Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

The fashion show today was a great success and much fun! I'm glad so many of you were able to join us. We'll be meeting again next month and I would like to invite anyone that'd like to join us! Whether you are pre-band, newly banded or an old band pro. Everyone is welcome!

Where: Polaris Mall food Court

When: Saturday May 10, 2008

Time: 2 p.m.

Look for us near the entrance to the Great Indoors store. We will have a helium balloon marking our group.

All you have to bring is your smile... but if you want to you are welcome to bring outgrown clothes to share with those that might need/want them as well as a "before" picture to add to our group photo album.

I hope to see you there!!!!

I can't commit just yet. It seems as though each month I have trouble with the date. Argh! I will have to let you know. Worse case scenario, I will have to just make a trip down and see whoever can meet me and we'll go for dinner and drinks or something!

I'm always up for that Carole! The meetings are currently set for the second Saturday of each month. However, we can always add a second meeting and anyone that can make it can join us... The month between meetings seems so long for me... I miss everyone!

I agree! It sounds like there was a good turn out at the last meeting. That is so exciting! I am all for another get together when you are feeling up to it Carol!

I am almost too embarrassed to ask but I'll have some 30/32 items I could bring to the May meeting if there is someone who is needing those. I know alot of you are way below me on sizes but I'll get there some day soon!

Personal Message me for more details:rolleyes2:.

Speaking of clothes... I just finished going through my boxed up things and have filled another entire box for our next get together. What I'm wondering is... would anyone be up for a size 24 swimsuit? I haven't tried it on yet, but I have a feeling it's going to be way too big. If it is, I'd love to bring it in too... I just wasn't sure if it was too personal of an item to share.

I love the suit that I got from Juli at our first meeting, but as much as we live at that pool, another suit would be wonderful! (that is if no one else needs it) I don't want to be a clothes hog! :0)

Hi All,

Nice to see you after the style show. I've got 6x/32 size clothes if anyone needs them. Please post here or email me (seebs22@hotmail.com) and I'll provide. I'm finally in 26/28 so I can now shop in the normal plus size stores instead of only those that have extended sizes. Great feeling.

I'm still battling the same 3 pounds around the 63-66 pound loss range. Gain/lose/gain/lose those same 3 pounds. Boy am I tired of those same 3 pounds. But my waist is smaller so I wonder where those 3 pounds are moving to? Maybe I'll get my hair cut to lose them!

Guess I need a fill.

Niki, I will bring the suit to our next meeting... I have to try it on but I'm pretty sure it won't fit. :-)

Hey kids. I'm sorry I won't be at that meeting on the 10th. I'm going to be slogging along with 3000 other people riding my bike from Columbus to Portsmouth. Carol will be doing it with me next year, won't cha? Now mind you if it's raining cats and dogs, you all will see me, because I'm a fair weather cyclist.

I could swing something on the 11th, or anyone the 14th or 15th in the PM I could do. That's my spring break week! No school for me! YEAH!

We just got our work schedule and I am working the night of the 9th and 10th. Usually I would sleep the day of the 10th (go figure, I have a hard time working being up for 3 days straight) but I really want to go the the meeting...I will have to figure something out I guess.

Juli--the 11, 14, and 15 all work for me if you want to try to get together! Does your DD have school that week?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
