Amazing. There must have been an opening and there you were right place, right time. My pre-op is end of Feb and surgery is second week of March.

Thank you! I have an appointment with him this Friday & today a new appointment popped up on my chart. It says Pre-Op February 4,2019!!! I'm guessing it means he'll give me a surgery date!!
I found a recipe online that started with cooking bacon... I feel like it would be hard to go wrong with bacon and roast lol. Usually I do the old onion soup standby but I decided to be fancy. I'm using the slow cooker. That's more my speed. But... I'm getting an instant pot for Christmas (shhhh) and I'm excited to see what I can do with that.
I'm 9m out and I've now lost 127lb and I'm 31lb from my absolute goal weight (I'm 5'11, I was 323lb now 196lb. My goal is 165lb). The surgeon said my goal was 210lb and the dietician said that the expectation is we lose 25%-35% of overall body weight by 18m. I've already surpassed that. When I was asking for additional help/support as I keep stalling for 4-6w at a time she said I need to just accept that this is me done losing and my body has found it's mark and this is it for me. I've since lost 22lb more from when she said that.
My goal is to be right in the middle of a healthy BMI for my height. She said this is unrealistic and I'm setting myself up to fail. What is unrealistic is for them to treat us all the same. We're individual, have individual hopes and wants. I know certainly a lot of people are more than happy to lose what I have and still be more than comfortable at my current BMI (which is 27.3) but I am not. I have gone through a lot from this surgery and I won't settle until I hit my own goal - not their goal for me.
Apparently around the 2yrs out mark there is a bit of regain for most people but it's around 5lb-10lb from what I've read. This isn't most of the weight lost by any stretch.
As ever, take what they say with a pinch of salt and do your own research.

What hospital are you at? I'm at Toronto Western and my surgeon appointment is on Friday. A new appointment popped up on my chart. It says Pre-OP for February 4,2019. I'm guessing suregery will be approved Friday! Keeping my fingers crossed! Good luck and keep us up to date!
Really good stats Corrie. You must be feeling well if you are up at 5:00 and asleep by 10:00.
I was going to ask you where you buy your biltong?

Yeah, I wouldn't trust those eggs.
Not much help with roasts. I put it in the oven on convection roast, make a prepackaged gravy a side veg and hope for the best. If it's not great, I try to salvage it by putting it in the crockpot to soften up. Some of our best beef curries have been the result of a roast gone wrong.
