Katy-Cypress area Meet-up!!



Recommended Posts

(Cross-posted in "Looking for Bandsters in NW Houston")

Hi Bandster Buddies! Let's plan a meet-up for next weekend. How does Saturday 9/13 at 2 PM strike you? Depending on how many want to attend, we may need to think of a place besides a Starbucks, but we'll cross that bridge after we get an idea of our numbers. This'll be a Katy-Cypress area meet-up, but anyone from anywhere is welcome. :)

I'll send this out in an email to those of you I have an email address for. Hope to hear from you soon!

Excellent Michelle! The more the merrier. So far you are the 7th to respond affirmatively for next Saturday 9/13 at 2 pm. We'll decide on a place by the end of this week. Welcome aboard!

I checked on reserving a meeting room at the Cy-Fair College Library on Barker Cypress at West Road for next Saturday 9/13 at 2 PM. Unfortunately, they are booked until 4. We can either change the meeting to 4 or come up with another place to meet. Either way works for me! (I've sent this info out via email too!)

Hi Bandster Buddies!

I finally heard back from the library and we have a meeting room reserved from 4 PM - 6 PM this Saturday, September 13 at the CyFair College Library. The library is located on West Road, off of Barker Cypress on the Lone Star College-CyFair Campus. From Barker-Cypress, turn west on West Road and go down to the 2nd entrance (I think it's actually numbered as Entrance 3). The library is on the left as you approach the college from that entrance. Our meeting room is 131, to the left just as you enter the foyer of the library. It's a HUGE room lol.

If anyone would like to carpool from Katy, we could meet in the Kroger parking lot there on Fry Road and Park Row. I've got an Expedition, so we can pile 5 -7 people in there. I would want to leave the lot by 3:30 at the very latest. Just let me know if you are interested in that.

I hope everyone can still come. Please note the time change from what we discussed earlier - 4 PM.

I just got the official word that the college and library will be closed from this afternoon though Sunday. And with Ike forecasted to make landfall Saturday morning, we'd all better plan to stay home and stay safe.

I will contact the library about reserving the meeting room again. Shall we try for next Saturday, the 20th? Maybe I can get it for 2 PM, so I can still get to my exercise class at 4:30. You all should check this out, it's called Nia and it is so much fun! Studio NiaMoves Fitness & Movement Studio The studio offers 2 weeks free to Houston area residents and you can try out as many classes as you want in that time. The Saturday Nia class is for "Goddess Bodies" - us full-figured gals.:rolleyes2: Only problem is that the studio is in the Heights - if some of you are interested, we could carpool. It is really worth the drive for me!

Batten down the hatches, check your flashlights and get ready to ride out the storm! Stay safe and see you all soon!

Misty

When the library called me to tell me what I already knew (closing for Ike), I took the opportunity to go ahead and reserve a meeting room for next week. So, we are on the books for next Saturday 9/20 at 2:30 in the Cy-Fair College Library. Save the date!

:biggrin: The library is still closed, so this weekend's (9/20) meeting is once more postponed. I will call the library as soon as I see it has reopened and try to reserve a meeting room for NEXT Saturday (9/27), hopefully for 2 PM. Watch this space, as well as your email, for an update.

I hope everyone is doing ok after Ike.

Who is up for getting together this Saturday at 2 PM? Unfortunately, I was not able to get a meeting room at the library, so we'll still have to figure out a location. A Starbucks will work if there are 5 or 6 of us, but I think we'd need somewhere bigger if there are more. My sister and I ate the other day at Vida Loca on Kingsland Road, a block east of Mason (used to be Las Rosas). They have a really nice, big patio. I guess I'll wait and see how many people respond that they plan to attend, then we can decide from there. And if you have any suggestions of places to meet, please toss them out there!

I don't know about you all, but I could use some girl-chat time. :confused:

Hi everyone! Sorry, I've been out of town helping take care of a sick friend for almost 2 weeks, but I'm back home now. We definitely need to plan another get-together - we've not been successful in getting a big group together yet, but I'm still hoping for it.

      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.
