I just couldn't get away to go. :P I even bought a new pink sweater.

Glad you all had a good time. Please let's try again. I'd love to meet everyone.

Well the wait is on now! My dietian released me yesterday so now I'm waiting for approval. I keep hearing different time frames, 10 days, to 3 weeks to a min of a month. This sucks! I prefer surgery end of Jan, I have so much traveling to do starting in March.

I decided to stay with the band. I desire pregnancy later so I believe this is the best option for me.

Last night was a lot of fun! Hi Debbie and Special K! It was quite interesting having the three of us at three different points in our journey sitting around the table sharing our stories and our thoughts on the whole process. Debbie looked amazing! To see her now, 6 months after her surgery you'd never think she'd even need to be banded... I hope I can say the same in 6 months!!!!

We definitely need to do it again... and soon. It's amazing how much my mentality shifted after our meeting. I've been struggling a bit with the band and still being on post-op food restrictions... but today I feel worlds better and I'm energized to get my negative thoughts removed from my head!

Thanks for arranging this Special K! When's our next meeting? Can we do it before you have surgery? :-)

Juli, we talked about you a bit last night. I was so hoping to meet you. We'll have to reschedule again soon. We were talking about maybe a Friday or Saturday if that works better for people's schedules.

Sunrise, that's great news! You're going through Fresh Start right? Will you join us at the support group meeting next week?

I think a weekend meeting would be great! I usually work Friday nights, but a Sat night would be wonderful. My Hubby would be able to watch the kids and I could get away for some Mommy-time! Are you thinking some time in Feb?

Ok! I am willing to try to arrange the next meeting. Special K... is that ok with you?

How does February 9th sound? It's a Saturday and we could try for Polaris again since it's pretty easy to get to and would be less crowded than Easton. However, I'm open to suggestions on meeting places.

If you're interested let me know what time you'd like to meet... we could do morning... afternoon... or evening.

I'm up for most anything!

Afternoon works good for me too... let's hear a few more voices and then we can set a time for a meeting on February 9th.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
