Omg Daizymom I have never met another person with the same first name as me ! My first name is Teena as well!

LOL- I know - it's a different way to spell it for sure. Funny story - I went to high school with a girl who spells it this way, and not we work together. To top it all off there is one other person that works here that also spells it that way. But other than the 3 of them and now you, I've never seen anyone spell it this way.

I'm planning to take the Go train as well. Where do you live? I'm in Courtice.

I couldn't get it to work in the app I don't think- but on the website- I just clicked your name and then the button in the top right that said Add as friend. :)

Hi there,

I'm in Thunder Bay, ON. I had my orientation/intake appointment at the Bariatric Centre here in December 2014. I had RNY surgery on May 11, 2015 so I'm coming up on my 1 yr anniversary. I'm down 80lbs and about 20 lbs from my goal weight. I've stalled for about 6 wks now, but that is entirely my doing - haven't been as diligent with my diet lately.

I had no complications and I'm much happier since having the surgery. :)

In Kingston (actual surgery will be in Toronto) just finished up my appointments with both the Dietician and Social Worker. Waiting for the pre-surgery class dates now.

Things are moving along rather smoothly since I adjusted my diet and exercise habits prior to attending my first orientation class to show them that I'm motivated.

Glad to hear it's moving smoothly! I transplanted to AB from Ontario.

I'm in Edmonton too. I just met with the surgeon on Apr 28 but don't start my pre-op classes until Sept. I could have gotten into the Aug class but I am away on vacation then.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
