Hi all, looks like the weather could be a bit iffy for Saturdays meeting at the Bean Counter Cafe so I am proposing. Could we reschedule for Saturday, April 27th? What say you KC Sleevers?

KC SLEEVERS, NEXT MEETING SAT., MARCH 23, 9:30am, BEAN COUNTER CAFE on 7 Hiway south of Blue Springs, Mo., north of Colburn Rd. Please mark your calendars!! Today, there were 3 of us over a year out, one at 5 months out and two that are starting the process. We shared recipes, products we have found and just great ideas to help continue and succeed on this amazing journey. It was fun to meet new people today and anyone that wants to come next month, bring a friend or your spouse. Just come!

Holli, You are an amazing success story!! An inspiration. Husband and I are a year out. He lost 100 and me 65. Then....hernia surgery and total shoulder replacement for him, and losing stopped. I quit going to the gym due to chronic reinjury.I have 25 more to go, he has 40-50. Now we are back in the swing. But I struggle mentally. My hunger never left, his did. This surgery is awesome and you have kicked butt! Bikerchick comes to meetings and she is in maintenance and looks/feels great. Please come to the next one. I will post date. Lisa

So, tomorrow morning at 9:30 IS ON! Hope to see new faces. We will meet at one of the bigger tables in the room on the right side of the cafe. Will post again for next meeting.

KC SLEEVERS....please let me know if you would rather keep tomorrow or reschedule for a week from tomorrow.

Man, I hope all of you can come to meet each other on the 23rd. This is sounding like a great group!

Biker chick and any other sleevers.....this Saturday at 9:30, let's meet at the Bean Counter Cafe south of Blue Springs on Hiway 7. It is a great coffee spot that shares space in the Lead Bank building. On the east side of 7. My husband also had the sleeve and we will be in the big back room having coffee at 9:30.

The Big Bisquit restaurant on highway 7 in Blue Springs has a meeting room for free. Do not have to eat there but there are healthy choices. So, what about a morning meeting on a Saturday in August? Or lunch? I will make arrangements if those of you that might be intererested will pick one of the dates below that could work for you. Saturday, August 18, 9 or 9:30 am Saturday, August 25, 9 or 9:30 am Let's get something going! Tomorrow is August 1 so let me hear from you by August 5th and I will make arrangements. Thanks all, Lisa

I live in Pleasant Hill too and had thought about meeting at a restaurant that might have a separate room that we could book ahead. Saturday mornings good with me. Will Saturdays work for most everyone? Also, once a month? Twice? Those of you that want to meet, please respond if Saturday mornings would work once a month.

Husband has lost 90 and me 50 with sleeve. Never been to Belize and have an opportunity in July to go for niece's wedding. Any tips on lodging, fishing, restaurants etc....???

I would love a smaller more relevant group. Maybe meet once every two months. If you would email your contacts and see who might be interested, I would love to meet some other local sleevers. Thanks mucho! I have been to three monthy meetings at SM Bariatrics on Prairie Star Parkway. One was good, other two pretty much a waste of two hours driving. Same issues you stated above.

Kansasgirl, are you back from Mexico and how are you feeling?

Sunday was crazy, we had just arrived home from a weekend of fishing at Truman Lake. 3" of rain, sirens but no touchdowns in Pleasant Hill. Hope your back is better. Readying for citywide garage sale. Hoping for big crowds and little left on Saturday. Had a 3 week stall in April that seemed to end last week. Will know on Thursday if the scale continues downward slide. A couple pounds away from onderland! Lisa from Pleasant Hill

53 down since 2/1, but started third week of stall. Strength training and cardio at the gym. Hunger never left, hardest in the evening. Working on the head game. This is an amazing tool. Trying to develop better relationship with food and old desires. One thing I have never felt before, I am enjoying the workouts at the gym.

Have all of the February sleevers been invited to the FB group? If not and you would like to join, please reply here
