Topic: RE: May 14th Get Together!!!
Hi Sarah,
Were you able to make some reservations? I think 6:00pm sounds about right for supper. That way I have time to get there and have enough time to get back at night! I'm really looking forward to Saturday. I hope a couple more people show up. I'm making a 200km treck to be there so if you're able to attend, please do so.
Thanks and see you Saturday.
Derek

I would love to see pics! You'll all be in my thoughts....have fun. Just a warning! The rice really stuff's you quickly post op. Eat very very slowly from one to another sushi. First few months post op I had only two pieces and now I am up to eight over an hour and a half sitting. Enjoy!
I have not heard from Diane. I PM her about a month ago but no reply. Hope all is well.

Congratulations to both of you!It is wonderful news. Especially since the OH family has been waiting quite a while on the big news. Just remember to take a few moments to take it all in. The day goes by really quickly and it can get a tad overwhelming with all the attention put on you. It is a memorable event. Have fun planning!
As for the WLS. I am still on the maintenance. 150lbs. I've started my new job but still finishing up loose ends on my old job so I am very by the time I get home. My exercise regiment is non existent at this point. We've started spring chores and I of course have been doing spring cleaning and well that is taking all of my time. I know it is temporary but it is playing with my mind. The brutal honesty is that I am no way near doing enough exercise. I am not on the couch doing nothing but not working out. I need to figure something out. I have been trying to walk on my lunch hours when I remember to bring my sneakers. I will have to figure this out. Time management for my personal stuff has always been a challenge for me....This is an ongoing goal for me.
Congrats on everyone losses. Have fun on the get together and see you all next week.

Dr. Court is affiliated with Mcgill and Dr. christou. I did hear in the waiting room that he was much appreciated but that is all I can say as I was seen by his colleague.

Hi Everybody,
I would really like to come, but I will be just starting full liquids. I don't eat sushi or any other seafood, so hopefully they will have some sort of non-fish soup. If not, I will be drinking apple juice
. I'm coming from off the island in St-Lazare, so I have no idea where anything is in Montreal.
Please keep me informed about where and when.
Thanks,
Heidi

Howdy all!
Yey Derek! So happy for you both!
My numbers have gone up this week, however... my inches are going way down. I added several things to my exercise regime. So all in all I am not unhappy!
One fun thing that happened... we are packing, and as such I am insisting on a lot of things be thrown out... Simon was going to throw some old belts of his away, seeing as how they do not fit him at this time. Just for fun I tried one on... 32''! It fit!!! It was tighter that I am comfortable with around my new scar area, however hot damn! The thing fit!!! he just stared with his mouth open! Giggle!
As I lose more and more weight my legs are getting more and more uncomfortable, skin wise. I have decided that this will be my next surgery. I am tentatively planning for it by next Feb. I know there will be about at least 10 pounds of skin removed from this surgery as well.
Then, depending on my recovery from this one I can plan out the next surgeries to have. In regards to my panni surgery. I am happy still with the result, however the skin is getting looser with the more weight I am losing. A revising will have to be done in the future... this realization is kind of sickening, however I was warned. The panni was not a tummy-tuck, it was just to remove all that dead weight and skin so mobility and comfort was increased- that is what it has done 10 fold so far.
So I started a months worth of exercise goals and a plan to follow. I weigh in today at 266. Goal for the end of July is 250... if I get there sooner, yey! My goal is to be at 200 by dec... which is 10 pounds a month. Hopefully I can do it!
Happy losing!

Topic: RE: Sacré Coeur Hospital Card...
Hi Ana,
Thanks for the info...exactly what I need to know. Just wondering if the apt. takes very long. I know I'm doing blood work and because I'm over 40 an EKG. Will they do anything else? Do you have a date booked yet for the actual surgery?
Thanks and looking forward to seeing you on Saturday!

OMG...DEREK.....I AM SO HAPPY...It is about damn time man. I knew she would say yes though!!!!
You better keep us up to date on your plans. I know that you are going on a honeymoon...Go check with a local travel agency and see if they offer a registration like that if you would register at dept stores. That way people can help put money towards your honeymoon. The travel agency that I work for has something like this and I have seen some newlyweds that have had to pay half or nothing towards thier honeymoon. Just a thought!
I am so happy for your WL too. Keep it up....Your soon to be wife and future kids want you around for a long time!!!
Again congratulations!!!
Deb
