Hello :)

This is awesome! It seemed to me like everyone was from out West on here but we have quite a few July East Coast sleevers. I'm from SouthWest West Virginia so I'm really close to you Ohio folks. We should definitely keep in touch for support. Also, I go to Cincinnati and Columbus on a regular basis (and not JUST to go to Plato's Closet for my daughter!) so if you make any great food finds, please let me know. I could really use some good portable Snacks since I work full time and go to school full time as well as being an 'active' mom (she's active and I'm her mom!).

InProgress- that is cool! Let me know whenever you come to Cincy and we should meet! We also go to Pittsburgh a few times a year and go through Northern WV to get there! I am excited about being able to actually shop at Plato's Closet lol! Nothing there has ever fit me before

Hey MLD- your surgery is on the same day as my hubby's b-day! I am sure you will do great!

Leslie, I know, right? Last time I took my daughter to Plato's I looked through the XL stuff and realized that there is a small possibility that I might be able to wear some of that stuff some day. I can't even fathom that!

I would love to meet up! I have so many stinking questions and just want to bounce all of my thoughts off of someone, you know? I am actually hoping to get to Cinci at the end of August for a shoppping trip (if I can find a weekend free of volleyball tournaments). Of course we'll have to find somewhere other than the Melting Pot to meet up.

Funny you should mention the Melting Pot as that was my food funeral meal!! Shopping would be great. There is a wonderful Gap Factory store... not the outlet mall kind... in NKY close to where my hubby works. MAybe we could hit them too !

GAP. Is it possible? Could I someday shop a regular store? Oh the possibilities! I actually saw somewhere on here today where they suggested The Melting Pot main meal for after. I started thinking, small portions, low Cal cooking method, high Protein, forces you to eat slower... My only problem would be the sacrilege of leaving without chocolate.

Yeah that woukd be tooo much torture for me to go afterwards, at least for a looooong time!

The Melting Pot is one of my favorite restaurants and I am going there next Friday for my "farewell food" meal. I don't see how I'll be able to eat there after my surgery.
