Kim, if you get this message in time, I'm at the Vic for a Craving Change workshop this afternoon if you'd like a visit? I don't know your last name. If you can get a message to me I'll check the front desk around 1 PM. Just leave it for Mike L. attending the Craving Change workshop.
The workshop is in the dining room if your mobile. Should end between 3 PM and 3:30 PM.
Kids are back in school.... I'm planning on making it to the meet and greet ( even if I have to bring the kidlet - she would love the library where she can read and play on the net and then come and grab a snack with us lol)
I'm still hovering at 195 -100 lbs down. I just can't get motivated to lose this next 20 lbs to get into the healthy bmi .... My hemoglobin and platelets and vitamin d and thyroid are low, all making me tired and unmotivated.
I had my necrotic lymph node in my neck removed in Aug and just got the results back. Thyroid cancer metastasized into my lymph nodes so I need more surgery. I have to get all the nodes on the right side removed and the little bit of my thyroid tissue left ( most of it was removed in 2006 ) I'm waiting for an ultrasound and then the surgery date. Going to have a big ass neck scar ( they are connecting my two scars that I have right now) Then some radioactive iodine.
I'm really looking forward to the meet and greet ......

I hope you get out of that hospital soon Kim, you have had a long stay.
This is second full week of school for us so starting to feel more in routine around here. I go for my surgical consult in a couple of weeks.
Hoping to make it Saturday...

It's awfully quiet in here these days. How is everybody doing? Holidays are over, kids are back in school...what's on everybody's plate next? For me, I am still in the hospital...same song...but I am getting better and I think I can get nutrition without tpn, at least thats my story when I go back from pass tomorrow. I did pretty good this weekend and I think I do better at home. I do feel on the mend. Sondra I hope you had a great birthday weekend! Is anyone closing in on the losers bench? I hope we have a good turnout for the meet and greet next saturday...I know I am sure looking forward to it. See you all there then...keep it down in here...people are trying to sleep! kj

Sondra, just wondering now that you are at your goal weight how much protein you eat a day? Is it pAtient dependent? Who who determin what your protein counts are? I am 4 months post op and s told to eat 65 - 70 grams a day and I don't use any powders at all. I eat about 1050 - 1100 calories a day and bike ride about 5 times a week. I notice many people use powders! Should I be incorporating them into my daily foods? I eat a lot of Greek yogurt which I love. I know nothing is carved in stone, but some opinions would be helpful. See you this Saturday.
The Wellness center has some free programs too. (Seven oaks hospital). Depression is very hard to combat, and so is having a social phobia. I have a hard time leaving my house, but I have to force myself to. They say exercise is good for depression, just don't over do it. Don't beat yourself up if you miss a workout or eat something bad, just keep going. (I really need to practice what I preach) I have to get back on track watching what I eat. Barb.
Hi Manitobans,
Anyone going to the OH Conference in Anaheim in October?
I have an extra conference ticket and could share my reserved room.
Sounds like fun and a good learning experience.
There will be people of all sizes there. I am still in a 1X, and still like my baggy 2X stuff. I don't have much to bring, but I will bring what I have. If people have recipes for soft foods etc.. for when people have their surgeries that would be awesome. Seems to be a lot of people who have recently been accepted for surgery. High protein recipes too.
