Topic: re: Healthy Changes Aug 17th
I had RNY surgery in 2004. I have been associated with 2 support groups: Healthy Beginnings & Healthy Journey for the last 5 years. The 1st was at St. Paul'****heran Church on Silverside Rd, the 2nd at Victory Church in New Castle. We have a meeting that is not as rigidly structured as PMRI. We talk about issues and share info on everything and anything we want to talk about. Helps to keep us focused and positive. We meet the 3rd Tuesday night of the month. When we lost our last venue, I looked to Christiana Hospital to supply us a place to meet and WOW we got lucky and got Room #1 at the Hospital, Ammon Ctr, just left of the main entrance. 6pm til 8pm Tuesday August 17th. Bring 2 healthy recipe's to share.
If you can't make it this month, put us on the calendar for September.
Hope to see you.

Topic: RE: DMV License Photo
i love your post!
because i was starting to feel weird about having my surgery (8/09/10!!!!) because a really RUDE coworker implied i was "cheating" ... ? It is exactly just what you said- a tool to help reach an amazing goal and IT IS OUR SUCESS not the WLS.
I am totally planning on getting a new drivers license photo before i have to renew. because of the hopeful weight loss AND because i am very angry in the photo. that was not a great day at the DMV.
and p.s. i actually have used the wrong shovel to dig out a garden plot- learned that leason!
I hope everyone has continued sucess!

I really got a lot of info out of that meeting. But oddly, on Tuesday, I was hungrier than usual. LOL 
Today I am back to "normal"

Topic: RE: DMV License Photo
hi
i waited until it was time to renew my license before i got the new pic. after losing 210lbs my pic was questioned anytime the person requesting it actually looked at it. when i traveled to
see my sister i was sure i would be stopped but i sailed right thru security. i finally got
my new license this past may ... it was my turn to get my new pic....the man taking the pic looked at the old license for comparrison and said to me...."lose a little weight?" i stopped telling people that i had WLS when they ask how i lost the weight for 2 reasons.... 1st: it took me 2yrs and alot of hard work and exercise.... and 2nd: it is my sucess not the surgery.... the surgery was
just the right tool to reach my goal just as the right shovel would help me reach my goal of
planting a new garden.... i could still have my garden without the shovel but it would have taken me longer and it might not have ever been finished the way i wanted it to. the surgery was the best tool i ever got for myself and i am still using it today 3yrs later and 210lbs and still going
for more.....
