Thought I would start a thread for us local folks so we could exchange information about our meetings and local happenings. Our meetings are getting so big. See everyone Monday night.

Why would that be depressing??? If I kept one, I would be depressed about how much I could eat. And wouldn't be a small quantity. I just measure out what I eat and when it's gone, that's it until the next meal. But, I am caving in. I know most of it is head hunger and thats a big problem. I can't seem to conquer that one! But, one of these days! And then there are those days where I want a hershey bar, but I won't get into that. grrrrr

yea chocolate goes down nice and smooth

Hey Susan! I think I just might have some restriction today!

Believe it or not..... I haven't been hungry all day. That is sooo cool. Went to Wally World this morning and got one of those bands everyone was talking bout. I think I got one for the Incredible Hulk, cause it's hard to pull. By next month, I will look like muscle woman! lol

later,

lisa

Hi all,

I'm a new bandster from Omaha and would be interested in this group. Can you give me more info. I was banded in Monterrey, Mexico on March 19 so I'm still in the clear liquid stage. Of course I may never find this site again even is I have it bookmarked. Linda

most of us have had the surgery in texarkana by either dr. hekier or dr kalien which is a husband and wife team they have a website and i think they may do fills for people who had sx in mexico we have a support meeting in mp at the hospital. the web site for the drs.. is noscales.com

lisag and i post alot on the thread and also on the texarkana thread(just use the search button up at the top of the heading). i check in on the this thread most days and i think lisa does to if we can help just post or send us a pm good luck with your band journey!!

Hi Linda, welcome aboard. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask. We will try to help anyway we can.

Hey, Mt. Pleasant Bandsters, I would sure be interested in finding out more about your meetings like when and where. I was banded a week ago and feel I will need as much support as I can get. I live in Omaha, just down the road a ways. From what I've heard about people here in Omaha/Naples we have several people who have been banded. Please let me know more info and if anyone banded can come.

lls

the suport meeting is the 3rd monday of each month and it is in the hospital on the ground floor and i think any bandster can come but i try to find out more info

lisa

how is the restriction???

What time are the meetings in Mt. Pleasant?

they start at 7:00

Susan, don't ask.... I have wanted to eat the house down this weekend. I think head hunger strikes again. BUT today is a new day and I have made a promise to myself to do better. How's yours?

LLS, how are you this morning? Just being a week out, I guess you are doing the liquid thing still?

Talk to yall later!

Hi all,

Today is a challenge in a way. I have an in home daycare and this is my first day with kids. Lucky for me only half showed up today. It's almost time to fix their lunches. That was one of the big reasons I got so big because I'd eat whatever they didn't. I'm keeping juice and plenty of water available so I don't accidently put something in my mouth. Can we chew sugar free gum? I believe that would help me at this time.
