H'burg support meeting.
Oh Glenda... Thats 2 meetings you have missed and WE MISSED YOU.
We had a really good meeting. We talked about the bash coming up and we talked about some other ideas we had. We had a couple of new people come tonight.. some post op and some preop. Its exciting to see new faces.
We talked a little bit about eating... some of us think we are eating too much and some think they arent eating enough. I dont know if you were there when Aneesa came but she was there and she has lost 119 pounds. Her surgery was 6 mos ago and she looked great. Rebecca brought a scrapbook of her journey and it was amazing to see how far she has come. I had never seen a before photo of her so it was great. She has come a long way...
Everyone looked great... Bear was there with his wife--you can definatly tell he has lost 50+ pounds.. He looks great. Sandra, Denise, Melissa, Linda and Rita also looked great. I think you met all of them. Of course Denise was the Cutest One There... haha... that was a little inside joke... Hope she reads this... haha... Elesha wasnt there... bummer but I saw her last week and she still looks fabulous. Robin ditched us for bowling.. this is the one and only time we will excuse her for bowling. Janice was there --looking fabulous and just thrilled about her surgery. She is 13 days post op and looking great and just glowing. Rita brought a pair of her pants she wore preop --it was size 62. Its amazing how far she has come.
We talked about having Dr. Talbot come and discuss skin removal. We also talked about having the professor from USMs Fashion Merchandising department come. I think she will be speaking at our next meeting in May and talk to us about how to dress and hide our flaws... and girl I got some.
It was a really great, fun, and positive meeting. I hate that you missed it.
I sure do hope you can come to the next one.

PS...I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOU.. 20 POUNDS TIL DOCS GOAL?? YOU GO GIRL! I am so proud of you! You have done so well...
I'm sorry I missed the meeting. It sounded like a good one with even better ones in the plans. On the Mondays that my honey is away and the kids have Scouts is proving to be just too busy for me to make the meetings. I believe my honey's schedule may be more cooperative soon and the kids will be out of school too. Don't give up on me!
