hello everyone!  

For our meeting next week I would like for everyone to bring a piece of clothing the largest size you wore before WLS. This should be fun!  I got rid of all my big stuff so I am going to the thrift store today. Have a great rest of the week and see you next Tuesday. 

Well the surgery went well. They took a huge orange-sized cyst that was on one of my ovaries as well as a couple more repairs. I am resting and taking it easy. Going to try to be at Grp Tuesday tho. May not be able to stay the whole time. But I want to be there. 

Now as soon as I recover from this surgery, in six weeks, I am getting back to the gym!! Never thought I would want to do that so much huh?  I know how important it is to get and stay in shape. May we are going on a cruise to Alaska. So I need to be in the best shape possible. Getting all my ducks in a row!  Lining up a house-dog sitter, shopping for cruise clothes,(fun!).  Loving on my new grand daughter. What a cutie she is.  As well as watching my three yr old grand daughter. My life is definitely full!  Hope everyone has been working your plans. Whatever they are. Remember, when we fail to plan, we plan to fail. Hope to see you all at Grp tues night.  

Here we are in February already!  I had pre op appointments all day today. Nothing WLS related, just pesky female stuff!  Having surgery on the sixth. Recovery of six weeks. Can't wait to get back into the gym. We went to Monterey yesterday and spent the day hiking around Point Lobos. It was such a beautiful warm, sunny day!!  It felt good to finally be able to walk without pain in my knees after surgery last year. I am really tired of surgeries!  

Wow!  I am exhausted!  Been packing my 82 yr old mom up and moving her to San Jose into my brother and sil home!  I have been her caretaker for over 8 yrs and it is definitely time for brother to step up. So thankful!  So in the doing for her I get lost in there. I also watch my granddaughters a few days a week. Would not give that up for anything. Love them to the moon and back. Soooo, keeping myself motivated and on track is sometimes a challenge. Being out 6 yrs I can eat most anything but I still eat mainly protein and veg!  Maintaining 120 lb loss.  My labs are good, still do vites and protein shake religiously. Have female probs that will require surgery next month. So I have not been to the gym. Need that so badly!!  This is going to be an awesome year!!

in December I had my six year check up at kaiser in Fremont. I got to see Dr Chu and talked to her about support groups. She believes support groups are important to our long term success. She showed me pictures of her adorable children. She was supposed to be my surgeon and went off on maternity leave before she could do my surgery. Dr O'Brien was awesome as usual. All my labs were good. Need to step up the exercise, when my latest surgery (long story) recovery is over. I hope all of you have made good decisions in your daily lives to get healthier and live your lives to the fullest and the best you can. Our next Grp mtg will be the 22nd.  Hope you all attend. Looking forward to another great meeting!!

 

 

 

 

 

Hope everyone has found your way here!  We had a great mtg last night. Next meeting will be in January on the 8th. Be sure to bring your laptops or tablets. We will be setting everyone up on OH accounts.  Hope all have a blessed Christmas and a happy new yr!  By the time I see you my new g-daughter will be here!  See ya soon!

I cannot believe it has been nearly 6 yrs since my RNY!!  It has been a great adventure!  I have maintained without too much trouble and I am still thrilled when I see the reflection of a healthy normal weighted person in the mirror. It has been nothing less than a miracle in my life.  My sweet dil had rny and has lost about 160 lbs. she is now expecting our second g-daughter the end of Dec.  My son had rny 3 mos ago and has lost almost 80 lbs and is on his way to being much healthier!  Much more to come so stay tuned!  Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and looking forward to aa blessed Christmas!

Be there or be square!!  Let's all get back into the groove!  We have great plans for our group this year, so no matter where you are in the weight loss process come join us for exciting speakers, great support and awesome discussion!
