Thursday March, 22nd @ 6pm. I was told by Billie that Dr Sabobathy is going to be there this month. I'm not sure yet if I can make it but I'm going to try.

I believe it's every 4th Thursday of the month at 6. That's why I always miss it - I get it in my head that it's the last Thursday.

I think I was at that meeting. Didn't we have a little Christmas party that day? I would have been sitting with Hollie.

As to where everyone is I don't know. A few months ago we were all posting nearly every day. Personally I hit a bit of a weightloss slump and think I sort of allowed that to cause me to withdraw a bit. Ofcourse that's probably when I needed to be connecting with others the most. My scale still isn't really moving so I'm trying to get myself reconnected to the group and shape up.

I'm planning on trying to make this months meeting. I'll most likely bring my 3 year old son with me this month.

Good Luck at your appointment today Chantay!! Sure hope you get an early surgery date!!

Diane....I could be wrong, but I thought the meeting this week was going to be in the same room that the seminars are held in? (Is this the room by the gift shop?) I'm not familiar with SMMC, and when I went to the seminar, I parked on the wrong side of the building and had to have someone walk me to the room.....that was a long walk!! Maybe if I park there again Thursday night, that will count towards my walking goals?? LOL

The room by the gift shop that we were using for meetings is not the one where the seminars are held but the group was getting so big Bobbie had said a few months ago she planned on moving it to the same room as the seminars so I bet you are right. Thanks for the heads up. I wouldn't mind using it for my own walking goals but I'm usually late as it is, and I'll most likely have my 3-year old son in tow this time.

;) OK make me look it up on the site will you? I probably should have checked there to begin with.

Yup, that is the the same room as the seminars. The parking lot (if still there with all the construction) is on the far east side of the building.

The other room was in the middle of the building so to speak. And with the construction going on I usually parked on the far west side and walked across to it. Would have been quite the hike all the way over to the seminar room.

And what happened to Sabobathy being there this month? Must have had that wrong as well.

Hey girls!! My appt went great my surgery date is 5 weeks away!! April 25th at 830am I cant wait!!! I had a nightmare last night that I showed up for my appt and I had went to the RR and came back peaked around the corner and saw Nola sitting at her desk talking to someone she looked at me and shook her head no...then she told me she would have to reschedule my appt...FOR NO REASON!! I was so upset and crying I told her I had to get off work for this appt...LOL oh the anxiety LOL I also drempt that there was like a clothes closet where people were getting to pick clothes for themselves from people who no longer needed that size..I guess that dream was due to the clothing exchange posted for the other RNY group before...but I could sure use some clothes if anyone has any HUGAMUNGO ones they dont need anymore...I will be happy to give up my old ones when I dont need them anymore...cant wait till that day!!! See you all tomorrow~Chantay

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
