Topic: Coffee and Snowstorms
After listening to the weather forecasts, I am thinking for safety's sake (since I am a Safety Coordinator for our company) that we postpone our coffee from tonight to another night. With the ice first and then the snow, it will be bad even in town.
If others are going, I will make an attempt, but my opinion is that we should postpone. Let me know what you think.

Well, If you can make it great. There are also monthly support group meetings at Merit Care and Essentia (sp). Sidebar--Steph did I spell it right>
Steph will know if I spelled it right.
The WLS process is ongoing. Probably the most important part is after you get home from surgery and begin your weight loss journey. What do I eat, what vitamins do I need, etc. That's why I like the coffee clutch (as we affectionately call it) because I can learn from those who have done this already.
Also, they understand my fears, frustrations, excitement, etc. Hope to see you on Thursday.

Steve - Thanks for the invite and the information.
I will do my best to make it on Thursday night - weather permitting of course. Wouldnt you know it your having coffee on a night I dont have to work and we're supposed to get a big snow storm.
I look forward to meeting people in this process face to face.
Thanks again!

Hi all!
I was going to try and make it to this coffee, but might depend on this lovely weather that those people are predicting coming our way. Don't mind getting stuck in Fargo, but it would be getting down there first! : )
Hopefully I will see you, but if I don't. There is always January and hope you all have a wonderful New Year.

Hey Pam,
Good Luck!!! One of the things I would suggest is rely on others for your support. We have a group that meets for coffee once in a while. We have all had WLS. We are actually getting together this Thursday at Luna Coffee on University by Bernies Liquors.
If you have time, please stop by and we can all visit. Just remember, you don't have to do this alone.
Take Care. Hope to see you Thursday. PS.. We meet at 6:00 PM.

Well I'm starting pre-op diet tomorrow (12/28) My surgery is 01/11/11. I think I'm prepared. Have my protein shakes/meals and vitamins. Have lots of milk and water. Still need to pick up a couple low-cal frozen meals in case I decide I need something solid but I've pretty much decided to try and do this all liquid.
My mom ended up in the hospital on the evening of Christmas so I spent several hours with her in the ER. I have been up at the hospital hours the last 2 days also. She is very obese, has diabetes, heart-attacks and strokes and has been in a nursing home since she was in her early 60's (she's now 71). If I had any doubts about this surgery they have been erased the last few days. She made a comment to me today that she doesnt think I should have the surgery. I tried to explain to her that I DON'T want to end up like her later in life, I want to be one of the 90-yr olds who still lives in her own place. She doesnt understand - and she is NOT part of my support system.
I do expect the first few days I will have food withdrawls that will be hard, any advice getting through those is greatly appreciated.
Thanks for listening!!

Topic: Merry Christmas!
Sipping on some French vanilla coffee, I jazzed it up a bit by hanging a candy cane over the edge of my cup, sweet minty addition to a frost covered morning. I hope everyone has a beautiful day/holiday with those you love. If your alone have a memory filled day of things you love.
