Your menu looks yummy Ginny. I make Angry Viking's Buffalo chicken salad (or my version) which is rotisserie chicken, Franks Red hot sauce and a packet of dry ranch dressing with some mayo. Sometimes I add celery and have it on cucumber slices.
Way to cru**** at the gym.

Maybe you could have your family doctor touch base with them and get more details. Family doctors need to fill out the request for them to consider you. Maybe you need to go over that form with your family doctor.

During my orientation in Windsor Ontario, normally they would just give you your appointments right after the orientation.I guess each location is different,but it doesn't hurt calling them.
Good morning :)
I can't wait to sleep in my own bed again... There are six adults, four dogs, and one baby here... It's very busy. I don't know what we are doing today but we are picking up dinner tonight to thank my parents for letting us stay here. My dad had knee surgery last week so it isn't easy for him to get out and about yet.
QOTD: I'm a solid medium lol. I prefer a mild or sweet sauce (bad meggles), so I don't usually order wings these days. I like Thai and Indian food when it's more flavorful than hot.

Breakfast - nut bar
Snack - hard boiled egg and one piece of toast
Lunch - tbd
Snack - Greek yogurt and banana
Dinner - takeout tbd - there are only two restaurants in this town so we know the restaurant I just don't know what I will order.
Snack - maybe a protein bar depending on bedtime
All water and vits.
So my orientation was January 29th. I'm part of the online support groups for WLS in Ontario and Humber River specifically. I've asked around and I can't find a single person who had a December or January orientation who's gotten an appointment yet.
That being said, it seems that the general consensus for Humber is it takes about 3 months to hear back for appointments.
Even though it's only been two months, would you call the clinic and ask about appointments? (Although I'm pretty sure they will just blow me off when they hear my orientation was end of January).
If so, how often would you call at this point? Once a week? Once every two weeks?
I'm trying to be very proactive as I don't want to fall in between the cracks and get left behind.
Recently, I've seen many people with November orientations still waiting for appointments and then they called and got theirs scheduled right away and I don't want that to happen to me.

Good morning everyone, I was up and at 'em this morning, outta the house a few minutes early which gave me time to cru**** at the gym. I pushed myself just passed 16 kms on the bike, which tipped it over 10 mile mark. Woot Woot!! Felt pretty good for that ..... the other day I stopped at 9 miles because of my time.
QOTD: I'm starting to tolerate more spice lately just depends on what it is. My favourite has become Franks Red Hot with equal parts butter for my chicken wings. When we go "Wing Night" at the legion I just ask for mine naked and take my own bowl of sauce. I look forward to those starting up again in May.
B - deli turkey rolls ups (3), HB egg, 1 old cheese stick
S - skyr and raspberries
L - tomato/cukes salad with greek dressing, piece of chicken from grocery store
S - beef stick and cheese (maybe)
D - either chicken sausages or leftover bacon wrapped meatloaf, haven't decided yet.
Have a good weekend!!
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
The weekend is finally here. The weather is supposed to be nice on Sunday so DH and I might take the convertible out to buy a coffee, lol.
QOTD:
What is your spice level tolerance? I can go hot, but not crazy hot. Love jalapenos, but hate Scotch Bonnets.
The eats today at 4 years 8 months post op are:
B. Rivers of decaf
L. First meal of the day will be leftover bunless burger from last night's dinner. I had wanted wings, but they were breaded so I gave it a miss.
D. Carnitas with guac, sour creme, salsa, hot peppers.
S. Hot cocoa before bed.
No totals because I can't figure out the leftovers
1 hour at the gym today.
Have a great weekend everyone.

A little one room schoolhouse turned into a cafe sounds perfect. Routines are important with little ones, but Thorbellina is such a champ, I know she will adjust.

Good afternoon :)
We are at my mom's house so we are totally off our routines... It has been very challenging.
This morning we went out touring and got some lunch at a little cafe which was an old converted one room schoolhouse. Then we drove around looking at the scenery. Apparently my winter boots are not very waterproof so I will have to glue them and seal them again before next year.
QOTD: I don't know if this applies, but I have rosacea and there is a gel the doctor gave me that works really well but I had to stop it for pregnancy and breastfeeding. I paired it with a face moisturizer and sunscreen. It was the best my face skin has ever been.

Good morning lovely menu Peeps. We are almost at the weekend. Today I am going back to the gym to get my ass handed to me again. Yesterday I didn't get my first meal of the day until 5pm, so no lunch for me yesterday. We will try that again today.
Tonight we are going out with friends to a pub for dinner. I have been craving wings so that will be my choice.
QOTD: We are advised to do all these things to stay beautiful and healthy. Exfoliate, drink ACV, Take Pre and Probiotics, Drink Lemon water, Omega 3's. I think there are not enough hours in the day to try all of the things that we are recommended to do. What things have you tried that you found made a noticeable difference in appearance, chronic pain, or health? Swimming helps with the pain in my back and leg. The water supports my torso and decompresses my spine, and because I swim in a hot pool, by leg muscles ease up and I have greater range of motion.
The eats today at 4 years 8 months post-op are:
B. Coffee, coffee, coffee 
L. Scrambled eggs with cheese melted on top, bacon, 1/2 of a spicy Italian sausage, half of a small avocado and some fresh salsa
D. Big juicy jumbo wings with Dry Cajun Rub.
S. Hot cocoa before bed because I'm old.
The totals are: 988, carbs 23, fibre 8, fat 75, protein 59
1.5 hours at the gym
Have a great day everyone.
