There's a nutritionist May 15 at Spivak's Tuesday night deal. Want to have a field trip, or get our own nutritionist?

What a cool idea the arm bands are I should have said!

The nutritionist is a good idea too.. LOL

Ask the nutrionist what kind of program they are offering. where, etc. I think we will better luck contacting one that is familar with lapband patients and eating requirements. Maybe we can have them come out and work with us as a group, while helping us one on one.

The Soup idea is good. Remember though that nothing replaces Water like water. getting your veggies in is important, but so is pure water.

Good point. Hmmm. I'm actually pretty convinced that the morbidly obese crowd probably knows a lot about nutrition. I think we know what we should have done if we could have stuck with it. And if we are eseentially to eat well but small, what are our questions? I think it's a great idea to have a nutritionist. My problem is more behavioral than strictly nutritional, I think. My demons are more often habits than info. Or at last least that's my take on how today went! :-(

But Aquarobics was great yesterday!

Hi everyone, I'm behind in the conversation. When do we meet at La Villa next? I'm game for the field trip--I got so much info from the last meeting at Spivak's office, I like the idea of more idea sharing anyway, anyhow. Being sick this last week, really played havock with the diet. I feel like a failure, but I'm not giving up.

[Betsyjane 2]

Lana, we meet tomorrow (Monday) night. I hope you're feeling better.

I think that's just how life is. You do great work on your health and then there will be a setback...just part of not being perfect.

The challenge, for me anyway, is not so much getting back on track as it is letting it go emotionally so that I can easily get back on track without alot of misery first. One of my goals is to be able to set the reset button each morning and start the day fresh no matter what I did to myself the day before. I'm a long way from being able to do that...I mess up alot if my Lupus is getting at me, and then I have to go through eons of "oh what's the use" before I get going. I'm trying to cut down on that middle step!

So, Scalet, tomorra is another day. Fiddledeedee.

See you tomorrow night.

[barbara465 2]

DId we decide 5:30 or 6:00? Either works for me. I'll go exercise and then meet you guys. Dick should get there before me.

See ya tomorrow.

Betsy, what a great idea--a reset button! That emotional piece is the key. You gave me hope for a new day. Thanks:) Is 5:30 too early for Cindy or Suzanne? I'm fine for 5:30 or 6.

[Betsyjane 2]

5:30 is fine with me.....

[bikergrammy 0]

5:30 works for me.

I am getting a unfill on Tuesday. I am tired of never knowing when I can eat and when I cannot. Yesterday I was near tears bc I could not eat. But I could eat ice cream. (Great). I am having fits with all of this. I know that when they take out .1 or .2 than I will want to eat the house. I will have to get myself to the gym at least 3 times a week.

And they have changed the name of the sugery center. Cannot remember the name.

Suzanne.

Suzanne- I'm wondering about a slight unfill too. I can't eat in the morning...which is fine. I have a SlimFast Carb Control. lunch comes and goes...I either eat or drink it. dinner is fine if I eat really really really slowly. I'm trying to decide if I'd like a bit more comfiort, in part so I don't risk dilating my pouch again. Some days, I feel like I want to conform to the current tightness. Some days I want a bit less but am afraid of my eating habits. I am truly on the fence.

Do you think Sp & Sp sold their shares of the Surgicenter? I still think we're not getting all the dirt.....

I agree with you, I think something is going on and the girls cannot talk about it. I can get them to say just enough to let me know that they know something. They are just doing there job.

I WANT TO EAT !!!!!

Suzanne.
