Agenda for Saturday's Meet and GreetBBQ/Health Seminar!!

I am so looking forward to seeing everyone again too - I love these types of gatherings because you can never have enough good friends and I have made lasting friendships through these types of meetings. Everyone has something to offer even if they think they don't - there might be something they do that others haven't thought of and that can help us out.  Plus it is so cool to hang around people who know what you are going through, where no expanations are necessary and where there is no judging of others - just help, encouragement and love! I am getting all sentimental here lol!! I so love this community! Jackie

I'm having "issues" today. I just cannot be thankful/grateful enough to and for others. I'm so emotional and I have been embraced and have embraced so many and I am loving the rekindling of old connections and the building of new ones. I am all over the map with things today. Ok enough already!

Sounds great and looking forward to being there. I will be coming with Kat and still trying to figure out what I want to bring since I do not cook much anymore.

Well Mrs. Pat if your not cooking how are you feeding the diabetic diet? That dosent sound good  now now am I gonna have to come down there after you missy lol. We must cook to follow the rule. But we will talk about it  on Sat.

Pat you don't have to cook - you could bring water or fruit or something like that......... napkins, cups, cutlery -just let me know if it is any of the above so we don't fall over ourselves by having hundreds of them lol!! Jackie

Hi Jackie, Sorry to miss the BBQ,  but as you know we are taking advantage of a once in a lifetime trip. My husband is currently on a USNS oiler in between Honolulu and San Diego. I fly out Friday to meet him once his ship docks.  Can't wait for Oahu and Kauai! And Kona decaf. Please feel free to share my personal email addy and phone number with Ferguson, who has posted here also. Thanks and see you and Bill in July! Diana

Hello all,    I came to my first meeting with you all last month. I am sorry to say that I will not be able to attend this function on Saturday, I recently began learning to ride a motorcycle and will be out riding with the group for more learn time which I will need so I do not kill myself or someone else due to lack of experience. I had my first meeting with the indended surgeon today. He wants me to start the modified Atkins diet.  What is a modified Atkins diet? I have done Atkins before but do not know what the modified is. If someone can please point me in the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. I would like to start eating modified atkins way on Sunday. I look forward to seeing you all in July and am really sorry that I will miss all of the fun on Saturday. We have tentatively set up a surgery date of Sept. 2nd, 2008 with a lot of pre-surgical testing in between. I will be having the roux n y by Dr. A. Moazzaz at FOH. Please also, let me know when the meeting is in July so that I can be sure to be there. Thanks, here is looking forward to this much anticipated and scarey journey to the new me. I value any and all helpful suggestions and support so that one day I too can be helpful to someone else.  See you all in July and have a blast on Saturday.  Lynn ;-)
