Hello all...

Just wanted to say hello to everyone this fine Friday morning. I am going to do a little shopping today and of course my "Walk Away The Pounds" video. Like Elizabeth says "you gotta move to lose". My eating situation is getting a lot better. Food seems to be staying put better and not giving me that cramping feeling as often , YEA! I probably won't be able to weigh untill I go to the Drs. on the 30th of this month. I was going to buy a scale but things came up and the money was needed elsewhere, oh well. I hope everyone has a good Friday and a GREAT weekend. Wayne

Hi Wayne, I'm so glad that things food-wise are going better for you. It just takes time but while you're going through that process of, in your case-the tuna syndrome!, it feels like it will last forever. As I've gotten to know you, I believe you are going to be a great source of motivation and inspiration for a lot of newer post-ops that will be having their surgery after you have. Look at this little bump in your food road as an experience you'll be able to share with others. When you hit your one year anniversary, I'll be handing you a Mentor form and a pen!!! I'm excited to see you and the rest of our group at the meeting on Monday, March 13th. Cathy ObesityHelp Support Group Leader

Hey Cathy. Hopefully the tuna syndrome is on its dying leg. I am also looking forward to the meeting, I really enjoy them. Well it's off to the store I go. Wayne

Wayne Hey while your there at the store wanna pick up a few things for me. lol I dread going to the store on a Friday plus it is the 3rd and now it is going to be really busy. Glad to see you posting and to know that your doing much better. I also am so excited to finally get to see everyone!!!!!!! If anyone in MO felt that little trimmer around 12:30pm is wasnt an earthquake it was just me doing my hapy dance. Enjoy your day!!! Melissa

Hey Lady, Good to see your happy face today.You should go to the store early, there is a lot less traffic then. I thought I felt someone getting a little happy LOL. Wayne

Hi Melissa, Waiting to hear when your date will be. I dont have the same doc but all I know is they called me with surgery date and than make my pre op one week before. Seems so long ago already. So I am happy that soon your day will be also. Are you have the lap RNY? Colette

Wayne, Well, I feel left out as I cant make it to your meeting. It would be so neat to meet all of you but Springfield is 3 1/2 hours away. I will be thinking of you. Glad to hear you are doing better on your food. I went through that too Wayne, and just remember to chew and chew and take your time eating. Have a great weekend. Colette

Colette, We have a great group in Springfield with very special members. I hope someday you can join us. If you are ever able to, please let me know so I can make arrangements to meet you. Branson is practically next door so you could take a long weekend to include the second Monday of the month and join us at one of our meetings. Although we have a great support group in Springfield, we have an awesome group of people on this Board too. We have our own system of support right here on our MO Board!
