Come join us. We are bandsters without a local support group, and we're going to meet, say hi, and chat about possibly starting our own group.

We are meeting this Wednesday December 13 at 6:30 PM at Humble City Cafe near the SE corner of the intersection of 1960 and 59, on Main Street.

Let me know if you're coming and I'll make a reservation in the name of Bandsters.

I miss Barbara. How dare her employer take away everybody's internet time!

Is anybody else still out there? where's our norhteast group? where are our Beaumont teachers? Sniff......

I am looking forward to meeting all you guys on the 12th. How will I know who you are? Do we all wear purple flowers in our hair. (ha-ha).

It will be the table WITHOUT the pan of cornbread! LOL

So what you are telling me is to Not Follow My Nose.

O.K. I can do that. :hungry:

Glad to see all of you posting. Biker grammy you and I talked a while back. I'm going to Spiegel's support meeting on the 20th. A chef from University Hospital is the speaker. If you want we can meet and I'll drive us there. I ride the bus to town and back so it's no big deal for me to do my usual routine and then meet up with you and go.

I'm planning on being there on the 12th. I will be getting a fill that day with Dr. Spiegel so I won't be able to eat. However, some nice hot tea will do me. I'll see you at 6:30.

Dick and I love La Villa. I just work it in my plan. Our doctor says its OK just don't get carried away. However, I do love those chips and queso. I count cheese as protein and don't worry about the calories so much. The big thing is to eat as normal as possible, but in smaller amounts. That being said, if you eat lots of high caloric foods than you probably won't lose very much or very fast.

I miss you guys as well. You can PM me and sometimes I do see that at work. Just make sure I know of the meetings!! I think La Villa once a month for our meetings is OK. That night we can have the husbands and when we go to the cafe we can go solo. Dick has a meeting in Kingwood on Mondays at 7:15 so going earlier to La Villa is good.

Our table will have a sign on it that says BANDSTERS. And it will be near the entry.

Having the sign on the table is a good ideal, BUT, seeing how I am from the Humble area and NOBODY knows about me having surgery it could get me busted!!!!!!!!!

Suzanne. :clap2:

SORRY

Thanks Barbara, I would love to follow you to the group meeting. I do not get out much with me working from home. If it is not in Humble than it out of my reach. And yes I have lived here all my 50 years.

Ok. I'll put up a blank sign. You'll be sure to find us!

Thanks, that works for me.

I think I will be able to find you ladies, just look for the happy people.

Hello Everyone:

I haven't posted lately to this thread, but I got banded by Dr. Spiegel on 3/1. I see the next meeting is on the 12th, I will not be able to make it, will be camping with the kids in Waller, TX at the Yogi Park. We will be leaving @ 1pm on Monday and returning on Wednesday.

Will look for the date of the next meeting.

Congrats bikergirl! You are brave taking the kids camping so soon after surgery. :girl_hug: At least you won't have to worry about what you can eat since you will be on liquids and maybe some mushies.

I could never do it alone - My DH, His brother and family, his sister and family and a cousin and family - about 8 adults and 8 kids. We are staying in cabins (2 families each). We are going to the grocery store and I've already told them I can only have slimfast, and CREAMY soups, they were very supportive about getting my type of food. Although I wish I would have waited to be banded because there menu is to die for......maybe it's a good thing I am banded. I can do this.

I will not cheat.I will not cheat. I will not cheat. I will not cheat. I will not cheat. I will not cheat.
