I am not familiar with Toronto restaurants but you can usually always find something bariatric friendly anywhere you go. Just skip the carb side, ask for sauce on the side, you can find protein anywhere.

Have a good weekend!

I have taken the orientation and my first appointment with the psychiatrist is in august. I'm prepared for a long wait but now that I've made the decision to do it i'm wishing it would just happen. I guess its good to start making changes now and prepare for whats coming.

Hello all. I got out for an extended walk last night so I feel good about that but tonight will depend on the weather. I can always use my indoor cycle but its just not the same.

B - greek yogurt

S - turkey pepperettes

L - chicken veggie soup

S - 1/2 protein shake

D - leftover roast chicken, broccoli

S - maybe PB on melba toast but hopefully won't be hungry

Stay away rain! Ginny needs to camp and farmers need to plant their crops.

Good morning Gang. Well it looks like we are in for several days of rain which doesn't bode well for a weekend of camping. We may end up cancelling Hit the gym this morning for some cardio because my walking buddy here at work is very unreliable - no guarantees when he will go or not.

I might hit up Costco after work - need to stock up on my supplements.

Post Op 3yrs 2 mos

B - Jimmie Dean Simple Scramble - Bacon (picked these up in the US. taste decent and are convenient when you don't feel like prepping your own)

L - chicken quesadilla

D - chicken caesar salad

I'm going to try and forgo snacks today - if I need something I have a protein shake in the fridge.

Have a great day. Stay dry.

Glad I'm not the only one! I tried responding multiple times and it wouldn't work either.

I am in the middle of my liquid diet stage but I am not on opti - my program uses Iso-flex which you mix with milk and it's not bad. I do add sugar free water flavourings to it though. Dasani cherry pomegranate to the chocolate to make a chocolate cherry. I add the walmart brand orange tangerine sugar free water drops to the vanilla to make a creamsicle type flavour, I also add it to the chocolate for a chocolate orange type flavour. The crystal light pink lemonade and lemon lime crystals both go well with vanilla. I put them all in a blender with ice to make it super cold and almost slurpee like. With mine I can also make a type of ice cream since it is made with milk (not sure if this would work if yours isn't made with milk). I make the shake and then pour it into a bowl and stick it in the freezer. I stir every 20 minutes for about an hour or a little more (if you don't stir it just freezes solid) and it's sort of ice cream type texture. If that doesn't work maybe try freezing into a popsicle?

Good luck - this will be over before you know it!
