Good Morning. Support group tonight...

...with Jody in tow. We're meeting a few DSr buddies at the bar & grill and then going over to the hospital for support group. Tonight is "bring your own protein shake" and share with the group...thank goodness it's a small group. Anyway, I'm going to bring protein coffee and maybe some Nectar Strawberry Mousse shake.

I hope Jody will talk sense to my dietitian. She gets that DSrs need to supplement with dry D3 and dry A (palmitate) in large doses but for some reason it hasn't clicked with her that RNYrs need dry forms too. {sigh}  And, she needs to see for herself how good Jody looks following up with vitamins and protein as she has. LOL Jody will be my "show and tell" for tonight. Oh, and wait until my DSr buds see that Jody can eat normally, not like the propaganda you see floated about here by some DSrs. I'm looking forward to breaking down some misconceptions tonight. 

Y'all have a great Tuesday and be careful out there.

The storm came through here last night with wind rain and thunder, headed to all of you further east from me.  Hang on, it is a wild ride.  Now we just have gusty strong winds and cold.  No playing with the ponies today but I have plenty inside to keep me busy.

Hopefully your "show and tell" will have an impact.

Price, the wind hit us last night and I could have sworn it was a hurricane! We had anywhere between 30-50 mph wind gusts, the rain came in about 4 am....It was a wild ride

I didn't realize Jody was still here, or I would have begged to come with you all.  Here I sit, all alone......

But I have my 2 month appt with my surgeon tomorrow and am meeting with my NUT too.  Also my mammo and my annual appt with the breast surgeon, same practice as my sleevie surgeon. Count 'em, that's four appointments, and then I'm meeting a friend at the hospital for a couple hours, and THEN making the support group at 6:30.  Hopefully I can make it home by 10 pm.

Well... I DID eat normally.. lol and even had a glass of wine (thanks Gina - I forgot to thank you for paying!).

Now - gina DOES have one on me - I've NEVER taken my vitamins with a beer or glass of wine.. and she admitted she has tonight - lol..

I didn't get a chance to talk about D3 - sorry...  we did talk vitamins though for a bit.  I'm very impressed with how knowledgeable ALL the ladies were regarding vitamins and protein. 

Gina's protein coffee was a hit, as well as the Strawberry Mousse.. both were very good.  I found I like sugar free Almond milk.. may need to get me some of that.  Low carb, low calorie...

The 4 of us were 2+ years out each - and had very good conversations regarding issues we're facing now.

Thanks for inviting me!
