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!

I met Heather through Riverside. We have our own Columbus group going now. (and the girl from Cleveland is MORE than welcome!) We can post pics in the group. If you are interested: stop by! 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!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
