Gosh I've missed all of you. Have been off work for the last several weeks with severe bronchitis and upper respiratory infection. Actually needed to be on oxygen and have nebulizer treatments with a respiratory therapist three times a day. Was sleeping 16+ hours a day too. Took me two weeks just to read a book, couldn't concentrate on anything. Back to work part-time this week and hopefully full-time next week.

Glad to hear the board is busy, New Hope, I promise I'll write down the crab dip recipe for you and get it to you next week. We are headed to friends for Thanksgiving as no-one wanted me to "make such a big effort" since I'm still recuperating.

Saw Dr. McKeen and got another fill (now at 2.5). I think this is perfect. I was eating too many "feel good" foods when I wasn't feeling good and actually put on 8 pounds (have lost 6 of them already so I think it might have been partly from the prednisone they had me on). This is snug, but no PBing, and making me eat slower and better foods which is what I needed.

Hi to everyone I met in Las Vegas. I really enjoyed the trip and loved meeting all you wonderful (but a little crazy/fun) group. Welcome all you new bandsters to an exciting journey and great group of people here.

Will come back next week and give you all an update. Michelle, glad to hear you are doing so well. Expect a box of size 14 clothes after the first of the year. 12's are OK but some pants aren't as comfortable as I like and I know you'll be there soon! Hope your son is doing well and still think positive thoughts for you and your family.

Vera, glad no leaks and no re-surgery needed. Will talk to you soon.

Keep in touch.

Thanks for all the messages. Just wanted to add that Rusty and I met Rebeccalee (Becky) and her husband for dinner. What wonderful people and I can't wait to see them again. She is doing so great. Of course we split a crabcake appetizer and it was plenty. She lives in Eureka and is in the Bay Area occasionally so I hope we can really do this again.

Again, you guys are wonderful, helpful, caring, giving and loving people. I give thanks for being part of this group. Happy Thanksgiving.

Nice to see you, Carol, even after you tried killing me with your famous margueritas! Actually, I've been looking for you because I need the exact recipe. I'd like to store some in my freezer for my next wingding (I promise to go slow this time.) Hope you're feeling better, bronchitis is the worst.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
