We'll be thinking of you! I am sure that I speak for more than myself when I say that I already 'feel' I know you... just from reading your encouraging posts.

Take care,

C

Thanks peaches. Just sour grapes on my part because I so envy the personal support you all enjoy. TLBC is trying very hard to assist me (and others out in the boonies). Had a call yesterday and had a one on one consult with the dietician. She really helped me get my head back on straight. Anyway have a great time and have an extra celery stick for me. Doddie

You are helping by responding. I was at aqua fit the other day and went into diabetic shock. LOL, I have lost enough weight that the meds are too strong so I have been reduced yet again. However, I am only loosing .85 lbs per week and it seem so slow compared to others and I have been getting down on myself.

So the call from the TLBC was great.

The doctor is keeping a loose fill - only 5 ccs as I am loosing weight and he doesn't want more fill until I stop loosing weight. With the loose fill, there is less chance of PBing as I am a gulper. When I get that under control then I probably will get more fill. Only PB 3 times in November better than every day when I first had the band.

Anyway thanks for the support - really appreciate it. Doddie

Hi guys,

YES! I will be there tonight and can't wait to meet you all. It has been adventurous to say the least in the last couple of weeks since I have been on the board. I got my fill but in a few days it got too tight. I tried and tried to stick with it, but I was hardly able to eat, PBing almost every meal. The morning that I work up (last friday) and could barely swallow my saliva, I called and got in for a defill. Wow - what a difference - sweet spot? Might just be.

I ran into Jill that Friday and she told me about the boot camps she will be running in January - I told her that is exactly what I need. She told me to make an appt with her. I went back to my office, emailed her and she said why wait? I will start you on boot camp right away! I went in to see her this Wednesday and she was AMAZING!!! So supportive, gave me some good tips to deal with my hectic lifestyle right now and weighed me in. Since my schedule is so crazy, instaed of making an appt for next week, she said just to call her and she will fit me in. Fabulous support! I feel better all ready and am losing weight again!!!! I know that I can do this know - it seems like she was a very important piece of the puzzle that was missing for me.

Anyways - so looking forward to tonight - to seeing all of you wonderful people. Bringing my non banded husband along- you will see that he does not require a band). Are you guys getting dressed up??

Well, it sure was great to meet all the on-line folks in Real Time. :) And I met some very nice people who don't live on-line at all, something which an addict like moi finds very odd. I bet their houses are much cleaner than my own dump! :girl_hug:

It was a fun party. :P And someone gave me an extra drinks ticket. How cool is that? :clap2:

Yep, let's do it, grrl! As you know, I am another downtowner and depend upon the TTC or my good friend, Lisa in Toronto, to get around. I adore walking in the urban wilderness and because I am retired I am free most of the time. Let's make it be so, eh. :girl_hug:

      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.
