Tuesday Coffee Everyone !!!!

Good Morning Michigan, Looks like things are back to normal around here. Deb is working and choirs are done. Drinking S/F Vanilla Carmel De Caf. What's in your cup?

Why did you come to this site out of all the other site? What does this form have that others don't?

Why? Good Friends and a Great group of people like you all..... Marry Christmas and a Happy New Year

The Q for the day.......
Do you like the new look and feel of the site?

It's going to take a few day to learn where they moved thing ....lol

Morning Randy!
WOW what a wakeup when I logged on to the new site. I guess it will take time to get used to the new look. But, I like it.

This forum feels like family to me. That's why I like it so much...

Will be going to the gym, then its a skinny cinnamon dolce latte, decaf for me from Starbucks......

Deb

Good for you for going to the gym on this cold morning!  Starbucks has become my reward for actually getting my butt to the gym.  It helps to have something to look forward to!

I must be sleeping because I didn't realize anything had changed until I read Randy's post.

Honestly, I ended up here because people in my support group were talking about "OH".  They said it was full of crazy people that tell you how to "cheat" your surgery and do all kinds of bad stuff.  I had to see for myself!  When I got here I just found a pretty nice group of people.  No one ever does anything crazy.  What's up with that???  LOL

I think they must have been talking about some of the more controversial boards, not specifically the MI one.  I had already had my surgery when I found the board, but it was nice to read about other people. 

I'm drinking water and eating soy nuts.  They are kind of gross but have some protein in them.

Keep in mind today as you're complaining that it's too cold....there are so many people that don't have shelter or warm clothes.  I'm so thankful today that I have a job and a warm coat and car!

Morning all!!
The new set up is OK- just have to get used to it.
I joined this site about a year or so before my surgery.  I always looked at the before and after pics.  Then found the MI site and met ALOT of great people!! (and some not so great..lol)
Tonight is my late night at work so I do not go in till 10am.
This cold weather makes me even more excited to be leaving for Mexico next month!!!
Stay warm and have a great day all!

S-

Good morning!

Drinking a fake vanilla latte this morning, as usual.  Had some baked oatmeal for breakfast on the drive into work today.

Why do I come here?  When I was fighting my insurance company for surgery I spent a lot of time on OH and did a ton of research about my WLS.  The support and compassion I received during those long months really helped me get through some tough emotional times of waiting and fighting.  So I come back here to pay-it-forward to those who are coming behind me.  I'm thankful for the veterans of WLS and hope I can be of some help to others as well.

So far I'm liking the new site layout.  Seems like the over-abundant ads have been reduced dramatically which helps my pages to load a lot faster.  I haven't made it to all the corners of the new site, but so far, so good. 

Pam

Good morning.  I like the new look.  Seems a little more "streamlined", more professional.  I'm drinking my water, or will be shortly.

I came to this site, because when I first started out and googled weight loss surgery it was the 1st messageboard forum I found online.  So, I started coming here.  I've been to others, but you get a lot of the same people.  I did like going to quixoticwls.com, but it's just more of the same.  I mainly just check the MI board here and that's about it for me and weight loss stuff online.  I have met some FABULOUS people on here (can't say that enough).  

Staying warm!  2 days left 'til break (not counting today, of course!)
Tina

2 days ,, I think Deb has to work next week . Thats something I need to talk to her about.. Thanks

P.S. I just check her desk and She is off next week.
That is 3 more days for her and Not Counting...LOL

Wow, where has the morning gone.

Did some fake apple cider and water on my way to work, and a cup of coffee since I got here.  Just ate my Weight control oatmeal and brewed a second cup.

I like the look of the new site.  What brings me here is the people and the wealth of information.  Sometimes small, sometimes alot.  Sometimes when your not even looking for anything. 

Thanks to Randy for posting the morning coffee and the excellent recipe thread last week. 

Pam

Thanks Pam, I love getting people to open up. We all need a place to let go of the past.. I hope I'm doing that for someone else ..
That 's me paying ahead....For the ones the paved the way for me
