Holy crap you guys are up early! Posting at 5 a.m.

Umm there is no way I could live with my parents a this point in my life. They only live 5 minute drive from me so that is plenty close! I enjoy my privacy too much.

Hello Marlene and welcome! This is a great site with so many helpful people.

I completed my orientation at Humber in November so we are not that far apart.

Good morning, I had one of the best nights sleep last night that I've had in a long time, so needless to say I didn't make it to the gym this morning. Maybe after work tonight.

Glad it's the weekend again, I want to do some meal prep so I don't have to think so much during the week.

I'm new here and have been reading the board for a while so I thought I would register and introduce myself. My name is Marlene and I'm 47 and I've already received a referral from my doctor about 4 years ago. Well I finally got through last year around June only to realize that I was put through the medical bariatric program and not the surgical program through Toronto Western Hospital. Anyway I went through the orientation and had already started my classes before meeting with the doctor. When meeting with Dr. Glazer in August he transferred me over to the surgical program . I had the surgical orientation back in October and now I'm just waiting for the next phase . I've done my blood work and met with Dr. Hagen who has explained everything to me and approved me for the RNY surgery I've also already done my sleep test so hopefully I'll be hearing something soon . I've been reading a lot of post and seeing how everyone's journey is going and I know that I'll get a lot of support from the site so just want to say thanks in advance.

Good morning everyone. Well day 2 of back at the gym was a success. By that I mean I went. I only did 5 kms on the elliptical (I wanted the recumbent bike but that's a long story).

I couldn't get my scale working last night and now it would seem I am having problems with my iPhone. It isn't cooperating when I try to connect to the App Store. It's very frustrating because I'm not a techy by any means. I tried all kinds of hacks from the internet but no go. Will have to see if one of our IT guys can figure it out here at work today.

I took the plunge and had my hair cut short. Shocked my stylist when I told her to cut it off. I also went with a bold purpley/red color. I like it, for now. So much easier at the gym.
