Just checking in

I have at least 3 days work that must be done before I leave today and my support group tonight.  That means I must keep my nose to the grindstone today if I have any hopes of being ready to fly out at 6:00 a.m. tomorrow.  Am going to Las Vegas for an obesity seminar.  Hopefully I'll come back with lots of good information to share.  Will get back late Sunday evening. 

The only commitment I can make for certain is that I will not pig out while I'm there.  I'm so new to this 1000 calorie 60-70 protein way of eating I don't yet have a knowledge/experience base of what I need to eat and what I need to avoid.  My plan is to eat breakfast & lunch in my room and eat out in the evening.  My husband is meeting me there, but has an SI joint that has flared up so I plan to walk and walk and walk together has to be shelved.  My Plan B is to find an exercise room (hate exercise machines!).  Again, my only absolute firm commitment is to not pig out (knowingly).  I will be so glad to get back home so I can count calories and nutrients and have some fun (or at least not drudgery) exercise.

See you back here Monday.

Happy BOTTing

HL, have a great trip. I know you will do well today. We will see you when you return.

Have a wonderful fantastic trip, HappyLapbander! You'll do swimmingly, I'm sure of it!

Hi HappyLapBander,

I am confident you'll do just fine.  It sounds as though you have a great plan AND back-up plan.  You are one of the most committed post-ops I've known.  Remember that you're there for the obesity conference as a healthy step to reinforce your lifestyle.

I would love to hear about all of the information and things you learn/hear about.  I think that will be an awesome conference to go to.  Have a great time.  I'm excited for you to attend and hear all about it.  I look forward to you sharing it with us.

Take care....Hugs, Cathy

P.S. I'm not receiving your e-mails because the way they come through doesn't allow me to review the text. 

Thanks so much for your kind words and support.  You are so special to me.  I don't know what it is with my e-mails from work sometimes they go through & sometimes they don't   In the future, I'll just remember to send them from homw.  Thanks for telling me.

Sounds like a great trip!!  Don't spend to much time in your room.  Las Vegas is the walkingest city I have ever been too you will have the opportunity to walk away tons of calories!!!
