs. to lose. Like "Green" , I live really close to TLBC, so, no regrets about the choice to go there. Other than worrying about gaining back weight already lost on the pre- and post-oop diet, I'm so far feeling strong- although that is probably much easier before you actually have to start eating solid, real food.

So, hello to all Toronto, Ontario, and elsewhere banders!!

By the way, I couldn't find the date and location of the Mississauga get-to-gether. I'd like to go ( and eat soup!).

Welcome Lisa, Congratulations.

I was banded the day after you at TLBC so I am just 1 small step behind you.

Welcome home Lisa! I live downtown so TLBC was a natural choice for me as well. Do you work? When do you go back?

Hello Lisa and welcome to bandworld! I was also banded at TLBC and don't live too far from there. It sure was a great choice!

Hi,Vince, Susan and Marcar(?) :

Thanks for the warm welcome! Vince, I think I may have met you in the pre-op nutrition meeting. If I'm right, you were a riot!

Susan, I was going to go back to work on Tuesday (Day 5) but just didn't have the energy, and was still pretty sore, so I decided to take a full week off, and will return on Monday. On the other hand, lots of paperwork to do at home.

Is anyone going to the lunch in Mississauga? Where and when is it??

Vince:

So, how are you doing? Did you have to stay overnight ? How are you doing on clear fluids (mmmmm)?

Hi Lisa:

Where did you see the lunch posted?

I am doing well thanks. I started full fluids today. Soup never tasted so good. How are you doing Lisa? Yes I had to stay overnight but pretty much slept right through, didn't get to stay in the nice room though but didn't matter as I was just sleeping.

Hi Lisa

Welcome to the world of the Banded!! It is a very good place. -=winks=-

I hope that you are doing well and better everyday.

LOL I have a rekindled love for soup since being banded May 30th. One of my favorites is, no wait it is my favorite!! lol Tomatoe Basil soup. It is at Safeway in where all the fresh Soups are. Ohhhhh it is soooooo good! I look forward to fill days so I can have it!!

Have a great day!

Hi,Marcar:

Take a look at Donna D's posting " July Luncheon". I live in the Bloor?Spadina area, If anyone needs a lift .

Vince: I don't remember a thing about the room either. The nurse was young, but okay. I'm starting full fluids today- had a medgenics Protein drink this morning (yuch) but am so looking forward to soup-NO MORE BROTH!!

See you at the July Luncheon??

I am not far and would love a lift! I live at Spadina & Queens Quay. I can come up to your area to meet you.
