Topic: RE: Support group in Sooke or Victoria area
Hi Beth.. absolutely we can be support for each other. I am almost at 10% but it has been tough. I started at 310 and am now 283. ( the fact I told you my weight is amazing to me!!!) Perhaps I am channelling the anger I am feeling into my efforts! hahah.. It is probably easier for me as I am on my own, or is your husband/partner helpful?
My cell is 250-216-4085 and you can call me anytime.
As far as my commitment.. you know, I know I need to do better in the exercise department, but that is hard!! I work full time and by the time I come home, all I want to do is sit on the couch! I get up at 0500. I could try getting up earlier, but well, you know how that is.!! I even have a gym and a swimming pool ( not that I am willing to get into a suit for all the tea in China!!) right in my own building!! Still it is hard
This is a typical day for me:
Breakfast: Greek Yogurt and berries
Coffee Break: Cup of tea with milk and splenda
Lunch: 2 hard boiled eggs with 2 tbsp calorie wise miracle whip
2-3 baby cucumbers... I kind of use the egg mix as a dip!
banana or other fruit
Dinner: chicken/ salad or veg.
I think that keeping track makes it easier for me. I have learned with all the diet plans out there that to be successful, you MUST keep a diary. It keeps you honest.. or more honest! hahaha!!
OK! Hang in there... gotta run I am getting stuff done here today... talk to you soon, Beth! marcy

Yes, still in Kamloops, but heading down to Victoria next weekend. I would love to get together once we get settled. Do you find it hard to keep your commitment up with all the stress in your life? I go in spurts... Today is a good day so far.
I am aiming for 10% of my body weight, but so far I am only at 6%. Still pretty good, I guess, but I would like to lose 10 more pounds before I see him.
Yes, we have dogs. 3 of them! So it wasn't easy to find a place to rent in the Victoria area that takes dogs. But we found a place in Sooke. we are hoping to buy some day, but it will be a ways off.
I am keeping a journal, but that too has been in spurts. I have been getting back on track. I need to focus on my health...
By the way, my name is Beth. Thank you for responding to my post!!

My surgery is booked for Nov 6th.. yahoo! I have been really trying to lose weight. He does like you to lose 10% of your body weight... but the reality is that what he wants to see is you COMMITTING and really trying to lose it.. have you been keeping a diary? I have a smartphone and use fitnesspal, which is an app that allows me to keep track of what I eat, calories etc.. its a great little thing.. I eat 1200 cal/day.
As well, fitnesspal.com is a great site to use. you should check it out. I have been going thru a lot of emotional stuff.. divorce, cheating husband, you know all that kind of stuff..
Sometimes I just want to eat a liter of ice cream for dinner!!! ahhaha..
I dont' belong to any group, but if there is one in town, I can speak to Malik's personal assist ( Sherri) and she would know... the entire office there is great.
I have such confidence in Malik. He is a great surgeon.. he's young and hyper but he seriously cares and is technically an excellent surgeon. ( just to allay any fears you might have!)
Your name is dog lover.. do you have dogs? Would you like to meet for a coffee, tea? I am off work for the next couple of days ( working the weekend) if you might like to chat.. :)

Awesome! When is your surgery? I go see Dr Malik in Sept - 2nd visit. I have lost a bit of weight since I saw him 6 months ago, but I am not sure if it ill be enough for him. I am a little worried about it. Plus, I still struggle with eating emotionally, which is why I need the support. How are you dealing with it all?
Topic: RE: Support group in Sooke or Victoria area
I live in Langford and am scheduled to have surgery with Dr. Malik. I dont' know of a group, but will find out and post back here... let's talk!
Topic: RE: DR. MALIK
I am scheduled to have a VSG with Dr. Malik in Nov 2012. I am posting this in case anyone reads these old posts. Dr. Malik is an excellent surgeon. I know.. I am an OR nurse and work with him, and I have decided to be his patient as well. He does have tough criteria because he wants you to have the best result possible. If you are not interested in doing the work involved, then you best just pay and go to Mexico. You will not have a good result if you are not willing to put in the time and effort.
Samaad Malik is an excellent surgeon. He is young and vibrant and very skilled. He is willing to spend his time and effort on you.. why aren't you willing to do the same?

I have seen Dr.Brown in Abbotsford he is good, and have
an appointment to see Dr. Guichon in Surrey, have heard
alot of good things about him. I heard there is one Dr. in
Richmond that is working with the Richmond Bariactric group.
