AS a new bee i read alot of the Cali boards. But I am so new I don't know what to say about some of the comments because i haven't had any of the experience that you all have had.
What I do know is that I have talked to some of the people here and they are so nice. And even though I didn't have WLS I would like to stick around and get to know more of you guys. And I would love to go to some of the get togethers in the future. The bad thing is I work some nights and weekends. And I still need some support from people that understand what I am going through. And I am going to have to lose this weight on my own.

Of course you are welcome.  I would love to stay in touch with you, and just because you aren't having surgery, your weight loss struggles are no different from ours!  Hope to see you soon Patsy.

Hugs, Diane

Will you be there on sat. at L B Coffee ? I will be there and looking foward to talking to all the people who have given me words of encouragement.  Patsy

Looking forward to seeing you.!!!!  Diane

Hey Patsy...

We're a GREAT group of friends and strangers!! 

Ok...One question...what the heck is a "last supper?"    In the 1+ year I've been here, I haven't heard of one happening....was it a "take the WLS" person out to dinner night??  How did it work with pre-op eating plans and such?
thanks...I am still learning so much!!

Kim.....in the old days when people got their surgery dates.....somebody would volunteer to be their "angel".  In many cases, their "angel" would plan a celebration of sorts.....or what we used to call a "last supper".  It would usually be a week or two before surgery.  We all know "last supper" wasn't literal.....of course they would be able to eat again.....but it was a way to get everyone together to celebrate the upcoming surgery.  People often brought the person little treats such as protein samples and stuff like that.  There were  "last suppers" almost weekly....sometimes more than once a week....and some people had more than one!  LOL 
Ahhhhh......the good ol' days!  :-)

Now that sounds like a really good time for all involved...I hope we see them again.  What a neat way to meet the pre-ops and newbies and to form an immediate bond.
