Hi Everyone,
The main focus of this meeting are topics as they relate to post-ops, so please come by and share your WOW moments, as well as whatever else is on your mind.

The Place:  280 Middletown Boulevard, Langhorne, PA 19047 
The time:  7 p.m. until approximately 8:30 p.m.

If you are celebrating a surgiversary, please bring any props (clothes worn prior to WLS, pictures), you will get 5 minutes to share what it was like, what it is like now and what you look forward to.  

We have a nutritionist at every meeting and while all are welcome to attend our support groups, nutritional consults cannot be given to non-Barix patients, but no matter where you had surgery if you feel in need of support we welcome you!

On a last note, while we recognize that there are times when babysitting might be an issue, it would be appreciated if small children were not brought to the meeting, as there are times people have a need to discuss things where having a small child there inhibits their ability to discuss openly talk about what they need to.  Thank you for your understanding.

Hope to see you there!

You sound like you have a cat like mine.  Trouble loves to come into our room walk all over me, stick his nose into my face, meows, etc.  it's like come on, mommy wants to sleep.  

I went to a Boyds bear bingo with the one stepdaughter tonight.  had fun.  after that, hubby drove me and nikki down to wal-mart.  picked up 3 pairs of pants for nikki, 2 pairs of shoes, a shirt, pk of socks.  

I have been passing major gas certain spots of my belly, it hurts when it goes through.  I have a funny, tickling sensation in my upper belly, too.  Drives me nuts..  Haven't had a bowel movement for 3 wks, I took some miralax for it. How long does it take for that stuff to work??

Good Morning PA!!

I am up bright and early to meet a good friend for breakfast. Then coming back home to write some thank you notes, do some financial stuff, etc. I am going to rearrange Dee's room. She wants the bed moved so we will see how that goes....in the process will straighten up things too!!

It looks like it is going to be a lovely day!

Love, Beth

 Hello Laura,

It certainly is a pleasure seeing you post today!  So happy that your "lil hurricane" Lily is growing and bringing you such joy!  Happy to hear you are enjoying your new school and it seems life has come to have a certain quality of goodness that makes you happy!  May it be that way always!

I'm late to this party, nothing I planned today, quite turned out the way it was supposed to and with the advent of a cold full on today, I feel like crap right now.  What I did accomplish was some housecleaning and then drove north to Hillsborough, NJ where I picked up some items my friend gave me from the house she is selling, she leaves for Florida sometime after the closing, which has now been pushed to Friday  I will miss her, but it will be yet another place to visit in Florida.  I did not get home from doing that until 4:45, so that kind of messed me up and I was supposed to go the Witches Ball in Mount Holly with friends, but feeling as I do, I changed my mind and just took some nighttime cold medicine and will be going to bed where I will stay toasty warm and hopefully have sweet dreams to keep me until I wake in the a.m. and try to finish what did not get done today!

Wishing you all the best day/night. . . Laureen

TY.  I drink as much as I can tolerate.   I can get 2 16.9 oz bottles of water down.  The swelling of my belly went down a lil bit.  My surgeon told me NO scales until I see her on the 22nd.  I walk in the house.  I swept the kitchen floor last night when everyone else was in bed.  They never do what I expect from them at all..  They are all afraid that they will do something more than the other, so stuff doesn't get done.  

I slept in bed lastnight and it felt good. I figured out how to get out of bed to where it doesn't hurt so much.  So far today, I managed to get one shake down. it took 2 sittings and a yogurt. again 2 sittings.  

I've been a bit tired today and trying to rest with a 6 yr old who can't sit and be quiet is hard.  His dad went to ER to see IF he can stuff for the pain in his teeth.  He has 2 teeth that has to get pulled. Dentist only gave him Penicillin for his teeth but no pain killers.
