August Lunch Bunch - history behind it

This Saturday it is!!

Now for a location...Logan's at Rivergate, or TGIFriday's at Rivergate?? Or is there somewhere else someone wants to try?

Since we have so many newbies on the board who have not attended a luncheon and do not know the history behind it, I will give the Reader's Digest version.

About 3 1/2 years ago, a few of us on this board decided we wanted to meet face to face. That first meeting was 4 of us getting together for a short visit at the workplace of one of the members. Next came the on board correspondence to set up a lunch meeting between 2 other board members to which Melinda and I responded and asked if we could join in.

Following that luncheon and one other meeting, several people on the board chimed in that they would like to participate if we decided to do it again. Then the recommendation was made to make it a monthly thing and the Lunch Bunch was born.

This gathering is open to anyone who has had, is going to have, is researching/considering having, any form of WLS as well as support people. This can be spouse, parents, siblings, children, friends...whoever you want to bring. We don't care which doctor or center you have used or are considering using or what type of surgery you have chosen.

This is an opportunity to ask questions; provide answers/advice; share recipes, goals, WOW moments, struggles, and laughs. We also share our tips for finding the best choices for us when eating out. We have even been known to share entrees to keep from having to take home leftovers.

This is the opportunity to hug the neck of someone who has become your cyber-buddy and share some good conversation as well as a good meal.

We normally meet the second Saturday of each month at 1pm and the location is open to suggestion. Anyone can recommend a restaurant they like or are just curious about trying.

I hope more of you will make it a point to join us and see if we are your cup of Crystal Light. ::BIG GRIN::

 

Personally I would like to go to Logans... not a huge fan of TGI Fridays, but majority rules, so just let me know, and I will be there!

Here are a few of my favorite reasons for lunch bunches:*Freebies - yes that's right.  FREEBIES.  someone always brings something to give away.  clothes that they have shrunk out of, shoes, protein powder, Kays Naturals, blender Bottles, heck once we even had bras.*TRANSFORMATIONS - every month, you get to see people's process of metamorphosis....  the weight melts off ... its so inspiring to see how everyone is changing.  I've seen different hair styles, hair colors, change in styles of clothing people wear (from granny to chic)...  oh gracious... just an array of things*Feel, see and ask questions about plastic surgery procedures - let's see.  Once, not mentioning any names, one person let us feel her breast implants. That was fun.  And, once not mentioning names either (me), one of us lost our "chicken cutlets" aka breast inserts on the ground in the middle of a cltohign swap.We share a lot of stuff...  people get to watch others "grow up" and "evolve".  Its an amazing event.

Darn Mel. you promised not to say anything if I let you and Susan feel my breast implants!!!! Can't trust anyone???? C'ya big boobies bob....

I do love me some man boobs. LOL

"one person let us feel her breast implants."

Ummmm . . . I gotta make it to the Lunch Bunch soon!!!

Bob, did you ever get that left one fixed? It was a couple cc's too high...  but they still looked and felt pretty good!

You guy's said it wasn't noticeable??? Now I'm going to be  self conscious!!!  BwaHahaha!!!!!

I'll be there. My vote is for Logan's also. Gotta love the peanuts!

Beth and I will be there as well.  It's been way to long since we have seen everyone.  So count us in!
