Topic: RE: OT- Any Milwaukee grocery stores honor printable coupons?
I didn't realize that some stores might not honor those coupons.
I am usually at Pic N Save several times per week. Will check at the service desk next time I go.

As I am reading this, I know you are probably in surgery.
Hope all goes well today and the next few days.

Topic: OT- Any Milwaukee grocery stores honor printable coupons?
Can anyone tell me which, if any, grocery stores will honor the printable coupons from the internet? Here is Sheboygan, not a single grocery store will accept them! I figure since I come to Milwaukee once a month anyway, I could pack a cooler and get some shopping done. Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi Robin!
So glad that your date is finally here. I remember feeling that excited nervousness! I know yours will go so smoothly! As of today, I am down 60#s from my presurgery weight, and so you are looking at a fun ride!! I have been walking and stuff, but today is the first day I am going to the gym. Going to use the treadmill and swim! I am excited! Don't worry about all the little stuff around the house, it will get done, or it will be waiting for you when you feel up to it. Believe me, after 2 months of hardly being home, everything was there when I got home! Plus it sounds like you have some great support to help you!
Good luck with everything, I will be thinking of you tomorrow.
Ohhh, and my advice, get up and walk as soon as you think you are stable enough, and keep walking. Also, cough and deep breath. YOu don't want to end up with pneumonia or anything from lying around too much!!!
Congrats!
Ann

Topic: Tomorrow is my surgery day
Good morning everyone,
Just checking in before my surgery. Tomorrow I will be dropping our kids off to summer day camp at 9 am. And then heading to the hospital at 10 am. My surgery is at 12:30. Why am I getting so nervous now. I am typing and my hands are just shaking this is so weird. I guess it is really setting in now that I am so close to having my lap rny tomorrow. I remember when I first starting this journey in Jan 2009. And now I am finally here. My husband and his sister, and nephew (21) will be me at the hospital. Got them to help him with the kids and to keep him calm during my surgery. HIs anxiety is up right now and he is also bipolar. I know we will get thru this together. I will be home sometime on Thursday which is our kids last day at summer day camp and they are going to a water park that day. So I should hopefully be home by then. I stlll have to get my bag pack yet, get all my paperwork in order, make sure the bills are paid. And I got the grocery shopping done. But forgot one thing that the dietician said to have in my cupboard the meat tenderizer. I have to take my van in for a estimate I have a transmission leak. Just what i needed. I will take care of it after surgery sometime when I am able to drive again. But figure I would get the estimate done.
Any last advice, post op suggestions, or experience I would greatly appreciate hearing them.
Thanks! See you all on the loser bench.

Topic: RE: Come on Cheeseheads!
You aren't kidding. Summer is only a few months in Wisconsin and before we know it it will be snowing and all that good stuff. Even this summer has been cooler than normal--don't like humidity but am glad the sun is starting to shine a little more this weekend.

Topic: RE: work out groups or buddies who are having/had wls?
I went to my first support group meeting and I am glad I did. I could of been going for the last 6 months but just kept having excuse not to go. I guess I am afraid of meeting new people in person and to speak and introduce myself. I was so nervous when I had to introduce mysefl. Then many of them had questions to ask me. I met a lady that now calls me to check up on me. It is nice to meet new friends now.
