Hi Alex and BariatricPal pals,

I am ready, willing and able to start up, and looking forward to growing a fun, active new Local Chapter here in western San Bernardino County, based near the south Ontario/Chino area. I am tentatively aiming for a Saturday morning monthly group, probably 9:30-11:00am. I will begin looking for a meeting location this week.

If anyone is interested in co-leading this group in this area with me, I'd love to hear from you/meet you, etc.

So, if YOU or anyone you know would be interested in these new, awesome BariatricPal face-to-face meetings in Ontario/Chino, please post a reply so we can start the ball rolling!!!

Thanks, everyone!

Hi NavyMon2006--Glad you found us too! See you on Saturday 11/1!

Going to try and make it. Thanks.

Is it 2 late to rsvp? I forgot about it till today. Last month I was out of state. If its 2 late and theres many people, thats fine. Just checking. I know that Sep there were alot if people.

Hello! It sounds like the weather tomorrow will be pretty bad with possibility of snow so I will probably not make it.

Still doing well two weeks post surgery, just trying to get all that protein! That is a little hard, but next week I can move on to mashed foods so that will make it easier.

Always room for you, Marci! Drive carefully with this rain. I think we'll have a more comfortable-sized crowd this month too. Hope you can make it.

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your update! Been thinking about you. Glad to hear you're doing well, and totally "normal" with struggling to get in all the Protein and water--our biggest challenge right at first. I totally understand--we'll miss you, but I'm glad you won't be out there on the roads dealing with a snow & ice! Hope to see you in December. Keep taking care, and enjoy those mashies. . .

Hi Debbie3sons, thx for coming! Great to meet you! Wish I could have spent more time talking with you. It's always kinda crazy right at the end. Hope you can make it again next month--Dec 6. Try to come early so we can talk before group starts. Take care.
