Recommended Posts

Darn it my husband is working that weekend so I will not be able to attend as I have kids but hope you all have a great time! Hope to see some of you at the October 6th luncheon in Waterdown.

If you go to the Canadian Lapband site and click on polls you will find all the information there and the contact person for the October 6th Waterdown luncheon. The info is also posted I believe on the SWLC messageboard on the bandsters lunches/dinners. I will also try posting the info here later when I get a chance.

Don't forget anyone can arrange to set up a luncheon or dinner, there is no rule that it has to be a certain person(s). If you can't make a certain bandster meeting and want to plan one feel free to arrange one and then post details - the more variety and flexibility the better! :hungry:

Exactly right Donna, anyone can set up a get together. ie if a bunch of east enders want a regular session together then go for it. The pattern has been to alternate different parts of the city on differend days on different times of the month to ensure that every one gets a chance to attend. Please, if these don't fit your schedule, organize one in a location/time that does. There is a burlington group that does this all the time.

Jurema, I'm doiing alright. I haven't lost a remarkable amount of weight but my skinny clothes are starting to fit and the fat ones look awful. Go figure. I have been hovering at mid 185 to 187 for 2 months now and it is frustrating. I'm not doing any sort of exercise other than Yoga once a week so I'm sure that isn't helping the situation. I hope I see you soon. What fill level are you at? I am at about 5.75 I think.

Forgive me for posting in 2 locations, but I wanted to make sure everyone sees this!!!

Due to our original restaurant being closed for renovations our lunch has been moved to the following restaurant:

Kelseys (Still)

30 Bristol Rd E

Mississauga, Ontario

L4Z 3K8

According to my Map Software, to get to this restaurant you would either exit the 401 at Hurontario street and go south for about 2km to Bristol Rd, or exit the 403 at Hurontario street and go north for about 2 km to Bristol Rd.

I hope this does not inconvenience anyone too much....please pass the word along. The reservation is for noon under Laurie or Band

Thanks for the update Laurie, I will be there. I checked the map, and it looks quite easy to find.

Note to other lunchers: Bristol Rd is Nowhere near Bristol Circle. (maybe I was the only one who thought they'd be connected)

Look forward to seeing less of everyone that I met in July and less of new friends too !!

      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.

        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.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
