Good morning!! I'm sure your workout was CC great!! 
I had a great night last night, dropped a banana loaf off to my mother and then home, had supper, made rice krispie squares for the work lounge today and then took the doggies for a good long walk. Over 18,000 steps yesterday.
A cardio and weight workout this morning and will be walking at lunch with my buddy. Tomorrow I have a dentist appt at 8:10 so I'm going to try and get up a little early and still make it to the gym. I will strive to get there to have time for a 20km recumbent bike ride. Next week I think I am going to start trying the attack bikes. A little different workout for sure which will take time to build up my endurance.
QOTD: My Trucker always sneaks candy into the theatre. He is a candy hound - loves the sour ones! I don't bother with water anymore because they will actually give it to you for free from the soda machine.
EDITED TO ADD: I've never ever snuck a snake in anywhere!!!

Good morning :)
Doing some running around today -- picking up a couple things I'm buying from the FB marketplace.
CC what movie are you going to see? I haven't been to a movie in forever.
QOTD: I'm not opposed to sneaking in snacks and water -- who wants to pay $5 for a bottle of water. I'm trying to think of any movies I've been to since surgery... I don't think I've taken anything in other than water since then... To be honest I think I've only seen maybe 3-4 movies in the theatre since then. I used to go to the movies a ton, but we just haven't lately.
Post-op four years.
Breakfast - nut bar
Snack - Greek yogurt and banana
Lunch - ham, cheese, and apple
Snack - carrots and PB
Dinner - chicken and veg
Snack - pudding
All water and vits.
Good morning everyone. Yesterday was some good workouts. Not quite Ginny good, but I'll get there. Today I am doing chores around the house and then maybe another workout. Tonight DH and I are going to the movies. We are going to the VIP theatre so I will order my dinner in my reclining movie seat. Sweet.
QOTD: Do you sneak things (snacks, fluids, snakes etc.) into the movies? If so, what do you take. I have small packets of salad dressing that I may take because I don't trust that the movie theatre dressing isn't full of sugar. I may also bring some mini pepperettes and individual cheese in case there is nothing on the menu that I fancy. Anything to pull me away from the siren song of warm buttered popcorn. That stuff goes down too easy and I could eat the whole thing.
The eats today at 4 years 8 months post-op are:
B. Buckets of decaf
L. French omelette with some asparagus
D. Maybe a Cobb salad. Not sure, we'll see what is on offer and try to go for protein first.
S. Hot cocoa
Have a great day everyone.

Hi im currently going through the guelph clinic and i believe you were denied cause you have not been quit smoking for an adequate amount of time. during my orientation they said they would deny someone immediately if they dont quit smoking at least 6 months before.
Many surgeons are not doing just pure panni due to the poor results. Success really depends on how you carry your excess skin. I use Usculpt in Vaughan for all my procedures. Advantage of using a private clinic is they have their own state of the art OR. As well as they can use upgraded sutures, dressings etc... that are not available in hospital. Consults are free they also have a website. Just make sure whoever you see specialises in WLS patients.

You can make your own broth. Veggie broth easy to make. Use your scrap veggies, seasoning. Just strain when done. Same for chicken.

They are looking at what diet plans you have tried. Weigh****chers, working with Dietitian, any types of diets you have tried, worked with a doctor etc... They want you to be able to demonstrate that you have tried to lose weight. Even you you were successful list them all. They also want to see lifestyle changes to show commitment etc. List everything even Atiken, any diet plans in books etc...

I didn't have to do any prior medically supervised diet either. I had a BMI of 44.4, that was all that was needed.
I agree with the other poster, talk to your family doctor. All my PCP had to do was fill out an online form and I was contacted by Humber River Hospital about 3 weeks later to attend the next scheduled info session.
