Back from the Border and Banded

Thank you so much Kelly. The bench life is the actual journey, I realize and am going to try very hard to stick to the guidelines and listen to my pouch ONE DAY at a time. When I think of giving up my whole pizzas forever, I can honestly say I feel sad. (food funeral?) SO, I try to stay in the moment. which is fairly easy right now, in the honeymoon stage. Glad I can talk these things over with others, like you. Have a wonderful evening. Think spring! Cindy

YAHOO for Cindy, so glad you are home and feeling so good!!!!!!!!!!!

Kris, Kris, Kris. . .  How the new kitty mama? I am so happy to be banded and BACK. Ahhh!!!!!!!!!!! It's the best feeling ever. Can't wait to see you and everyone soon. I can only make cofees on Saturdays right now. Hurry Eagan Saturday! Hug!  Your very big day is right around the corner. Are you. . . excited? nervous? numb? Too distracted by your new baby? What? (PM me if you'd like) Cindy

Dang - I felt like I was there with you!  What a way with words you have!

CONGRATS on being on the losers bench!!!!

Frozen Peach, In a way, we can ALL so relate to one anothers' words. That's why I am addicted to reading this board. Thank you for reading my long post. I am 99.9% sure that my long stories are over now. Pre and post entries were loaded. . . Now, it's just the small stuff, right?  (I know better, na.) Hope all is well with you. . .  Hug, Cindy

Congrats and welcome home hun!  Sounds like you have a wonderful support team!  Best wishes on a speedy recovery!

Thank you so much Cheri Lynn! AND YOUR day is coming up. We are so lucky to live in an era where WLS has been improved, aren't we? I remember hearing about "stomach stapling" when I was a child and thinking, "WHAT A FREAKISH thing to do. . . " AND here I am, here we are. . .  receiving one of the best gifts medical technology has to offer.  Good night, (I am sleepier than usual) Cindy 

Hi Cindy.....have you ever thought about being an author...you have the talent!!  I am so glad that all went well for you and that you are back home once again. Welcome Back...and Congratulations!!! Hugs, connie d

Thank you Connie.  I just love to write and read everyone's stories, thoughts, and feelings. I'm trying to remember what I did before OH.com. . .  I think most of my evenings were spen****ching movies with my husband- in the winter anyway. In the summer, we get a bit more creative. . .He doesn't miss me by the tube right now because he's really into watching the primaries. Works out. By the way, your messages are very moving and bring tears to my eyes. Praying for all of you now. Good night, Cindy

Hi Cindy...I just want to thank you for the lovely post and the offer of prayers...that is so kind. Hope you slept well. Hugs, connie d
