I haven't been to either place, but I would prefer to call ahead and make sure we have seating etc. I figure max of about 10 people at first.

Maybe down the road. Meeting someplace quiet and private I guess would be best until we get to know each other. We could also make it a lunch bunch and bring our healthy Snacks and drinks if allowed. Just an idea.

I'm not sure any restaurant is going to let us meet there and bring our own foods. Is there a tapas place in that area? All tiny portions, and usually some healthy options.

There is always broth, or hot tea for those in the early phases.

No no no lol, I means take Snacks to St. Vincent's. Sorry about the misunderstanding. I know the Brick in Avondale has a cheese and fruit plate you can order. But you decide this after our first meeting at St. Vincent's. Another idea if we have a small group is to meet at our homes, rotate a bit after we get to know each other?

There is also a cafe in St. Vincent's Riverside location. I haven't eaten there, but they serve Soup, and it always smells AMAZING when I pass by on the way to my appts. My hubby and mom ate there the day I had my surgery, and both agreed it was really good. So that might also be an option, and they have something for every stage of postop eating. I just hate that people will have to pay for parking to meet there. I know it's only $2 but still.... How about Sat June 14th or the 28th?

After we get established I would like to set up a meeting/outing on the first Sat one month and get together at the Cummer Art Museum. It's free the first Sat of the month and I think sitting in the garden would be perfect when the weather cools off. We can have our meeting in a beautiful spot, and afterwards those that want to can explore the indoor Art exibits together. A good way to develop friendships. :)

I have been out of town a few days. I missed seeing that June 14 date above, and now see you posted June 28. I am available Saturday June 28 if we can try to get together then. Is anyone else available?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
