My first group meeting...

02/20/07

Today I went to my first group meeting. It was at Mercy Hospital at 5:00pm. I guess it was alright I don't know how helpful these meetings are going to be. We went around the room and talked about basic nutrition and what it meant to me. It was kind of silly everyone of course said almost the same thing and there isn't too many different answers. I just think the closer I get the meetings will be more for support than really teaching any of us anything we don't already know. But, it's what the doctor wants and what he wants he will get.

I got a big surprise when I got weighed!!! Since seeing Dr. Bonomo I have lost 5 lbs. I told the nurse can we do this again I think your scale is broken!! She laughed and asked why? I told her I had lost five pounds in the last 2 weeks without any real effort and I was just surprised.

The only thing I have changed is I switched from sugar to splenda in my coffee and I am using lite creamer instead of regular.

I drank a couple bottles of water with crystal light.

So I was shocked and of course Happy!!!

I go to the nutritionist on Friday and hopefully all goes well there!!

Oh wow 5 pounds is wonderful....you are on your way. LOL

I agree, it's not like they are teaching us anything new! 5 pounds gone...Great! Keep it going!
