I am already so excited and it is 2 months away thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Topic: Three weeks post-op
According to my scales I'm down another 10 pounds, for a total of 29 pounds since starting the diet (2 weeks pre-op included). I find this week's weight loss a bit alarming - I really don't want to lose that rapidly. And, I don't need to lose a lot more weight. My weight is best between 165-180 - most people think I look good at 180. I'm happier with 165 as it gives me some breathing room. I've been as low as 150 and don't look healthy at that weight. Although in life according to BMI I should weigh less than that. I know I would look emaciated below that weight. At 150 many people (myself included) thought I looked anorexic. I'm 5'8" and carry my weight disproportionately. So when I lose my face, arms, shoulders look gaunt. Anyhow, am hoping this kind of dramatic weight loss slows soon.
Very excited to have food in my house. One more week till I can start reintroducing some soft foods. Cheque day so I picked up some meat and eggs in preparation for that. I am looking forward to eating again. :)

I had friend's come in on a cruise ship a couple of years ago - they were just here for a day and Molly wanted to have seafood when she arrived. So I told her we'd meet at McKelvie's for lunch. She went online and found their menu and had her order ready before she got here - I didn't know they had an online menu until then. I promise you won't be disappointed - everything they make is good.

Topic: RE: Protein Powders & vitamins
I was wondering the same thing today about protein powders and went looking.
I need something without whey because I am lactose intolerant but I found one at GNC. Three walls of protein powders and 1 kind without whey. O.o
It is Women's Soy Supreme- vanilla. After making a shake with it by adding strawberries and banana to it - I can see why it is on sale. gah..... The only saving grace it is a small jar... which probably means that it is mega expensive for long term. It is grainy and has a horrible taste.
Walmart had one as well but it was a big container and I am afraid to try it.
Has anyone found any whey free protein powders?
Edited to add: I just found out that there are some whey pp that have less than 0.1 gram of lactose per 20 grams. Now to find them. lol

I highly recommend the Radison, Lord Nelson, or the Westin. Thinking your Mom may be happiest at the Lord Nelson. It's a lovely hotel, right across from the Public Gardens.
I organize conferences and have used the Westin a lot b/c the staff there are phenomenal. But it isn't in the most convenient setting.
Make sure you have at least one meal at McKelvie's - seafood to die for. You may want to eat there more than once. They're in the heart of downtown - so a nice walking tour of historic properties or a trip to the Maritime Museum of the Atlantic (a must for your visit) followed by dinner at McKelvie's would make for a perfect afternoon/evening.
