I'd be interested in an online support group. My center only has meetings every other month and I feel like I'd prefer to have more accountability than that!

I would also be super interested in a group that follows books and workbooks. I'm looking into the books posted above! 😃

Yay! That's awesome! Did you take the poll, please?

It's one and the same private club. We will have weekly online support meetings face to face via Zoom and will have a private group only accessible by BAC (Bariatric Accountability Club) members on FB. We will also do FB Live meetings/interviews with leaders in the bariatric world-docs, psychs, RDs, fitness people. Etc. And we will also have a book club. I think that will meet every couple of weeks? Also live face to face via Zoom.

We'll provide a basic sample meal plan that people are welcome to use, modify, make their own and we will also provide access to our MFP food diary so you can go visit it and see other examples of daily eating. There will also be free recipes and some video recipes. There will also be a cooking lesson at least every couple of weeks. And of course you can go hang out in the group and get lots of peer support as well.

I'm putting everything together now and hope to have it ready by Jan.1. I'm still trying to figure out the monthly subscription rate--trying to keep it as low as possible and still cover present and future costs.

It is NOT intended to take away from BP. It's intended as an ADDITION to our Bariatric Pal home. For those needing more in depth support.

We're also going to try to figure out how to set up appointments 1 on 1 with either an accountability partner, or with psychologists and also RDs. But that is Stage 2 down the road.

Picked up the recommended book (it's free on Kindle Unlimited) and will order the workbook after Christmas. Really looking forward to this group.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
