I went to a support group meeting this week. It was my first one. They gave out a FITbook. a twelve week game plan for weight loss. it is tracking your progress. I think it might be beneficial. I have had good luck since my sleeve, I have not been sick or thrown up. I heard some really bad issue people have had since surgery. I hope I don't gain any weight since, I don't seem to be afraid of eating. What makes a good support group?

I went to my first one last night, too. They had a physical therapist discussing exercise. She was surprised that the group was so knowledgeable about the subject. I think that, like a lot of people who have always been thin, she assumed that weight issues are caused by a lack of education.

Anyway, the topic sparked some good discussion and I learned about new opportunities in my area, so it was good. Oh, and I also won the door prize! Vitamins and Protein shakes, along with some bath salts.

Looks like we're in the same area - did they hand out this list at the meeting you attended?

Congrats on the door prize!

No, I didn't get this list - though they had previously given me a list of three. Thanks for sharing! I went to the mtg at Plano Presby (where I had the surgery).
