Topic: Happy Birthday to "Someone"?!?
Yesterday after a horrible day at work I managed to drag my still recovering self (I still can't hear and am really tired) over the sky bridge and into the gym. I walked 3.5 miles and burned 460 calories. Yeah! for me, except that I looked,um, well let's just say that the children at Lilith's school didn't run away screaming when I walked in to pick her up but I sure didn't get any of them coming up and trying to talk to me like they usually do.
I got this great idea to try this Japanese restaurant on the way home. Will was against it. I offered to allow him to go in first and if he didn't like what he saw, we could gladly turn around and go somewhere else. He refused so we went in. It was bad folks. It was so bad that they had a cake on the buffet line that had still had "Happy Birthday" written on it, the name part was already gone. So Will started singing, Happy Birthday to "Someone". Lilith joined in. I wanted to die but considering the food was so bad (I had mistakenly thought it might be healthier than Chinese food) and the fish tanks that made up the inside wall of the booths(which had the potential to be beautiful and even were still awe inspiring in a sad way)were so moss and alga filled that I wanted to rescue the fish in them, I knew we wouldn't be back. So, let my husband and daughter sing, the restaurant should have been embarrassed to put someones obviously unclaimed birthday cake out on their buffet line anyway. What made me sadder was the $40 we basically threw away. Lilith ate some noodles and some of the sad birthday cake. I ate some shrimp, tried their soup (which was basically water and cabbage), the salad bar was just a lettuce bin and some dressings (seriously that was all it had), and I was afraid to try the sushi after the one roll I attempted to eat was warm and mushy.
Will ate some tough boiled meat and some fish. I refuse to believe that the best salad bar in town is at the Hospital where I work but it is starting to look that way.
Maybe I should try to look on the positive side, "Hey I get to eat at the best salad bar in town and even get a discount 5 days a week!"...um not buying it.
At least I am going on 3 year post op and able to eat salad again.

Topic: LITTLETON SUPPORT GROUP MEETING THIS THURSDAY
I hope the last couple of weeks have been good to you!
We will be having another meeting at Starbucks on Thursday 5/14/09 from 6:30 to 7:30 and for those of you that would like to come early and walk around the lake at Clement Park - we meet in the Starbucks parking lot at 5:30. I have a couple of phone calls in the works to find a new location and am waiting to hear back from them. In the mean-time we will be meeting at Starbucks. If the weather permits and our group is a bit too large for inside Starbucks – we will be moving the meeting outside this week. Just in case we don’t find a location with seating…. If you have a lawn chair put it in your car so you have it if you need it. Please RSVP so I know how many to expect! Thanks and I will see you Thursday! Yvonne

Topic: Prayers requested please!
Hi all,
I'm just writing to ask for prayers please. My husband came down very very sick yesterday and we took him to the ER. He has a blood clot that was in his leg and moved to his groin and thank God stopped there. He also has a severe infection called cellulitis in one leg which made his fevers spike to over 103 many times. He is in the ICU right now and getting the best help there is available. Thanks for all your prayers.

Topic: New! Believe chai ready to drink protein
I would love to give this a try... I really would. With 20 grams of protein, 120 calories per serving (9.5 fl ounces), 0 grms fat, 5 grms of carbs, and 3.5 grms of sugar..it sounds like it would be great. It's even not that expensive $29.99 per case which works out to roughly $2.50 each which when you consider what most people spend on their daily Starbucks drink..it doesn't sound like much at all. Heck, even a chai at the cafeteria where I work is more than that! I am ready to order then I see the "calculate shipping button". I enter my zip code and there is where things go horribly wrong....their cheapest shipping option (UPS 2nd day air) is $55.70 for one case! The only other option, UPS next day air, is $96.80!!!! I cannot justify spending more on the shipping than I am on the product itself! Another hidden cost for living in Alaska! Or so I thought till I entered my mothers Colorado zip code and was quoted the exact same rates! So I went to their shipping information page and am greeted with...
"Shipping and Other Information You're not spending... you're investing in your health!"
If that isn't saying, "Hey, we know our shipping costs are outrageous", I don't know what is!
Then if you scroll down further you get the following disclaimers about their shipping...

Topic: Just Wondering...
Has anyone had WLS covered by Humana in Colorado?
The reason why I ask is a customer rep from Humana told me on Friday that Colorado is one of the states that Humana does not cover WLS in under NO cir****tances. I know I was told WLS was excluded from my policy in Dec. 2007, but didn't pursue it. I had RNY paid out of pocket - but wondering if it's true about the entire state.
Thanks,
Jana
