She is not the only one I am in Taylor about 25 minutes to the east of Round Rock on HWY79. No matter the WLS procedure you have had you need some amount of support. I know there are times I need to my butt kicked for not taking all my vitamins or a issue come up that I have a question about. It has been 3 years since I have been DFW�area but my work does not want to send me up that way because of cost and I only get two days off Friday and Saturday so it is difficult for me to make to the DFW area. I would interesting to see how much the area has changed in three years.�I am in the Round Rock and Austin area daily. I could meet Fridays or Saturdays and I have been working with different recipes and baking items with carbquik and have a great hookup for the carbquik , sugar free granola, sugar free hot cereal, and protein cookies in Hutto. Plus, I have access to my wife's recipe data base, which gives us thousand of recipes to modify for WLS individuals. Plus, the diiferent places to buy things that help us eat healthy.

Hey there!  Glad to see someone out there!!  I'd be very interested in the places ni Hutto you go too.  I would love to meet you and your wife.

Take care,

Nina

I am there with you Sweet Nina! Haven't been to any support groups since I moved here 3 years ago. I miss my DFW and other TMB peeps. I need to get back here too. I need some motivation to lose about 10-15 pounds that i have put back on. Just getting complacent in my old habits and settling for stuff I guess! Bill and I have started to read labels more, eat more fresh veggies and cut out some fats and junk from our diet. We've also been working in our yard and garden more in the evenings and I know that will help us! We both have a positive attitude about getting back on track, so that is a good start! Have lots of fresh squash and peppers coming in my garden now, so I want to find healthier ways to fix them than the old country girl butter and onions way that I know or frying! LOL

You are right TMB folks rock and are good for each other! I'll make a point to come back here more often. Bill has even been lurking of late!

Hey Gina,

good to see you!! I have been actually using alot of recipes from my wls cookbooks and from OH.  I made some fritattas a few weeks back and my school mates loved them!  I got the recipe from OH Magazine, speaking of which, I 've not received mine yet!!

Whenever you are out this way, holler at me!!

Blessings,

Nina

NINA-how far are you fron New Braunfels? Could you and BECKY hook up and start something? At least monthly? shoot-I'd even travel down there for a monthly meeting!!

Oh aren't you sweet!!!!  Becky is about 2 hrs from me (?) give or take a few.  I hope you have a great weekend!!!

Blessings,
Nina

Nina, I can definitely relate to being away from your support.  I am thankful for FB and my friends here because it would be a disaster without them with no local support.

Sorry about your B-12, it can happen to anyone even non-WLS peeps.  My Mom deals with it also.

I've been taking my B12 faithfully.  I bought some more protein powder and have been watching what I am eating.  I am trying to make sure that I am eating healthy.  Most importantly that I am not dealing with head hunger!

Lots of love to ya!!!

Blessings,

Nina

hey you!!! glad you finally got your fill.  ANYONE can have a B-12 deficiency.  My mom and sis both have them (along with me) but neither of them have ever had WLS. Mom's had gotten so bad at one point we thought we were looking at early onset Alzheimers. Thankfully it was only B-12 - something easily correctible!!!!!
Would love to see you in person (hint hint~)
