WLS Support Group Dinner November 11, 2010 11:35 pm I'm really getting excited obout our upcoming dinner this Saturday. I'm expecting 22 people. Six of those are new members to our group from a nearby town who had their surgery in another state, but are so far from their surgeon's support group, that they've asked to join ours. Also, Mona Urwin, the Bariatric Coordinator for the surgeons in Scottsbluff, will be joining us along with her husband.

My husband and I are bringing a turkey, turkey meatballs, and hamburger meatballs. I'm making Chef Dave's Sweedish Meatball Gravy and a Red Sauce, and the turkey balls are in Chef Dave's Dijon Mustard and White Wine gravy. I'm also bringing Chef Dave's Pumpkin Cheese Cake. I can't wait to see what everyone brings for salads and side dishes. We did this one other year, and had the best time. It's nice to get together more informally with the members and their spouses. It will be a great way to get to know the new members.
November 2010 November 3, 2010 7:41 pm I am celebrating my 6 yr. anniversary for Lap-Band surgery. I am maintaining a 100 pound weight loss, and I feel great! As I was updating my profile, I was reminded of how far I've come, and of all the wonderful changes I've gone through. I was scrolling through the photos I had posted on my profile, and I did not even recognize myself in the photo from 6 years ago. I know it was me. I remember taking the picture, but I don't feel like the person in that photo any more.
Be the first to leave a comment.I never would have thought that I'd eventually start to forget how miserable I was back then. I feel so grateful that God allowed me to have this tool in my life to help me lose and maintain my weight. This is the first time in my life that I've been able to keep the weight off once I lost it. Is anyone else excited about their weight loss journey? Get out your old photos and start thinking back on all of the changes you've been through. Then share your insights with the rest of us. Have a wonderful Fall and a Blessed Thanksgiving with Family and/or friends.
October, 2009 October 25, 2009 7:43 pm What a nice Autumn I've had so far. We celebrated my folk's 50th wedding anniversary and their 70th birthdays. In September, my extended family took my parents to Estes Park, CO (next to Rocky Mountain National Park). We spent 4 days in a beautiful home we rented that had the most awesome view of the Rocky Mountains. It was one of those vacations where the reality exceeded our hopes and expectations. I was so glad we could celebrate these milestones with my parents.

August 2009 August 21, 2009 7:26 pm This summer has been a rough one for my family. My son has been having medical problems, and we even had to hospitalize him for a few days. He is having continued problems with his medication, and is feeling depressed and kind of lost right now.
Be the first to leave a comment.However, our family is looking forward to celebrating my parent's 50th wedding anniversary and 70th birthdays in September. We are taking them to the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. They know we are going, but we have not told them where. I can't wait to spend time with our extended family in such a beautiful place!

January 28, 2009 4:00 am I have just finished my 4 "support group coach" training workshops with ObesityHelp. Cathy was a wonderful instructor. We had a small group, which made it easier to be involved and interact with one another. I esp. enjoyed the practice sessions we were able to participate in.
