Topic: RE: Monday Again? WLS Express!

Saundra did you buy your bling from me? I was so overwhelmed at times, I didn't get to talk to everyone that I wanted to. I wish you had introduced yourself-do you look like your avatar? Please forgive me for not speaking to you personally, but I guess I didn't recognize you (or you came by my booth when I wasn't there, lol).

Lisa, find a good "head shot" and go to shrinkpictures.com and click on avatar. It is free and easy.

So glad you like your necklace. You can look on my website and order from there. Just don't wait too long cuz if I'm out of a certain charm, it might be hard to get the closer to Christmas we get. My website is www.StephiesLoveLockets.com.

Topic: RE: Member Challenge

I would like to challenge everyone on the TMB to UPDATE their pictures. I met so many NEW people and most of ya'll didn't look anything like your profile pics. It is so much easier to feel connected to each other when we look the same in real life as we do in our pics. Thank God for NAME TAGS...I can't tell you how many times at the conference I read someone's name tag and introduced myself cuz if it had been face recognition only, I would of walked right on by.

Also please everyone, take a few minutes this week and update your profiles. I know I definately need to make a current post on mine. As a newbie, I read a lot of people's profiles to get a feel for what I was about to "undergo". So please pay it forward by doing these two things.

Topic: RE: Question about Houston

They don't send out questionaires but if you have a specific question or comment you can contact http://www.obesityhelp.com/member/kim_inca7/ and speak with her directly. I sent her a PM after the last event with my critique of the speakers and topics and what we would like to see in the future and she definately listened.

Topic: RE: TMB peeps- thank you!

Thanks Miss Shelly for the shout-out. Wish we'd had more time to talk.

I didn't have a chance to hear Dr Garth's talk but I know from personal experience as well as from watching my friends struggle with regain that SOLID protein fills us up and keeps us full longer-PERIOD. Should we all eat more fruits and veggies?-sure but only AFTER we've had our solid protein. If I were to eats salads and fruit only, I'd be starving in an hour.

Topic: RE: Does anyone else add milk to their protein?

I'm a Barker Babe as well and he told me the same thing (3+ years ago) due to the added calories. I use Hood's Calorie Countdown instead of milk but ONLY cuz my tummy doesn't tolerate milk. Like I told Dr B...my shakes are about 220 calories each and since I use them as a "meal replacement", it works for me. If milk works for you, I say go for it.

Topic: RE: OH THANK YOU TO TEXAS!

Kudos for putting together an extremely successful event. Unfortunately as a vendor I wasn't able to hear any of the speakers but I heard over and over that the topics this year were pertinent to everyone. Thanks for listening to us and putting together a program to fit our needs. I did get to attend the "grad board" and it was wonderful and greatly appreciated.

Topic: RE: How long to drive to OH????

Meggie, take I-45 to Corsicana where you'll see the sign for Russell Stover's. (It will be on your left) It's kinda across from that stupid Sonic where I locked myself INSIDE the bathroom. The Buc*ees will have a MILLION billboards along 45 to tell you which exit to take. It is also on the left hand side of the freeway in Madisonville. If you want some KILLER BBQ and homemade stuff like NSA jams/jellies etc, go to Woody's in Centerville (exit 164) in a shell gas station on the left. They are known as the "Jerky Capital of the World"~can you tell that my road trips are all about the stops, lol?

Topic: RE: How long to drive to OH????

Meggie, I'm with you. I love those 100 calories SF snack bars. My favorite is Chocolategranola, Clay's is the cinnamon. I hope we stop too cuz we're out of them and you're absolutely right, you can't find them anywhere. If you plan on 5.5 hours, you will have MORE than enough time.

Topic: RE: So how did you really do? Wednesday Edition

I did really well today. For lunch I put 4oz of london broil, 1 oz of cheddar cheese and 3 crackers on my plate. I ended up eating 2 oz of meat, 1/2 oz of cheese and 2 crackers-I put the rest back. That is HUGE for me cuz I'm a member of the "clean you plate club".

Topic: RE: Free clothes!

Those are the hardest sizes to find at the conference. I know for years I've brought tons of stuff and have come home empty handed so I'd love it if they went to some of our WLS peeps. Either Jodie or I could come pick them up-just let us know. (Plus I wear an 8/10 so I would love to take a look).

Topic: RE: Question about what to wear at OH Conference

I'm wearing jeans Friday for the M&G, Saturday a dress for the fashion show. One year we bought out the hotel giftshop of hoodies and another year we all ended up in the clothing exchange room fighting over coats and sweaters. They keep those room FREEZING cold!! For the conference itself-very casual cuz you'll be sitting all day.

Topic: RE: Back to work Monday WLS Express!

I ended up with a 4 day weekend. Didn't even know I had today off until I glanced at my schedule yesterday. So glad I'm off cuz yesterday I felt like I had the flu without a fever. Did manage to go to our monthly dinner with friends but then came home and went right back to sleep. Slept 10 hours and finally feel better.

Rowlett High School's marching band placed first in Area and are going to State so tonight, if I feel up to it, I'm going to go to Stadium practice to watch them perform. I miss be involved in that so much. OK, better go answer some emails...later.

Katy, there's a private OH group call the "Mainstayers" for people that are over 2 years post-op and who are struggling with maintaining or a little regain. Contact Paige for an invite (see the accountability thread).
