Hi everyone,
My journey led me to create Circle of Support Timmins for people like me that had gastric bypass. A place where we understand, help and support each other.
Starting January 2019, we will meet every month.
If you are not ready to meet with us in person, that's ok! Join us on Facebook, and/or follow on Twitter.
Circle of Support Timmins is a closed group on Facebook therefore, please post with confidence as your "friends" cannot see your postings unless they are part of the same group. Send me your facebook email either by text at 705-288-0371 or by email at [email protected] and it will be my pleasure to add you.

Good morning :)
How is it Friday already? We got quite a bit done yesterday which is good because we had a long night so I don't think we will get much done today. May******rand or two.
So I started this post around 8am and I totally got distracted so I'm just coming back to fini**** now :)
QOTD: I often have the news on TV playing in the background. It's so depressing though so I've been pvr-ing a ton of new shows to have something different to watch.
Post-op three years and eight months.
Breakfast - protein bar
Snack - oatmeal bites
Lunch - leftover pizza sandwich or chicken leftovers
Snack - Greek yogurt and blueberries
Dinner - tbd... I don't know what I want. I have beef on the plan but right now I'm not feeling it lol.
Snack - pudding - not the avocado kind. I think I will probably end up throwing it out unfortunately
All water and vits.
I just don't want to adult today.....

Welcome to your weekend Menu Peeps. Today is another busy day, and I won't get a chance to workout.
Accountability: Pretty good
Question of the Day: Do you watch the news or listen to it on the radio? I listen sometimes, but most of the time it makes me angry.
The eats today at 4 years post-op are:
B. Protein latte, decaf coffee
L. Scrambled eggs with a slice of bacon in a low carb wrap
D. Shrimp with garlic butter, mini crab cakes, side salad with avocado and creamy Greek dressing
Have a great weekend everyone.

I appreciate everyone that responded. This definitely gives me encouragement and lets me know that I'm not cray cray quite yet. I am not delusional in thinking that this is a walk in the park and an easy thing to do by no means but I think many forget just how determined we are to make this work. I am in awe of everyone on here that have made this tool work for them and gotten their lives back. I hope to be one of those success stories in the future. Thanks everyone :) namaste and inlakesh.
I remember meeting the Social Worker for the first time pre surgery. She told me that my goal would be 172 lbs. I started at 287. She asked how I felt about it. I told her that it may be her goal but I wasn't doing this to weigh 172.
Suffice to say I am sitting at 135 - 137 lbs right now. This is where I plan on staying.
I haven't changed anything other than adding a few more calories to keep me in this range. I still work out - love it. I'm very active and enjoying life.
I'm not even a year out so I know regain is possible and probable but...I'm going to do my utmost to make sure it doesn't happen. I didn't go through all of this to gain it back.
I believe my success or lack thereof, is in my hands. I've been given the tool and I need to use it. I've been given psychological and nutritional counselling, it's all up to me now.
I believe you are being realistic. Listen to your inner voice and go for it. Anything is possible.

Meg it would be so nice to have a fireplace in the sunroom. I'm sure the pups would also enjoy it.

Ginny that is awful. I hope your Mom is doing better today. Having 2 protein bars on hand was a clever idea. But then, I always knew your were clever. I have a meat stick in my glove compartment and a protein bar and a single packet of protein shake in my gym bag which stays in the car.
