Las Vegas January Meetup - Sat, Jan 24 @ 1pm



Recommended Posts

Hello and Happy New Year! Welcome to 2009 and a renewed opportunity to do the best you can to reach your goals!

I'd like to get as many people as we can to re-start our meetup group after the holiday slow-down.

WHEN: Saturday, January 24, 2009 at 1:00pm

WHERE: PF Chang's in Summerlin, on the corner of Charleston and Rampart

Take 215 to Charleston and head East, or take Summerlin Parkway to Rampart and head South; near Whole Foods, Barnes & Noble, and not far from Rampart Casino or the JW Marriot (I am a landmark person).

I chose PF Chang's again as an oldie, but goodie, and to speed the process along. They have lots of options from which to choose healthy meals, and they are not all necessarily one type of food or another.

Hope to see you there!

Felicia

Meshelle, they have Soup, fish, chicken, veggies.... something for everyone! (That said, Soup 6 months out? Are you saying you can't eat normal food? Maybe you are too tight?)

I am going to keep it Saturday for now, but like Cassy, I am flexible, so we'll see how it goes.

I met a guy last night who had the surgery a year ago and could use support and a kick in the pants to get motivated again. I told him about our lunch and he and his wife may join us.

My mom and I are recent newcomers to the world of Lap Band. She had her surgery 12/15 and I had mine 12/18. We'd love to come and meet with others who are further down the road.

We both had Dr Atkinson from the SWCC do our surgeries.

Thanx, Felicia. I am really trying to knock off a few more pounds for my 1 year band day. I'm having a blast swimming & hiking. Mostly Death Valley, also Red Rocks, Zion + Valley of Fire. I came into town for the Wed. night meeting. I'll catch up with all in Feb. Hasta Pronto, George:thumbup::laugh::thumbup:

Felicia!

Thanks for the welcome. Mom and I will be there with bells on. Did anyone else have their surgery at SWCC? I tried to mention this get together at the last meeting but no one seemed to have heard me. There was probably at least 30 people or more at the support group.

Yes, quite a few of us had it with SWCC and some that did not have their fills and after care there. We're a mixed bunch, but we're good people!

See you in a few hours!

      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!!
