September Lunch



Recommended Posts

Tables of 12 sound great - hope they are prepared for lots of laughter and noise - I will be there at 12 and let's hope for no accidents on the 401 or 115. (I was 2.5 hrs late in August due to the 401 being closed).

Cindy

I am just a noisy nelly, I am really looking forward to meeting everyone on Sunday!

Not nosey at all! I'm coming in from Peterborough - I love to drive and this is a great excuse to meet some really wonderful people! My last trip I had Lori along and we ran into some trouble on the 401 - it made for a long trip, but Lori and I talked non-stop - not bad for two people who met in the parking lot. Unfortunately, I think Lori has to work steady weekends, so I'm on my own right now.

Dear Sue, Peter, Laurie, Lori, Nancy,Donna, Lisa, Andreea and everybody else who attended today.( I really do have menopause brain when it comes to names)

WHAT A HOOT! I had such fun, I am only sorry that I couldn't stay longer and mingle with you all... Next time, I'll drive myself and stay til the sweet ending.

DH was prompt picking me up and then we dashed off to the airport to take DD to terminal. She works M-Th in N. Carolina but home on the weekends.

It was so great to be able to tie in a morning visit with her and lunch with you guys...

DH ate my leftovers from lunch after he ate the dinner that I made tonight, curried chicken thighs & Veg. over basmati rice. Good thing he does an Hour on the rowing machine daily or else He'd need a lap band by next year.

Special thanks to the organizers!!!

I just wanted to say it was great to meet everyone yesterday. I'm so glad I came out to hear all the stories before my big banding day this Thursday. Everybody looked so happy!

Ooops! I thought I had posted my appreciation of the event yesterday right after I came home but now I don't see it. I must have hit the wrong button or something.... Anyhow, I want to say that I had tons of fun. It really was great to meet fellow banded folk and fun to meet the faces behind the cyber-names. :biggrin1:

A very big thank you, Donna D, for arranging this for us. I sure am looking forward to the next meeting of the banded ones. :Banane20: Be sure to bring your daughter, Donna D. She is a lovely person.

Lianna, you will be part of the clan and on mushies, I guess, by the time the next luncheon takes place. Good luck on your operation day. I hope that you will have very little gas. (Remember you can walk it off, eh. I forgot and spent the first 3 days in bed enjoying the lovely drugs instead. A dumb move on my part. I went through a lot of Gas-X! :omg: )

I also want to say thank you to my new friend who gave me very valuable advice on acid reflux. :Banane20:

And a huge appreciation goes to my friend, Lisa in TO. :) She gives me lifts to these affairs. We two are the city folk and I have never learned how to drive. :phanvan

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
