My email is [email protected] and my phone# 970-580-0460. You can call or text me anytime. I hope to meet some nice people who will help me in my journey and I will help them as much as I can. Thanks for the support....

Hello Sabrina! welcome to our group! This group is a great place fo online support. Ask any questions you may have and reach out as often as you need to. Some one will be here to help you along.
We also have a group chat each Monday evening. We are not always able to have a leader there, but people still get a lot of info and caring and sharing durin these chats. Kathy sends out the chat reminder info each Monday with the link to the chat area. Do try to join us there.

Also, if you are interested, Iput out a newsletter usually once a week that is free. you can go to my site to sign up for it. www.cwlss.com You will see the sign up form on the right side of the page. I am still working on the site so it is not complete yet, but there are some artilces and such to read there as well.

Again...welcome! Glad to have you in our group!

Oh yes.. also if you look above in the discussion topics in the colored area people have posted thier contact info to be there to support one another. feel free to post your info there and toget the info of others to contact as well.

Welcome to the group Sabrina, I am online nearly everyday, missed a couple of days last week due to bussiness of life.  Chat is this evening, yes, I am up at midnight writing replies.  I work night shift and this is my "day" time.  I will post the reminder for chat in a bit.  Still responding to some of the posts as I try to catch up.

I had RNY 12 months ago, life has been really uneventful.  Only one episode of throwing up since surgery.  I now chew my raw veggies better, got a carrot stick stuck.  I realize when I have made a mistake soon after the error.  And being human, repeat the error a few times 'just to make sure', lol.  Yes we are human and do things that sabatoge our efforts.  I will be the first to admit that I am a work in progress.

Post any thoughts, questions, ideas, concern, celebrations and such.  We love to share in the lives of our buddy friends.  I am looking forward to attending the retreat Patrece is planning for next summer.  Hope to meet others from this group there.  Let's see if we can fill the slots still open for the retreat.

Congrats on having  a surgery date.  Let us know if there is anything we can address for you.  Pack your lip balm, slip on sippers and a pillow to pad the seat belt for trip home.  Chatter at you some monday eve.  Hugs

Hi Kathy B. It is so nice to meet you. I will be at the chat Monday night at 5pm mountain time right. Just let me know what I have to do or I will read it on your reminder. I want to be involved in all the support groups that I can so I can learn. Thank you for stopping by to welcome me. Congrats on your journey I seen you have lost alot of weight. I am so ready to start my journey and looking forward to meeting new friends along the way.

Wow, another night owl.  I work midnight shift, so up at this time is normal for me.  I am "on call" for work as I type.  Could have to punch in at anytime and acutally work.  Catching up on emails while waiting.  Great to get to know you.  Chat in a few more hours.  Can't wait to visit.  Hugs
