Central Ohio Get Together - June 14, 2008



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone!

Today's gathering was great! We had 3 new people join us and had a great discussion. I think this was the first meeting where EVERYONE was banded! It was much fun! I'm glad everyone was able to join us. We'll be meeting again next month and I would like to invite anyone that'd like to join us! Whether you are pre-band, newly banded or an old band pro. Everyone is welcome!

Where: Polaris Mall food Court

When: Saturday June 14, 2008

Time: 2 p.m.

Look for us near the entrance to the Great Indoors store. We will have a helium balloon marking our group.

All you have to bring is your smile... but if you want to you are welcome to bring outgrown clothes to share with those that might need/want them as well as a "before" picture to add to our group photo album.

I hope to see you there!!!!

If anyone's interested in having another get together at some point before the 14th please let me know. I have a HUGE box of clothes that I forgot to share today and I'd love to let you guys at them! There's a big mix of stuff including summer. Most are sized 20-26.

Let me know if anyone's interested. :-)

Niki,

The only day that might be dicey for me is the 7th. That night we're having my daughter's graduation party. On the other hand, I might be able to skip out on some cleaning and drop by for a while if you pull something together :-)

The evenings work for me also, so count me in if you get something going :-)

Hey Heather. Looks like I might be able to make the meeting. I would also be interested in summer items.

Melisa

Melisa, that's great that you might join us! I'll have my box of clothes ready and waiting :-)

Hi Girls, I am on vacation and went shopping because I had nothing to wear I was buying size 14's and some 16's which I thought was great

!!! Then I went into this little botique and was looking around and the sales person asked me what size I wore and I said a 14 well she brought me a 12 and told me to try that on and I did and low and behold it fit!! I was so excited that I bought the whole outfit. Then the next day I had to go back and buy a pair of shoes to go with it. I am so excited to be able to shop in the little specialty botiques and get expensive but very cute clothes. Something I have not been able to do for a long long time. You guys have to check the onesole.com you can buy one pair and change the tops to fit your outfit!!! It felt so good to reward myself for my year of weightloss. We all work hard at out weightloss so we deserve a treat!!! Can't wait to see you all in June. I am going to have to put on new pic on in my new clothes!!! Hope everyone is doing well and I know I will see less of all of you in June!

Oh my gosh Heather. I just now found this thread! I was wondering if you'd made a new one or not. I wonder if everyone else knows it's here.

I am not sure if I'll be able to make it. Depends on how many I can gather up to go in on gas with me!! Don't count me out just yet though!

I would be interested in some summer clothes as well if anyone has any. My 24's are falling off of me! YAY! Not that I'm complaining!

Hey guys!! Just wondering who's thinking of joining us this weekend. We'll most likely be located in the area between Chik-fil-a and the Great Indoors. Look for a Class of 2008 balloon marking our spot (I'm borrowing it from my daughter :-) )

I hope to see many of you there...

Turler, I hope you can make it! I'll have to see where my hubby put my clothes box and see what I have to bring with me. I'm in desperate need of size 16/18 shorts myself if anyone has any to share!

Jill, I hope you can make it too! I can't wait to see your newly banded self :-) This month's FS meeting (June) has been canceled... however many of us are meeting at CapCity that day for a un-official FS meeting. Let me know if you'd like to join us and I'll make sure they up the reservation by one. (Don't worry about eating... I'll most likely just be having Water myself)

P.S. Kathy, I'll miss you... this is the first meeting you won't be at since January!!! Have fun in Florida and I'll see you at the end of the month!

Heather -- look at you go girl! 64 lbs on your ticker today! Congratulations!

Thanks Kathy! It's getting a bit harder the further out I get but I'm plugging along!!!

Hey, can you re-send me your phone number. I figured out why I keep losing it... my phone syncs with my computer and I had it set to overwrite everything on the phone with what was on the computer... so all the info I put into the phone was lost. It just happened again... sigh

Thanks!

I will miss you guys! Have a good meeting!

We'll miss you too... seems like forever since we've been together! Hope to see you later this month!

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
