Aloha,

Any local folks did the band already or considering the band?

Let's talk story... please introduce yourself here and share your stories...

Mahalo..

Aloha,

Jennifer called me today to say that they are not doing my surgery on the 18th it will be on the 26th. I am a little bit sad but it will give me more time to get all my work done.

Is anyone going on Wednesday night?

Natasha

Actually, i did that guilt free. I feel at social events, i am going to eat some things, just smaller portions. My real issue is chocolate. OMG, i has some bags for baby's party and left overs in my frig,... well, im slowing hacking away at it. Now, that i feel guilty about, but hey, i have a little too...

Miriam

Hi there,

I didn't get to say hello to people last night and screen names and real name and faces didn't click. Miriam, you won the Lateral Thigh Trainer. That was from me, Siri. You were suppose to get a video, but Jennifer told me she gave it away by mistake as a gift. Someone is going to be awfully surprised when they get an instructional tape they don't know what to do with.

I am not sure I recognized anyone, really sorry. Hope you all had fun!

Aloha Ladies,

Sorry we missed some of you. Glad to finally meet you Suri. I met Tashie and we sat together. You ladies didnt get to meet Kathleen and Nancy who were there and sitting in the back. I think maybe you were sitting with them Suri. I didnt notice anyone else, but if you were there let us know so we can put the face with the name... Thanks so much for the gift Suri. I also got a beautiful salt, pepper, oil and vinegar set too... I hope you are all doing well ..

Miriam:bounce:

Gosh, how did you know I gave the Pier One V&O, Salt&Pepper things? Did I put my name on the grab bag gift? Oops. There was the matching canister someone else got at the last table next to me. I gave that one to Brenda so she wouldn't have to go out shopping. Wow Miriam, you just got all the gift from me last night.

By the way, was there a tape inside that box? I think that the one Jennifer gave away was my copy that I gave in case the box didn't have one.

The ladies sitting with me, I wasn't sure if they were from this Thread or not. I thought so, but not everyone looks like their picture and some of you all don't have pictures out there.

I saw where you were sitting, kind of next to / in front of Phyllis. Where was Tashie sitting?

Siri

Tashie was sitting to the left of me and I was in front of Phyllis.She's a riot. This says to me that it was ment to be and that i must give you something in return... funny how these things work... Nancy was the middle school counselor that got up towards the end and Kathleen, i dont remember her talking. She may have left by then...

Miriam

Aloha All,

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to you all. I hope you are enjoying the shopping and all the good things that come with the holidays. Enjoy your time with family and friends. Be blessed...

Miriam:)

I hope everyone has a happy holidays. Wednesday is my surgery. I am excited and scared.

I am sure I will be posting after for support.

Enjoy your Christmas.

Natasha

You will do just fine Tashie. All the best. Hope you all had a wonderful Xmas. Hey, let's check in Jan 2008. We should make a afternoon hookup at the mall. See how we are doing and compare notes... Let me know when you ladies are free...

Miriam

I came home from the hospital today. I am a little sore, but not hungry at all just really thirsty.

I would love to hook up at the mall. Let me know when and where.

How long did everyone stay home after surgery? I think I want to stay home for two weeks, my job is really stressful and I am constantly on the go.

Happy New Year.

Natasha:clap2:

Good to hear from ya Tashie. I hope the pain goes away soon. I had my surgery on a Tuesday and went back on Monday. I was fine before the weekend anyway, but didnt want to run around at work. I am a therapist and i work with teens. What kinda work do you do??

Miriam

I am a social worker with Child Welfare, I also work with teens. My job is really stressful I think I need at least a week or so off.

I feel better today. I am not hungry still.

Hats off to you. I know you need a week off. That is one job i know i can't do. Certainly need to recover well without job stress. I just talked to one other person i know thats had surgery with our doctor, who works with kids too. She had to have a RNY to fix a prior surgery she had in the 80s. Her surgery took 6 hrs and she ended up in the hospital 2x for complications. She is just now seeing kids after nearly 3 weeks.

miriam

Happy New Year Everyone.

Same to you and to all.
