I would send him a copy of what you wrote above... let him know how you feel and then it's in his hands to get in touch, if he does you can work on your friendship, if not you need to move on! good luck!

Should I bring my son?
Shannon Mcmanus replied to Jackie8508's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I wouldn't. there is nothing for him to do and you will be all loopy and poo in pain, he doesn't need to see that. plus if he wants to cuddle, you shouoldn't let him for a day or two, just in case...it would be really hard! -

food and celebrations
Shannon Mcmanus replied to moonlitestarbrite's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Be the change you want to see!!! Come up with your own traditions that don't center around food. Spend some time volentering or something! before long that will become your "normal" and food is not at the center of it! good luck! shannon -
my Dr said the same...don't do juice, do more protein! good luck!

nope, but I just joined the Y. sliding scale I pay 35 a monrth for a family, I know you can find cheaper, but they have a pool, classes, machines , and (most imp) childcare! I have been x2 and I love it and so does the baby! Hubby and I share a car so I can only go doys his carpool buddy drives but that is every other day so I should be able to wk out 2-3 days a week, plus I do Roller Derby 2-3 times a week... I may just get healthy...LOL
