As some of you know, Clare is going in for a bit of a procedure this week. Here's a place to collect all good thoughts for her.

Remember always mate, that you're a beautiful person and we love you not matter what size or shape you are! :wub:

Yes we do. You will feel so much better to be healthy which will make you happy.


I can`t think of a more desserving person than you Clare. I`m in your corner all the way!
You say you want to save humanity but it`s people that you just can`t stand
John came to me in a dream and this is what he said. "I had a vision of a man on a flaming pie, and he told me that Betsy with a B not Lisa with a L is the biggest fan of mine". John trumps 'the boss' !

(((Clare))) I wish you the BEST success for a perfect surgery. February 7th is a special day in our family and now for you too. My family will say a prayer for you. Can you let us know about what time the surgery is? I think if we send special thoughts for you during this time, it will give you a special blessing. Sorry guys.....I believe in good and bad vibes, so all good vibes during her day and during surgery will be a good thing.

Can't wait. I'm such a Starbucks wh*re.

I thought about you the other day when I ordered a cinnamon latte. Of course, I opted for the one with all the calories but I DID ask them to leave off the sprinkles and they did! They'll do just about anything to see their tip jar full at the end of their shift! ;)

Btw, I can tell you my own Starbucks "duh" moment. . .

I got the Paul McCartney Starbucks card in June when MAF was released. I didn't have it even a week, before the barrista rang up my purchase and I didn't realize until I got home that she hadn't returned the card to me. :angry: :duh: I still had a small balance remaining. :angry:

I purchased another Paul card and I had that one until just before Christmas, when, in the midst of a huge crush of customers and overdue orders, the cashier on duty also failed to return the card. I was late for work, and didn't even notice in all the confusion that she hadn't given back my card. This time, I DID return to the store and spoke to the manager who referred me to corporate. They sent me a new card and reinstated my balance, but sadly, it was just a generic Starbucks card. :cry:

I bought a copy of the MAF Deluxe CD/DVD, just to get the Paul Starbucks card (complete with $5.00 balance) again! (I already own 2 other copies of MAF. :blush: :rolleyes:) Well, just last week, I presented my Paul card at a drive-thru Starbucks and the cashier . . . erm, I mean, "barrista" told me that my card balance had been used up and I still owed him money on my order. He was just getting ready to THROW AWAY MY CARD (!!!) when he stopped and asked if I wanted it back. I think he could see the panic and anger in my eyes!!! I grabbbed that card so fast I almost took off his hand!! :lol: :hyper: :nono:

I'm a Starbucks addict, too. Clare, just don't take in too much too fast....caffeine is a definite no-no especially at first; it's just hard on the new pouch. (I forgot if you got the lap band or the gastric bypass; it makes somewhat of a difference on the sugar your body can handle; you DON'T want to DUMP)!

I drink a "Skinny Mocha" which is a sugar-free non-fat mocha....yummy! Remember that the latte's are the only drinks you should consider for a long time because they're mostly milk with a few shots of coffee. There is the milk-sugar (lactose) that may cause you some problems in the beginning if you're not careful. Starbucks has lots of sugar-free syrups; cinnamon dolce (one of my other favs), vanilla, carmel & hazelnut.

You'll be surprised how quickly the weight will come off; I've lost 170 lbs and just got through with a full abdominoplasty and arm lift (on the same day as your surgery)! I considered it "Part Two" of my transformation of being healthy and it feels great to get rid of all that extra skin!

Keep up the good work, girl! :clap: :flower:

I had the lap band, so fortunately I don't dump, but I eat like I've had RNY. So, no sugar anyway.

I just went to Starbucks last Saturday. Had a SF Caramel Macchiato. Heaven!

Maybe. Just maybe. A very tentative maybe, actually.

Clare, how's the weight loss going??

I just watched a segment about gastric bypass on 60 Minutes and learned just how many benefits can be gained from losing large amounts of weight and keeping it off.

All of the people who had had the procedure had been diabetics and now none of them are. These people have been able to get off all the meds they'd been taking for high blood pressure, and all of them were now free of sleep apnea.

Just wondering if you've experienced any other benefits besides looking slimmer? :unsure:




Why?
