Niagara Region WLS Support Group Meeting

Jan 17, 2011

Hello Everyone,

Susan and I have met and have been able to set a date to meet again this month.  We apologise again for taking some time off and I hope that you all will be able to start meeting with us again.  We are excited to be able to start offering the meetings again and look forward to seeing everyone and their progress.  A few people have had surgery since our last meeting and I cannot wait to hear about your journeys.

Meeting Details:

Date: Sunday, January 30th, 2011
Time: 2pm - 3pm (or so)
Place:  McBain Community Centre/Niagara Falls YMCA
Room:  "A" (between the cafe and Library)

Please feel free to email for more details at [email protected] or message either myself or Susan on here and we will do our best to respond in a timely manner.

We have decided to go back to meeting on Sundays at the YMCA, because this is where we had the best response of people coming out. 

We will be setting up a regular schedule for meetings to take place here so that you will not have to guess when and where the meetings are being held.

Thank you so much for your patience and we look forward to seeing you there.

Cheers,
Jen and Susan

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Dec 14, 2010

Hi Everyone,

I have to apologize again for not being able to set up a meeting before the New Year.  I know it is a difficult time for a lot of people with Christmas coming not only to find the time to meet but also to make those healthy choices.  Believe me, some days I struggle and I don't always make the best ones.  However, I want to encourage every one to stay strong, and know that it is ok to treat yourself every once in a while.  No one is perfect and what ever your situation is, whether you are waiting for surgery, just had surgery or you are a vetran it will always be difficult to make the right choices.  But just remember you have to make choices that are for you and no one else.  So if you need to have that one little cookie (if you can tolerate it) then do so, it is a lot better than eating in secret or denying yourself and being unhappy with your choices.  Please just make decisions based on your doctor/surgeon/nutritionist's advice.  Don't go overboard and you should be just fine.

I am truly sorry for not being able to schedule any meetings lately as I have been so busy.  I am in the process of starting my own business and I am working with very tight dealines in order to make that happen.  Also, with the holidays upon us and a 2 1/2 year son at home you can imagine how busy we have been.  I hope to be able to set up some regular montly meetings starting in the new year.  I would like to set a schedule up so that we know a few months in advance of when and where the meetings will take place and that should make it easier for everyone to get there.  If anyone has any ideas or thoughts for up coming meetings please let me know and we can try and implement them.  

I want to wish everyone and their families a very Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!  I hope that Santa brings you everything you ask for.  I know that 2010 was a year of new beginnings for me and great accomplishments and will be a year I will be reflecting on and remembering all the good things that happened to me as we move forward into 2011. 

PEACE, LOVE & HAPPINESS IN 2011.

Lots of love and blessings,
Jennifer and Family
