So happy: I just hit my half way mark on my weight loss ticker. Exciting to see how much I'm down, and trying not to ruin my happiness with looking at how much I still have to go.
I have this fear of jinxing everything and that the losing will just stop - I'm working hard to keep adding positive changes to my life: I track my food daily using my phone app, I've introduced 1/2 hour on my treadmill (previously the item I hung stuff on, placed items on top!).
I've researched gyms in area and found the one that we can go as a family - starting mid March! Even set aside $ for personal trainer sessions, to make sure I'm weight training correctly to get those muscles more shapely and to help set goals for the next year.
I will hit 4 months post surgery on Feb 22; I'm thinking overall I'm doing good - current goal is to up my water intake (somehow cold months make it harder...)
Wishing everyone a happy Valentine's Day tomorrow - there is always someone to share an extra hug with, including our 4 legged family members!!

Welcome to the forum! This is a great forum for support and resource for a wealth of information.
Kingston is performing RNY surgeries now - I believe they started doing surgery in October 2017 there in Kingston. I went through the process at the Kingston Bariatic Centre at Hotel Dieu but I had surgery March 2017 in Toronto at Michael Garron hospital. The usual process time is approx 1 year but depends on alot of factors e.g. test results. Best of luck and I hope you get through quickly
I have heard that with so many folks wanting to have surgery, things have changed and the Trios team is being sterner to ensure that they approve the people that are ready. So it could be very likely that this is not a scare tactic...I definitely agree with SweetRide
Hi, I had my surgery at TWH but I went thru the OBN site in Windsor who did all my pre-op testing etc.
I'm not sure if you have passed all the other stages but I met the surgeon in February and had my surgery mid April.
Over 100 lbs lost! and 13 lbs below goal weight!
Gotta agree with SweetRide... post surgery is extremely difficult.. especially maintenance. I was obese my entire life.. and given this amazing tool.. which in the past year due to emotional eating and struggling with too many personal issues and big changes.. and death... i have regained. i am dealing with it and it's not easy!!! be upfront and honest with the dietitian... and if they defer you.. maybe they can suggest someone who can help you with your emotional eating.. and whatever else is causing you to overeat... gotta get a grip on it now. this is just a tool you are given... not a magic wand to end our eating issues unfortunately.. good luck!!!
Good morning-ish ;)
I stepped about three feet out my back door this morning to grab the recycling bins and that was enough outside time for me lol. I suppose I may shovel later -- I at least need to de-ice the car so we can go to the doctor's office tomorrow. The little nugget is going for her six month checkup and needles.
Today will be house stuff... I need to clean out the fridge. We tried making hummus but it turned out horribly. Even though we said we would eat it we didn't. I hate wasting food but it is beyond saving.
Post-op three years and eleven months. My four year appointment at Guelph is on March 4th if anyone is going to be there :)

Please go to ER and make sure it's an ER that knows about Bariatric Surgery.
There are multiple things that could be going on and it may, or may not, be related to Bariatrics, but what you are experiencing is not normal.
Right now you are self diagnosing. You could have a small blockage, a twist in your bowel is a common complication after Gastric Bypass (I had it).
Please go and have it checked and let us know the outcome. Better safe than sorry. You really don't want something bad to happen while on vacation. :)
