Hi, everyone.
Well, I have to admit, I was feeling pretty down the last few months waiting for my meet the surgeon appointment at TWH. I had been waiting since August 2018 and had started calling in for cancellation appointments in Nov to no avail - just wasn't in the cards for me to get in earlier. But now I can happily say I have a surgery date set for January 29 , 2019.
There is finally a light at the end of the tunnel!

Good afternoon :)
I'm a bit behind today because I had two people over to buy things and I went to pickup something I was buying for the little nugget :) I have a path cleared through the storage room so I will call that progress. This weekend will be a bit busier than usual - tomorrow we are going to see my MIL and Sunday we are supposed to hang out with friends. Apparently we messed up the plans because DH was supposed to hangout with his friend on Saturday, but when I talked to his partner she said Sunday... So I changed plans with my MIL and now our friends are not happy. Can't win!!

The other girls are a few years out of surgery. I had VGS just over a month ago so I'm a newbie here.
Welcome back to the board.... I'm sure these gals will help you get back on track!
That is exciting! I am also at Humber. My orientation was Nov 9th (Same day you were referred). lol
I am still waiting for my next step, which will be a call for an appointment with the surgeon. From my understanding, if you get approved by the surgeon, then we will get our next 3 appointments at this time.
I called yesterday regarding my appointment date and they told me that they are still working on the appointments for people would had orientation in October. So still sitting here waiting. 
I have been lurking for months now. I got a lot of great information from this forum that helped me through my journey.
I had an RNY on December 17 at Guelph General. Things went very well and I feel great.
Looking forward to starting back on solid food again next week and going back to work. (believe it or not!)
Anyway, thank you to all the regular posters- you are truly inspirational.

Good morning Protein Peeps. I'm feeling pretty good today, had a good workout this morning, the "evil one" in our office is off today, and I'm pretty stoked about my menu if I can keep the rest of the "crap" from "gettin' in my belly!" 
Unfortunately a co-worker brought in a dozen muffins this morning....donuts have less calories than a muffin....but its okay because I'm not really a muffin person so I should be able to just walk on by!
Will get out to the arena again today for a walk at lunch.
