good morning
well i could have waited about posting afterall. my computer is back on i see. lol
was just thinking we need to get a list going of all that will be there on the 19th for sure and then the maybes. I have already called the Golden Corral yesterday and they said it would be great just let them know of a approx. amount of people. so RSVP guys. Jan
Morning Jan - I was wondering (since I obviously didn't see the original post) at which Golden Corral your meeting on the 19th will be? hehehe we have one here in Clinton
yeah...I'm still looking for someone closer to me around Clinton, to have meetings and/or a friendship, but no luck so far. I'm such a shut in.. I can't drive after dark so my LP (Life Partner) drives me after dark. I'm getting closer to my first appt with Dr Hornbostel, nervous is what I'm getting. Man I hope and pray I've collected all the info needed - I'll just flip out if it isn't... I do so want this to work for me. I've loved all the receipes everyone is posting. I'm still trying to figure out what I'll be able to eat - what's Good and what isn't beyond the obvious. NO potatoes? or pasta or rice - I thought rice was good for you? Oh well - thanks for listening Jan.

Anyway would love for you and your life partner to come it is at 6pm on the 19th of December.
rice is a carb that we just dont need. especially white rice. and they say it swells in our pouches and takes up room you need for protein.
what you can eat . they will give you a notebook filled with all sorts of information when you see Dr. H. When is your consult date? i remember the excitement and all. and if you have questions please write them down and have them ready to ask him. he will stop and answer everyone of them for you but if you dont have any he will be in and out fairly quickly. He is a wonderful doctor and Surgeon.
Hopefully you can come to our get together. let me know so i can include you in the head count. Jan
Claudette - you sound so Smart about all this stuff... I just barely know what a carb is much less a refined carb... is that like refined white sugar or white bread?? I don't know much about This stuff at all - how long did it take you to Learn ? If you didn't have someone around to ask how would you find out? I've tried reading nutrition books but honestly they put me to sleep. When I was with my TOPS group we learned to eat on small plates like salad or desert plates - we were allowed to fill the plate as full as we could (within reason) and Never take seconds Ever. I lost over 80 lbs with them - then we moved from Wyoming (home) to Missouri and I lost my support group didn't know anyone and the lbs came back, big time. I know the blessing of having a Good support group and in a little town where everyone knows everyone else it was easy. Down here I don't even have a friend to talk too. I am a bit weird myself and that doesn't help. I'm sort of a hermit type shut in - my husband of 38 years finally retired and is now at home with me all the time - He said he wouldn't mind coming over to Sedalia on the 19th so I can meet some of you guys in person. I went to the Sedalia Seminar last September with my daughter-in-law and I was so overwelmed with how many people were there. My first visit with Dr Hornbostel is Dec 6th and I'm both scared and nervous. I have so many "Other things" wrong with me besides my weight, I'm terrified he won't accept me as a patient when he see's my history. ya know?
I'm on a pretty heft dose of narcotic's 24/7 because of Chronic back pain - and always will be if I weigh this much - losing weight would only make my life easier and maybe I could begin to "live" again instead of hide at home.
Sorry I didn't mean to get off on my problems - hopefully I'll meet you all on the 19th.
Pat
