Hey Angie, we're meeting at 4 p.m. You're close enough to me that I'd come get you if you like! Just give me a call; you have my #.

I didn't make it to the July gathering; so I'd have to run a sky-high fever to miss it tomorrow! Besides, this gives me a good reason to make cauliflower. :eek: John won't touch it, so I won't make it for just me.

Ok got the pictures posted. Check them out of the other thread....

Yes Dianne it last about an hour. It's not very big right now we sometimes get out earlier then there are sometime talkative people there and it sometimes goes over an hour.

Hope everyone had a great sunday. We went to see mom and dad again. My sister fixed us all lunch which was really nice. Not it's getting close to dinner time and I have NO idea what to do. Go figure.

Hope you all have a great night and good Monday. I have to work all day and then go to the support group meeting so not sure how much extra time I will have.

Anyone have anything exciting going on this week? We have a reunion this coming weekend @ the pool. It's the 22nd year we have had it.

Diane, you asked for it!

I still have diarrhea; it's been 10 days now. I don't feel sick outside of the 15 minutes 1-2 times a day the cramps and bathroom runs hit. I thought it was viral last week, because I had a headache and body aches for the first three days. Those are gone, but the diarrhea remains?

Work is super busy, and only going to get busier in the short term. I found out I'll be moving to Harris Blvd. the last week in August, rather than early to mid September. It makes little difference to me, except I have to box up and move everything (except my computer) myself.

I'm on vacation next week ... yippy! I do have a couple of doctors' appointments, but no biggie; they're allergy tests and my annual GYN exam.

I've discovered that I'm one of those women who's band restriction feels much tighter during their cycle. Now that it's over, my appetite is back with a vengence, and I feel wide open again. I'll ask for another fill as soon as Dr. V allows. It's only been 3 weeks since my 1st. Have I mentioned how much I love my band? :(

All in all, I'm fine as frog hair split 3 ways! My DH, DD, and SIL are all doing fine too.

Awright Dianne, I enjoyed Karen's recap so much I'll join the fun. (btw, Karen...10 days?!!!!)

Rachel's birthday is next week. It's a weekend of parties. Fri night she has 3 little 7yo girls coming over for a sleepover. Gotta clean the bonus room (just the excuse I need to get it done, or I'll put it off!) shop for a few gifts, gift bags for the girls, cake, etc. Sat night the family is coming over for dinner. My Mom is bringing a cake (too much cake!!!) and sunday afternoon she's having some kind of picnic with the kids next door and my sister is coming over that eveing for even more gifts. Geez. Waaaay too much going on next weekend! But then, school starts on Monday. whew! There went the summer!

There's a gal named Gloria who lives in the area. She was banded in MX last week. I'm hoping she'll come to lunch on the 9th. There's also Robyn from Fla who recently moved to Charlotte, she's been banded a good while and I'm hoping she'll come, too. One of these days we have GOT to get Denika here. And where's Court? Starr? and Greensboro-girl (blonde...ooooo whass'er name?!?) see, ya'll don't post or come to lunches...and I start forgetting names!!!!

Now, I KNOW we have lurkers. Come on people! Jump on in!

Oh I'm do glad your guys are talking! Karen I hope your feeling better!

Well fleas are gone. Lucy smells good she had a bath today. Ma got here yesterday and today we spent most of the day cleaning my pantry and the carpet. We had a real nice day. My nephew came by with is GF and her DD on thier way back to Albany NY. It was great seeing them.

Tomorrow Kelly is leasing JR high youth. She is writing the program and in charge of the whole night. She is nervous about it but I know she'll do great.

The 17th sounds like it might work. Ma leaves that day so I have to take her to the airport. I'm just not sure what time. I'll let you know.

Well I'm going to relax in front of the tv. I'm so full from dinner, it's nice when ma's here she loves to cook and I learn all kinds of stuff.

Dianne it great to hear you having a good time with your momma. I don't know what I would do if I didn't leave near my mom. I depend so much on her.

We had our family reunion yesterday and at first I thought it was going to be a bad turn out but it turned out really good considering the weather. Then mom and I get the pictures ready for granny's party so tha tast is done for next weekend. It was really neat finding so old pictures and seeing my grandmother so young and how much my family has changed over the years. We are going to do family pictures next saturday. That should be fund the last we had one was when Curtis was 6 months old.

Well we are off to early service and then heading to Carowinds - of course we have to take a change of clothes but that is ok....So have a great sunday and I will chat later.

Hope everyone is doing good!!!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
