Wenda-

Have a fabulous trip and I hope you'll enjoy good weather.

Hi Everyone,

I am so happy to hear of everyone's progress!!

I have some news, I am going to Turkey at the end of December. I was going to wait to hear something on the waiver we filed before my next visit, but it will have been over a year since we have seen each other and it is just too long!!!

I leave on December 28 and will fly back on January 13. I wish it could be for longer, but I will take what I can get. Even though our relationship has been for 2 1/2 years, it will be our first New Year's together. I am so excited!! I hope and pray that everything goes well.

Merhaba Everyone

Sorry I have not been able to be here much, been very busy with work especially now because of the holidays! Hope Everyone here has been doing well.

Since my husband has been back we have been busy getting him settle again and planning ahead for our future. First he got his old job back at the bank and then he got his driver's license and soon we will be looking into buying a new car, he really needs one to get around and for his work.

Soon after the holidays are over I will start to work part-time (as requested by hubby) because I have been too tired as of lately and he has been noticing this whenever I got home and said I needed a break, what a darling husband!

Debra, glad to hear your husband is in the process of his "Removal of Conditions", Good Luck to you both with that and hope you hear something soon.

Awaterlily, soon you will be doing the same and Good Luck to you too.

Wendy, you're finally going to Turkey! I am happy for you to be going too, you and Yilmaz have been separated too long already and need to be together soon!

Debbie, hope to see your new self soon.

And to Everyone else here hope you're all happy and to those waiting to be with their loved ones soon!

Take care always Everyone,

Mina

Merhaba and Happy Thanksgiving to all!

I'm sorry to say that I have not been getting notices when someone posts on this thread up until today! I see I missed a lot and I hope none of you think I was being rude and not answering your posts... But I'm glad I finally got a notice to check out todays posts because I never have time to come on here unless I get a notice of a new post! So hopefully I will start getting them again.

Anyway... To catch you all up I have been doing ok since surgery. To date I have lost 77lbs. (31lbs. prior to surgery in Sept.). It's a new part time job for me trying to make my new stomach happy! It's very frustrating trying to figure out what to eat, what will sit well, and trying to get all the protein in that I need in a day. I am often not feeling too well with neausea and vomiting. Everyone who has had this surgery and is past the 1 year anniversary ensures me that it will get better in time... Hurry up time!!! But I can't complain, it could be much worse...

Resul finally got his driving permit in late Oct. and has a 12/28 date for his driving test! I can't believe that they make you wait 3 months before you can take the road test. He's not happy with his job, he was hired PT but getting FT hours and over the last month they have cut his hours to 20 or less which is not good. Unfortunately he has to stay with it until he gets his driver's license and can go look for a new FT job. Right now he can at least walk to this job in 10 minutes. But fortunately his hours are back up right now due to the holidays.

Other than that we are doing great!

Wendy I was so happy to hear that you will go to Turkey in a few weeks to see your honey! Hooray for you! It's going to be such a wonderful reunion for the both of you! Have a fabulous trip and savor every moment!

Awaterlilly! Your daughter is getting so big and more beautiful everytime I see your new avatar pic! You are so blessed!

Good luck on your new journey of lifting conditions Debra! I hope you hear something this week and your file is transfered to CA like you wished for! Keep us posted.

And Mina I know you are soooooooo busy right now in retail! I 've been there and done that years ago and I feel your pain! Keep your chin up and see that carrot dangeling before you to go PT after the holidays! Lucky girl you! Glad to hear your hubby got his old job back and is driving! Hooray! Hopefully Resul will be driving soon!

I will try to add some new pics to our profile for those of you who want to see the progression of my weight loss! Thanks for asking and wishing me well! Take care and get ready for the holidays they are just around the corner now!

I just love that picture of your daughter!! What a beautiful child. Cok Guzel!!

I am getting excited about my trip, and have bought a few new things. I mean, you always have to buy a few new things when you go away, right? I can't believe today is December 1. Crash diet for me. (but of course everytime I say this, I end up gaining weight instead of losing it. Oh well, I will give it another try!!

Thanks for thinking of me and asking how everything is going.

I hope everyone is well and have fun getting ready for the holidays!!

Take Care,

Wendy

Such a nice age. I remember my niece at that age. Just a joy and loved to watch them for hours!!! Little comedians they are.

Debra, I hope you and your family are safe.

Take care everyone.

Sorry for not posting any sooner, been so busy working.

Thank you for thinking about us, here in Washington State. Thank God our town was not hit so bad, but I-5 north is closed. God willing the water will go town as quickly as possible.....

I have attached a photo of the town that was hit really bad....I-5 goes right thru this little town.....Sooo sad! I wish the best for these towns people.

I am at work right now and really should get busy.

Take care everyone and I will try to post again in a few days.

Peace!

Debbie
