Tuesday Coffee Everyone !!!!

Good Morning,

Got up late this morning, catching up on my sleep. I have my make ahead S/F mocha latte, stirred with the other half of my s/f candy cane I had last night.

I came to this site before my surgery as well, it seems to offer a wider variety of things for me, that the others don't.

I have met a lot of awesome people on this site, everyone I have met has ( and those I have not met as well) has had something good to offer me. I always take the opportunity to learn something from everyone. I maintain this philosophy in life, it makes my world larger, richer and well rounded. In return, I hope I have been able to offer some good thiings to everyone too !!!!!!!!


                                                     Merry Christmasing to you

Good Morning everyone!!!  (almost good afternoon!)  I went to bed very late last night so I didn't get up early enough!!!

Why i chose/come to this site?  I googled it and found it also from some friends who use to belong to "www.imnotfatanymore.com" which I don't believe is operational any longer.  Some people there use to come here so i checked it out post op and have been here ever since.  I've made some really great friends here and appreciate the support people reply and how everyone has a diferent opinion of what works and what doesn't. It's what makes this site unique.

Went shopping in Lansing yesterday and got some Christmas presents and got myself a few little things- went to a music/record/cd/movie store down by MSU and got 2 cd's and a movie.  I also got myself a new sundress for my upcoming trip to Mexico and it is adorable! It's mauve and has a tie down the front like a corset, 3-4 layers of ruffles at the bottom and some embroidery at the top and bottom.  I just love it- it was 50 percent off so i paid 15.00 for it.  I can't wait to wear it down there out to dinner, shopping and whatever else we do I can wear it to!  In my cup again this AM was hazelnut coffee and my Any Whey, and I have leftover Indian food for dinner tonight!!! Gave a whirl at Sushi for the first time yesterday and loved it!!!

Otherwise i'm working this afternoon, have to take out the trash and go to the oil place and get an oil change and all the fluids checked before my road trip in one week!!!

Have a great day michiganders and stay warm!

Drinking warm eggnog protein w/ decaf.  I don't even like plain eggnog, but using it as a 'creamer' just sounded like a good idea at the grocery store, and I'm glad that I bought it.  I like the taste & smells of the spices.

Just as long as a website functions, I am happy with it.

Why do I come to OH?  After my WLS, I was questioning some of the information my bariatric practice was giving to me.  It just didn't seem correct given what I knew of my new anatomy.  The DS forum has been an amazing fountain of knowledge and support.  I would not be as healthy and happy with my DS if it weren't for that community of people.  There is just so little understanding about the DS anatomy and what our needs are post-op, both with bariatric practices (especially those that don't perform the DS, but also the majority of those that do) and with those that have had WLS.  So, I do spend most of my OH on the DS forum, as this is where I learn the most, have the opportunity to pay it forward, and share in all the wonderful 'WOWs' people post everyday.  But, I also come to the Michigan forum in an attempt to connect with others, but also to provide some insight when I can offer any.

I am still learning my way with the folks that frequent the Michigan board!  The interaction is far different than the DS board, to say the least.  The other boards -- I have no idea because I don't frequent any others.  In any event, I do pop in here because I do think that it is important to offer support in as many arenas as I can.

Good evening!! Wow ~ I thought I'd went to the wrong site. :)

Actually my nutritionist recommended this site for me so that's how I started. I've visited this site for some time and finally decided to jump in. It's nice to talk with folks that is/have been through what I want to go through. Since I haven't told many people or the people I've told has been negative..............it's refreshing to have encouraging words through this site.

Hot Tea with lemon and honey in my cup today!!!
