Good Tuesday morning to all!

Hope you all are not too harried with preparations for either Easter or Passover. Got things going on myself and the list is growing daily. I am pretty much back on my feet and doing good. I was given the clearance to start running again by my PS, WOOHOO. The mind is willing but the old bod is saying hold off. I hurt my right knee back in mid Nov. and still am gimping along with that even with physical therapy. Well, I have a digital camera class tonight that I signed up for a couple of months ago. I am really looking forward to learning new things to do with the camera and hopefully with the computer. Gotta get moving with my day. Take care all. Chris

Good morning Chris! I didn't know that there were any classes for digital camera usage. How cool is that? I'm surprised that Dr. M is letting you run at this time. You're not quite 3 weeks post-op. Today I am so happy to say that I was 100% on track yesterday, the first time in weeks. I stayed away from the evil carbs. It took every ounce of strength to fight off the demons in me. I prayed that I would be strong and stay in control. I did! YAY!! I've been struggling with grazing for sometime now. I know that I have to stop and break the habit. I've come so far and will not go back to my former self. Can you tell me more about the Thursday support group? Where is it located exactly and is everyone welcome? I was thinking about coming. I have lots of clothes to donate. Thanks Chris! Lucy

Lucy, even when he did my thigh lift and lipo last May he let me run at 2 weeks out. I did a little and did not pu**** felt fine. You and I are together on those evil carbs, they are my downfall. Good job on yesterday. Chris

Good Morning and Happy Tuesday - Chris - The camera class sounds like a good idea. Let me know how it goes. I have a camera that just sits in a case.. too hi-tech. Glad to hear you're appointment went well w/ your surgeon. Just listen to your body and don't over do it. Life has thrown me a few curve balls lately. I've been lurking from time to time but not posting. I have not been in a real good space. I would love to get together w/ you and some others this spring. Sound like a great time! Hi Lucy - How are you getting along? Hope the swelling is going down and your starting to enjoy the results. Thursday nights meeting is in Downers Grove off of Finley / Butterfield. Meeting starts at 7. I will invite you as my guest and then if you like the meeting you can talk to Dr. Rosen's team to find out if they charge a fee per meeting. I really don't know what the policy is. You could always call them too. I don't have the address or phone number off hand but if you click at the bottom of this page LifeWeigh Bariatrics it will give you the address and phone number. If you're able to come, let me know. Oh, by the way.......... I know your miss skinny minny now. What size clothes are you getting rid of? I'm always looking. I'm in size 24 pants, 1x tops sometimes 2x depending on the cut. You've been out of those sizes for so long you probably only have "little" stuff. Ok.. gotta run. Have a great day. Christina

You have a good day also. If there is something that you want to bounce off of me in private on Thursday let me know, think about it. Chris

Christina, I think I'm coming! Between you and Chris I have a double guest invitation. I have an assortment of sizes - from 2x to mediums. I have about 5 boxes of clothes in my trunk. I'm going to have to go back and forth a few times to get the boxes in the building - unless they have a cart I can use! I'm sure if there is a nominal fee it shouldn't be that much. I can handle whatever it is. I will have to leave early as it is rush hour and want to have plenty of time to get there so that I'm not rushing in at the last moment. Yeah, count me in! I'm still a bit swollen but that's the way it goes. This too shall pass. Thanks, Lucy

Actually it is an Adobe Photoshop Elements class to learn to use the software. It is an adult continuing education class held at Lake Park East HS in Medinah. That is our HS district for here in Itasca. Chris
