Hello Dayton group! How i...

Hello Dayton group! How is everybody doing. I know I have been very busy and have not been on the board for a while but here I am and Wondering how Cathy, Laura and everybody else is doing? Let's keep in touch. Who is going to the Cincinnati Conference. We are heading to Columbus tonight to listen to a band of somebody I know. See y'all soon I hope. Lise

Hi Lise, How are you doing? Are you feeling well? I am going to the conference. See you there

Hi Lise, I don't think that I'm going. No excuse . Maybe I'll change my mind later. I'm doing pretty well with my band. I'm able to eat pretty much anything now. Although, I haven't even tried bread, pasta, steak or lettuce. I've lost about 35 pounds with my pre-op diet (I started a month before on my own). I've been pretty busy with high school senior portraits and weddings. Getting a lot of excercise. Email me later and I'll let you know if I'm going. Cathy

Hi Lise, I'm doing good. I think I am down about 85 or so now. I'm still fighting the energy thing...a friend at work keeps telling me I'm not eating enough, so I have been forcing myself to eat three times a day. That does seem to help a bit. I went to the US Sr. Open Golf Tournament today. Had fun walking around there and just people watching. Also saw a hole in one but could not even tell you who shot it. I haven't been to the last two Cinci Meetings. Just too much going on. Would like to get back down there. Maybe in a few weeks we can have another Dayton outing and then do dinner after if folks are game for it again. My preference is to try and do it on a weekend when my kids are gone with their dad. Just makes it easier for me to participate in the adult conversations. I have my kids next weekend, so the weekend after. As far as the conference, I probably won't be going. My youngest son is going to be admitted to Cinci Children's on 8/17, 18 and 19th for a continuous EEG. He's got seizures and they want to figure out what is going on. I figure I'll be half insane after trying to get him to not yank off all those electrodes so I'll probably want to just have a day to veg after all that. May change my mind later, but this is what I'm thinking now. Hope everybody is doing well! Laura

Did you see the girl on the boards looking for a Dayton angel? Her surgery is coming up. I said I'd help if there was noone closer, but I am still out in Columbus. Do you know anyone in Dayton that could give he more local support? Her name is Dawn.

Hi Lise! I am doing good. Been super busy with starting my job and all. We leave for vacation on Wednesday and I can't wait. It will be nice to relax on the beach in Ocean City, Maryland! We definitely need to get together, maybe later this month. I work the weekend of Aug 13-14 so any weekend after that would be good. Laura and Cathy, congrats on the weight loss! I have now lost 65 pounds! I think the new job is going to help me lose the rest of my weight with being on my feet all day taking care of patients. It is a real sense of satisfaction taking care of bariatric patients know exactly what they are going through. Miss you all, Jill Open RNY 11/30/2004 250/185/140 or so

Thanks Jill. Can't wait to hear how your job is working out! It sounds like such a perfect fit for you!

Hi Lise, missed your post until I went back to older posts. I have been busy too. Went up to Lake Erie and Cleveland to see family weekend before last and this past weekend had company. Hope you are having a good summer, hard to believe it is August already. Hope we can get together again before too long. I am not planning to go to Cincinnati I don't think. I have my 6 month check-up in a couple of weeks. See you or talk to you soon. Chris
