Any Kailua High Grads here?

Aloha No from one Tita now in VA! I just had my lapband surgery July 16th...20 lb loss so far. I am sooooo homesick & just thought I might find some old friends in here.  Maybe some former Madrigals that have joined the wls trek?

Aloha Ahiahi! Well I am not a Madrigal, but I am a Kailua Grad and wanted to stop in and say Hi!  I am still living here in Hawaii and pray this hurricane turns away from our island.   Awesome job on the weight loss so far.  I too had lapband, but my surgery was in April 04 and I have lost a total of 115, but recently put a few pounds back on, so I am working hard to get it off again and this time keep it off. How long have you been away from home?  Is there anything I can send you to make you not be soo homesick? Aloha, Linda

Aloha Linda!  115 lbs???  Wow!!!!  You go, seestah!!!! You asked how long I've been away from my beloved islands....too long!!!  Last time I was home was back in the mid-90s on a business trip.  Imagine that...my job FORCED me to go home for 10 days...how terrible, yeah? LOL As for what you could send me...let's see....some kalua pig, about a dozen laulau with fresh poi, of course, about a ton of manapua (gotta share with my haole hubby, don'tcha know)...oh what the heck..just send an entire luau!!!!  Yeah, that would do me for awhile.  Oh wait...I almost forgot...hinode rice (cuz da rice on da mainland junk!!!), & some sweet whole seed, & some lemon peel, oh yeah & some guavas (no mo ovah hea).  Ok, that should do me for now.  So what you tink?  Can????   LOL  yeah, right....like I could even eat any of that stuff now.  Sheesh! So I grad 1972  (yeah, I'm an old futt)...how 'bout you? Aloha,

Yes 115 with the lapband and I am very happy!  You can do it also!! What a mean job to send you to paradise for 10 days.  Can't they do that again?  What company is that that sent you way over here?  So do you still have family here on the islands? Well I don't think you could eat all that food in one sitting, but I am sure you could eat a little kalua pig and poi for one meal, then some poi and laulau's for another meal.  I am not sure about the manapua though, I have a hard time with breads, but you might be different.  I also have a hard time with rice, so I won't send any of that for you.  Every household needs lemon peel for sore throats.  Not sure you want the sweet whole seeds though......since you can only eat small portions now, I will just send more pig since it's protein.

I graduated in 85, just a few years after you....LOL

Aloha,

Linda
