So me and green want to know -- who's coming??? Susan Silver, hope to finally meet you in person.

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

Oh Doddie; you kinda sound down? Are you o.k.? What troubles are you having.... can I help

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??

Susan: I am sooo glad to finally be able to meet you in person tonight- I'm going with "Green" , Her dh is working, and I'm a single girl (but looking).:eyebrows:

I don't have anything dressy that fits, so I will not be dressed up tonight.

See you there!

Lisa - I am trying hard not be jealous of your weight loss and the fact that "nothing fits"!!!!

Can't wait to meet you and Green!!! And Peaches and the Yodas and everyone!!!

Only Green's attitude will be semi-formal. :heh:

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. And someone gave me an extra drinks ticket. How cool is that? :clap2:

Green, it was so great to meet you! Now I know that not only are you smart and funny, you are beautiful too! Let's get together again soon!

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:

Grrrrrrrl fest, eh? Sounds wery, wery good to Green. :biggrin1:

By the way lisa in To, I tried emailing you earlier today but was rejected. This reminded me of my sex life. An interesting time in my life but kind of fraught, eh. Bwahhahahahah! :heh:

I think I am gonna give you a PM instead. :confused:

How was the TLBC bash? Not much was said. Was there alot of people there etc. ?Hopefully next year i can go.
