[rensterness 375]

For those locals here, please keep in mind the support groups. I had my surgery done at Albany Med and there is a support group every Thursday at 530pm. It's at 25 Hackett Blvd in Albany, first floor. It really is a great group and all are welcome. BTW my loves I am in 'ONEderland'!!! Surgery was. October 7th and down over 50 pounds and have lost 38% excess body weight (average is 55% over a 15 month period). So glad to feel the way I feel, I feel more energetic, full of life and yes for once sexy lol. Updated pic ignore the penguin pajamas as I took this a few mins ago lol. Nighty nights!!

rensterness; LOVE the picture, penguins and all. Yep, I am hoping to get to a support meeting soon. Tomorrow is the team meeting and I am supposed to get a phone call when it is over. Did my quota in Cooperstown, 2 hrs from my home, in order for the whole thing to get okayed. Now, I more want to go for me.I absolutely want the first available date AND I really would like to meet you and other folks in Albany-just a dozen miles away.

I'm a total penguin nerd lol. Things are going to work out perfecto for you, think positive!! The support groups are amazing and soooo beneficial! I would def meet up with you for one if you would like. I'm always upto meeting new people that are on this journey and it would be great. I'm still waiting to meet Auntie Vick. In five weeks I've lost 50 pounds, but gotta remember men lose quicker then women. Damn us men, I know lol. Keep up the positive attitude!!!

That's right, damn you men! Haha. I am so happy for you! Onederland seemed like such a dream at that start, now we are both here. Been fighting with this website for a week, now I am finally back. Been hitting Planet Fatness (old habits die hard) here in the Bush three times a week. Struggling with snacking, but getting a better grip on it. Almonds are like crack to me, I need to keep them out of the house. And my hair is falling out in clumps now. What is that about? I thought it would be over by now. I don't regret for one minute having this surgery. I wish I had done it sooner. Rensterness, we need to meet for coffee.< /p>

[rensterness 375]

Okay for starters let's have a moment of silence and have an Almond Joy together....on the count of three... One..................

[rensterness 375]

Well, I thought it was funny. Anyways, I'm on Biotin for the Hair loss. And as for the gym, I walk an hour a day, and use the bike at home. I dont have $10 a month to waste on PF unless they had a pool!! I am thinking about a Y membership because I really want to do the swimming. U should soooo get one with me!!!

[rensterness 375]

Aunt Vick ~ We def should get together for coffee. There's a Dunkin Donuts AND a Starbucks near the East Greenbush Walmart :-) shhhhhhh, no one else can see this, right?

WAS APPROVED -just got the call. Pre-op class/seminar on the 20th; then a date asap. One hold out-my therapist is 2 months late with my evaluation. Grr

[rensterness 375]

Yay Holly, Congrats!!! :-)

[Auntvick 45]

Congrats HC! Get that therapist in gear!

Rensterness.....this weekend. I will text yountomorrow to see what works. I have yet to be to Starbucks as I am a diehard DD girl, but would try a blond roast. You pick which side of the road.

Oh, and I take the Biotin too AND use the Biotin and collagen Shampoo. I think my hair is the only part of me not adjusting to this. Yikes!

[rensterness 375]

Auntie Vick ~ sent you a private message with new phone number. Sounds like a plan to me :-) I'm fine with either one, they both sound good to me. Will talk to you tomorrow.

[Holly Clare 7]

exciting

[Holly Clare 7]

So, did you folks have a meet-up? I have been watching for updates!

[rensterness 375]

No we have not. Auntie Vick isn't on all the time so I think she may have texted my other number and not of got my new number I sent to her in a message in time :-( When she gets on she will see it. Hoping she doesn't think I was ignoring her, Auntie Vick is a total sweet heart :-)

[Holly Clare 7]

Auntie Vick seems very dear. Well, soon we can all have a cuppa sumpin' and talk without typing
