went shopping and to support group

I was out and about again today.  Found a couple of tops that I liked and fit.  Best news of all, I didn't find them in the men's dept.  Although I still like a good t-shirt.  The men's styles are a little longer and cover my middle when my arms are up.  I do hate to show off the rolls and the start of saggy skin.  Next photo I put on the site will be me in one of the new tops.  Just don't know when the photo will be taken.

I drove an hour and attended the support group at the hospital where my surgery was done.  Good group, learned some things from the dietitian that was there to share information.  Shared a little of what I have been eating, which is not much in volume, but so much tastier than those shakes I drank before and shortly after surgery.  Met some other people from the area that frequent OH too. 

Did everyone have a good day?   I sure did.  Lovely fall day here today.
I am in the process of packing for a road trip.  Headed to my dad's place in the morning, family reunion Saturday and then dad and I are going a visiting.  Packing clothes, supplements, medications, cpap machine, dog food and water bowl, pet treats and one of their favorite beds to keep them company during the trip.  Have I forgotten anything, oh yes, my toothbrush, hate to go too many hours without that.

Hugs, Kathy

Don't forget fresh panties!!!!!!! LOL and a bathing suit or shorts and t-shirt... I have a feeling you may want them available for your visit. Ohhh yes and your deodorant! LOL. Don't want ya being a little stinker! LOL. you have your walking shoes? Think we got it covered now! LOL.

Glad you enjoyed the support group. Wasd the dietician happy with your food choices? Do you have one through your hospital that you work with at all? I had to pay $750.00 cash, before surgery to cover my pre-op appt and 4 appointments over the course of my fist year post-op. Think I went to 2 of them. What a waste of money. This woman didn't know squat about bariatric needs. Hope you invited the OH people you met to check out our group!

Looking forward to seeing your next photo. I think I'll be getting an updated photo early next week, since i will have company, that is sighted and can take one for me!
Hugs!
Nitey nite!

Oh yes, don't want BO, deoderant willl be packed in the am, along with rest of needed toiletries.  And my camera, never know when I might want to take some pics.  Do I really need to wear underwear?  Oh my gosh, never caught with out them.  Remember what mom said about travelling, always have on clean undies.  Thanks Patrece.  Hugs, Kathy

hey, hey, hey that is great about the shirt not being from the men's department.  you are really making progress.  i hope u are as proud of yourself as i am of you. 
hope you have a great time at the reunion and the visit with your dad.  hugs, vick

I hope you have a great time on your trip!  And also congratulations on your shopping trip.  I have enough clothes to last me the first 70 or 80 pounds so thats a ways off for me.  But wasn't it fun?

Colleen

I'm still waiting to see a picture of you in a blonde wig, false eyelashes and heavy makeup.  Maybe with that new shirt?    Then I want to hear what your DH says about that.

Wanda

Wanda, that will take some doing, Do you have a wig for me to borrow?  As long as I am borrowing, I need the false eyelashes and the makeup too.  I tried to wear makeup years ago, sweat too much, it all just disappeared when I dabbed the sweat. 

I will come up with something good, one of these days, kkeep looking for it.  Hugs, Kathy

Halloween is drawing near.  You could come up with something really good!  Maybe after you lose a bunch of weight, you won't sweat as much.  Although there's that whole HOT FLASH thing that we can't seem to control.  LOL

glad you are feeling well enough to go on a trip!! keep it up
