I have a pretty flexible schedule for the next meeting or time as I'm single and don't have kids or spouse conflicts to work around so whatever you pick will probably work for me.

I say Polaris is probably a good bet. For consistency and ease of finding it and for Angie driving in from up north! :eek:

Ok! Since it seems that Saturday afternoon is the best bet for most of us why don't we plan to meet at Polaris in the food court at 2pm on Saturday February 9th?

Special K... will you bring the balloon and poster again? We'll be co-planners :-)

Does that sound good for everyone?

Yep, I'll bring along the poster I made and a helium balloon so you can all look for the balloon to find us. Last meeting we were just in front of Great Indoors where it was a little less noisy and less crowded but just pick a spot, we'll find each other with the balloon.

ok it is marked on my calendar with a sharpie!!!!! I can't wait to meet you all. On a biggest loser team at work weigh-in is Monday.I think it is cool my work is doing this to encourage a healthier life style they even gave us a week with a personal trainer. I haven't used that yet as I am taking classes at the Y 4 days a week. I wonder what my team gets if they win? I have really been working hard exercising 4 days a week and logging everything I eat and my scale seems to be stuck. I hope it decideds to move down on Monday.

Angie, log in Polaris Shopping Place...that's the mall. Or log in "The Great Indoors" which will put you right next to the food court. It is right off of 71, before you get to the outer belt of 270.

I can't wait to meet everyone.

Hi HeatherA,

Yes, I'm with Fresh Start! I'm nervous and was expecting to have my information sent to insurance no longer than Thurs. But they were faxed on Friday evening. Meaning Monday, so I guess the wait starts tomorrow. Yes, I would love to attend the support group because I need that support really bad.

Looks like Feb 9th is the day at Polaris. You can email me also: shotoftequila2003@yahoo.com

I'm so glad that you are doing better, I look forward to meeting with everyone!

Especially those of you going to Riverside. The staff will be joining the group too. Plus you can ask those who were banded before you!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
