A few things

[Guest guest]

Hi everybody,

Dear and others,

Well, it seems that May 4/5 will be a very good day for an eventual

international Bandsters day. How many people on the list will get

their operations on those dates ?

Sorry, I can't help you with your question, as I didn't have my band in

Monterrey (but in Switzerland, and lap). Good luck !!!

Dear Dorit,

What's a webring ? Is it " just " links that might be of interest for

compulsive eaters, or is it an exchange of e-mails, like on this list ?

By the way, you guys (Kim, Dorit and Barbara) are so good in making web

sites ! They are brilliant, and so interesting. I will work on

my bio, Kim. Might need somebody correct my English, though.

Unless my typing accent is as charming as it seems the French accent is

for English speaking people ... :-)

Dear Dorit,

Let's hope this trip to Jerusalem will be your last " duty " before

approval by your insurance company ! I wish you all the best ...

Dear Molly,

You're back !!! Great ! You sound a bit down, like in

pain. I hope you're doing well. Tell us about it please.

......Last week I went on an almost all protein and dropped about 5lbs.

in one week .....

Dear Tina (my twin sister),

When you say that you went on an almost all protein last week, what did

you eat ? Did you just have protein drinks, or was is a sort of

protein diet ?

I'm trying to have protein drinks at leat one meal a day, and if

possible two. I won't last long ... It just doesn't go through

well, not because of the band, but because of the taste. I prepared

the first one with water, a small banana and strawberries, and it was

just yukky. Now, I prepare it with skimmed milk, banana and

strawberries. Not as bad, but still yukky for me. Moreover, I'm

not too much of a milk person. I will try to replace the milk by

fruit juice, even though it will be too rich in sugar. Any other

ideas ??? Otherwise, I try to eat a lot (a lot - LOL) of fish, or

seafood, or eggs, as I don't eat a lot of meat. I know that I have

to improve my daily protein intake.

...... I " ll deny that I know you and the attendant will hose you down,

...... but at least I'll know you are there .....

Dear Sue,

Well, at least we recognise who the true friends are LOL LOL

...... I like you and never noticed your weight before .....

Dear Jo,

Yes, thank God, there are people like that who appreciate you for what

you are and don't even notice what you look like. Great feeling,

isn't it ?

30 kgs is a great weight loss ! Still hoping to reach that goal

too.

Are you still incapacitated from your car accident ? How long is it

going to last ?

Dear Lois and Jo,

Have you heard about Steph ? Has she moved to Brisbane yet ? I

don't even know whether she still was going to do it. Or perhaps

you, Aussie Jo-Ann, are still in touch with her ... I hope she's

doing ok and she will reconsider to come back on the list.

Dear ,

So good to see you back on the list !!! But you sound rather

down. What's up dear ? You have had such nice words for Debi M,

after all she's done to you. Well, it's probably the best way to take

things. Resentment has never been a good adviser.

Thank you for being back !

Dear Denny and Lori,

I'll go to my doctor surgery tomorrow to give your replies to his

secretary. Let's see what it will think of your suggestions

.... This doctor is not the one who did my surgery. I had it in

Lausanne (50 km from here). In the meantime, this surgeon arrived in

my little town and does the gastroplasty surgery here. He now does

the follow up and adjustments on me. He is very understanding and a

good listener, too. Yes, I'm lucky.

Dear Aly,

I'm pretty sure that we will meet on icq. Usually, I'm a rather

sleepless person, even though lately I've slept more than normal

.... :-)

Lots of love to all !
