New thoughts

Ok people, wakey, wakey...
Every time i check in there is nothing new to read...so give me something.  Anything !

Michelle clued me into a site called BareatricEating.com. They have live chats with experts in the field. There is a group tonight, I am hoping my registration is approved in time for me to join in. I will report back.

Not much to report on my side except to say that you look fabulously awesome in your new AV. Holy cow-catcher, what a difference - you look so much younger!! Still as pretty, but just a younger version. :-D

Just wanted to report that my butt is numb from sitting in this office chair.

Carry on!

;-)

 I haven't had a new thought since I started on this WLS journey!  All I think about is my next appointment, am I losing/gaining, what food to eat and what is going on on the forum:-)  I check it first thing when I get up, several times through the day and last thing before I go to sleep.  Can you say "OCD"  Well, maybe not quite that bad - at least I don't eat when I'm at the keyboard.  Somehow my "forum fix" is very comforting.  Guess that isn't an all bad thing - it's encouraging to hear about successes of others.  I hate to be a voyeur of sorts - but .... I would have to admit that is kinda the way it feels sometimes LOL.  I would love to have something new to share - right now I hanging on every word from you Charline as I just a few weeks behind you.  

Hi there

I am trying to get in gear for leaving on Saturday.... the last 3 days I am running around with my head cut off cause of being out of commission for so long - I still have this awful bark and congested head and its still supposed to be viral - my ears are so plugged I see dr again tomorrow -  have flown before with a sinus infection- can we say pain... like I never imagined the whole flight this ungodly pressure/pain in my face and ears- I cried the whole flight- so remembering that I am now getting a lil freaked about Saturday and the flights.......

So I am shopping my brains out cause I dont want to have to buy things down there and take away from suntime and relaxtion with my family .

I have been a frequent flyer at Value village and some other second hand stores and also discovered that I can get into size 10 at Marks work warehouse- I think they are my new fav store..... size 10 ya I started with the 14's in shorts and skirts and a 10 did I mention that - am I allowed to leave the size tag on it for the conference or is that tacky ??? LOL

So I finally have put together a wardrobe for hot weather and the only thing left is sandals..... none of mine fit anymore....I was wearing a 9 wide
sometimes 8 1/2 wide but now I can wear an 8 normal sometimes a 7 1/2... guess I had pretty fat feet!

Will have my laptop with me so I will be in touch and up to date - have a teleconfrence and webseminar on WLS topics while I am away so gonna bring my laptop- I would go thru withdrawl if I left it home and I dont want to share hubby's! lol

Ok have a great Friday everyone and weekend- today you could almost see that soon it will be spring......... how cool is that!

hugs

I love Arazona!  Got a big suitcase? I just happen to have some time off!  What part are you hitting? I did Arazona- Navada in 2000 with half my family. The older 2 are still miffed about that.

Hi Deb,
I've actually developed ear infections from flying. If you aren't already on an antibiotic ask your doc for a broad spectrum one to take with you. If you don't need it, that's great. But if you do need it, much better to have it with you, than to have to see a doc in the US. Before flying I always take 2 Advil Cold and Sinus 1 hour before take off. I've also been told that it helps to drink water the whole time you're in the air. Hoping you get there without too much pain and get to enjoy your trip.

 I agree Patsy. There is not much to read from the Canadians on these sites.
However I am happy that usually when they do post it is good news.

I am still waiting for a date and go back for a recheck on Monday.
I haven't been very sucessful this month so we'll see what they say.
I've been on the Drs. 1 cup 3x a day since September 8th and I am fine if I eat that but sometimes I find that I don't even eat that and I think I've managed to put myself into starvation mode.

I just really want to get my surgery done and get on with this.

Hey, watch the dissing this site. This is one fabulous source of support and friendship!  After I was done with research, this is the only part of OH I use. Patsy was encouraging us to get active.
