  • Okay, first thing I thought I'd put here is in regards to finding affordable options when it comes to food. In Calgary, there is an awesome service called "Good Food Box" where people can get good quality fruits and veggies for super cheap. It is run by the Community Kitchen Program of Calgary.…

  • Hello! Allison here. Wow, that sounds like you're getting things done really quickly. I'm up in Canada, and things are different here. I started taking classes in July/Aug of last year and just found out last week that I get to finally meet with my surgeon at the end of Aug. Im sure you're trying to get as much info as you…

  • Hi there, Allison here. It looks to me like you have a good plan of action. The only thing I would want to say is seems to be a lot of stuff, so if for some reason you only get part of all that done, please don't feel discouraged! The fact that you're posting anything is a step in the right direction. :smile:

    in Where to find services in Canada Comment by kittenincalgary August 2014
  • Allison here.. So, after I read this thread I went into my hand-outs and notes from the "Emotional Eating" class to see what I could find to share. I don't think there was anything there that you don't already know. I think the fact that you now recognize the behavior is really, really helpful and that was what almost all…

  • Hello Kniecey, welcome! :smile: I'm Allison and I'm pre-op too. Im in Canada, so it's a different process as far as coverage goes. You will meet a lot of good people here, for sure.

    in NEW, AFRAID, ALONE Comment by kittenincalgary July 2014

    in New here Comment by kittenincalgary July 2014
  • Hi there! Im Allison & Im pre-op too. :drinker: I took a quick peek at your food diary. Putting this much thought into what you eat does sorta start to feel like work after a while, what helped me was trying new things or different ways to prepare stuff. I was curious as to what, if anything you have to drink. Thats…

  • I'm up pretty early every day, so I keep it small (took me a while to get to like having breakfast). I usually do 1 yogurt, 1 slice whole wheat bread with applesauce in place of butter or maybe some cold cereal with 1% milk, a piece of fruit if I have some, and .. :blushing: coffee with Stevia(yes I know..lol)
