As I read Melissa's post "What are you most greatful for". I had to stop and think, most of you know that my "normal" answer would be Melissa. But when I think about what happened today with haveing to take our daughter Mara to the ER I think back over the last 21 years and the greatest gift that anyone has ever given me the gift of my children. I think we sometimes forget that with all we are going through in these stressul times, we forget what God has given us. I always tell you how much Melissa and all of you mean to me, but with that said, my girls Mara and Elizabeth have been there for the good and the bad, the thick and the thin, and I for one thank God every day that I wake up that he gave me them. Sorry for my own self indulgence. Best to all of you.

What do we need to do to get you to come to a meeting?   I have been hearing that some people cannot attend meetings on Tuesday nights...Send us a note and let us know what works for you.   Do you prefer face to face or on-line...what things do you want out of the meetings?   What things would you like to see on the site.   Do you use the links, do you check out the photos?

What is your favorite part of the site?  Let us know....because this is your group!

Thank you Chris for your kind words, at this point I really don't even miss it. Plus water is a lot cheaper that looking for deals on Coke and it never goes "flat". (lol)

Last month we attended a nutrition seminar, and the Dr. that did it took out a bottle of Pepsi and proceeded to explain what just one bottle of a soft drink of this type can do to you. I have been a Coke drinker, at least 4 cans per day, for probably the last 35 years. I enjoyed every second of it. After hearing the cold hard facts that each can had 39g of sugar, 140 calories,  39g of carbs. and 0 protein. I am a type 2 controlled diabetic, controlled, with medication that is. She also told us that when you drink Pepsi or Coke the acid that it produces replaces your normal acid in your stomach. So all these years I was basically putting “battery acid” in my stomach.

Well 1 month and two days later, I only drink water and I am proud to say that I have lost about 7lbs. my morning sugar readings are between 80-90. This is just from one month. I drink 4-5 bottles of water a day and feel a lot better. It took a Dr. talking to a support group of Bariatric Weight Loss patients to make me realize what others have told me for years. Just my way of saying thank you to all of you for helping me to better health!

Welcome to the group!   I got your message about the Tuesday meetings.   Is there another time that is better for you?   We are still building the group but we are always willing to look at adding either on-line meetings or another group meeting depending on the response.

We have at least 2 others in the group who have had Gastric Bypass!   IF you would like to post any links to other groups or information please feel free to do so!

Glad to have you here!
