Lurking and intro...

Hello Minnesotans!

Been peeking in on you for a couple months and thought I would say hello :)

I had Gastric RNY on April 10th so tomorrow is my 2 month anniversary.
I've been very lucky so far since I haven't found anything that makes me sick. (crosses fingers!) and I'm VERY thankful that coffee does not bother me...

Nice to know there are some locals out there going through this too and hope to make one of these weekend coffee meets soon.  Do you bring your own contraband sugar-free syrups?

Welcome and congrats on your surgery!

I am pretty new to the boards myself, but everyone has been friendly so far.

I am pre surgery myself, I should be getting my approval any day now. (I hope!)

Hi, welcome! Glad you decided to post, and hope to meet you sometime if you attend the Burnsville or Eagan coffee.

Welcome.....There is a group of us that meets at the Caribou coffee in Maple Grove off Elm Creek Blvd. at 8:30 am. every other Saturday.....Watch the boards for posting.....

As for sugar-free syrups, MOST coffee shops have several flavors available!  My fave is Hazelnut - they ALL seem to carry that!  And caramel, some have almond - they have their availability usually posted behind the counter.

Do join us sometime!

Welcome!  We only bite if you ask us to and then only if we need some protein.

Welcome Mary...!!  Hope to meet you soon!!

Welcome to the MN board!

No contra-band is usually necessary, but if you have something you've just gotta have in your coffee, then bring it. I know some bring their own flavored Splenda, etc.

Best wishes & continued success on your journey.

Hi ya Mary!!  I was lurking myself and saw your post so I had to say hi.  

I have been thinking about attending the Saturday coffee even though I don't drink coffee.  It would be great to meet people off the board for a support system, even though I haven't had my surgery yet (still in the process) I won't be submitted for approval until September.

 It's good to see you posting here.
