Well its 7'45 am hawaiian time and I am getting ready to go the support group meeting here that meets the first sat . of each month....got to take two buses to get there but will be great to meet people who I have been  talking to on OH........missed the meeting at Barix, but I am making up for it here.....hope it is a good as Barix....miss you guys......but love Hawaii.................

Glad you're checking in from Hawaii, Lois!!!  How was the meeting?  I didn't get to Barix today, but I'm sure they had a good meeting.

Lois,

You freakin' ROCK!!!  Good for you going to a support meeting while in Hawaii on vacation!  That's the true spirit of commitment!

We did miss you today at Barix (and you, too, Julia), but so glad to hear you're getting support where you are.

Thanks, Karen!  I missed you guys too!  I guess you could say I had a mini meeting---I visited a friend who is 11 months post-op RNY.  Haven't seen her since before my surgery, so it was fun to get together and compare notes.

That's great, Julia!  So you were still getting your dose of WLS support today... and that's what counts!

See you soon, I hope!

karen, thought you had a jewelry show?????

The opening was last night, and it runs until Dec 23rd, but it's at a gallery and i don't have to be there for the whole thing (just for the "receptions").

Thanks for remembering!

Karen

lois, i think next time you go to hawaii, i'm going to have to go with you . . . i hated hawaii, but seems like you enjoying it more like a local . . .

Just got back from the meeting..............very small group but the person who led the meeting was the Dr. himself from SanFrancisco, he does the surgery there and comes over here to all three islands three times a month to do the support group...I was really impressed....It took us a real long ride to get there....I mean long..............then we waited for the second bus and it didn't come, and didn't come....so a lady at the bus stop said, oh you can walk it is only five blocks down this street......so we walked and walked and walked and one and half miles later, we were there....at the end of the meeting the doctor offered us a ride back to  Wakiki , it was really nice of him, and he dropped us off...........my husband was impressed with his imput on everything and I am glad we took the time to go...........he was suprised to see that we would come to this meeting also being on vacation.....but it is part of my life.....support........miss everyone................aloha

Lois,

I'm glad you are enjoying your time in Hawaii and making time for support group.  It was so nice of the doctor to offer you a ride back. 

I think of you every single day as I drink my Max Protein - LOL - I'm no longer protein deficient thanks to you turning me onto Max Protein.  No more protein nausea - YAY!

Have a wonderful trip, Lois.  Hope to see you when you get back to PA.
