Topic: 2nd Saturday Support Session Feb 11, 2011 Henry Medical Stockbridge
GA Losing for Life Support Group
You are cordially invited to join us for a 2nd
Saturday Support Session. Meet new friends,
share your experiences, and learn more
about weight loss surgery. Pre and post-
operative patients of all weight loss surgery types are welcome.
When: 2nd Saturday of every month
11:00am-12:00pm.
Our next meeting is Saturday, Jan 8, 2011
Where: Henry Medical Center
1133 Eagle's Landing Parkway
Stockbridge, GA 30281
We will meet in the Foundation Education Building. Take
the stairs or elevator to the 2nd floor. Look for the
WLS support Group Sign.
You can reach me at 678-860-8806 if you are lost or need more information.
???Why???
1. Studies have shown wls patients who are
actively involved in a support group have more long
term success in losing and keeping the weight off.
2. While family and friends, can offer support and
encouragement, nothing compares to the knowledge
and first hand experience of people just like you who
have had surgery themselves, or are going through the
approval process.
3. Many insurance companies require active
participation in a bariatric support group in order to
approve wls.
4. You'll meet new friends and have lots of fun!

Topic: RE: This is What I Do Not Understand
What should I eat for breakfast. I am very tight and have been told it is important to have breakfast. It will helpjumpstart metabolism. What do you think about the protein shakes. think I should keep the 1/2 banana and leave out the p.nut butter and milk.I honestly love them they fill me and I probably could live on 2 a day and just have supper. What do you think. I see about the creamer, okay will change that asap. what about in between snacks if I do get hungry. Took the MOM and I am now cleaned out. I really was worried and getting a little scared. Also bought the Benefiber no taste and I am gonna put it into my morning coffee and my water jug. I welcome your help and suggestions.
Well the milk of magnesia worked and in a mighty big way. so happy. I was really getting scared. Hoping that the benefiber i bought will help me stay stable. Thank you all for all your help and support down to 238 today.

Topic: RE: Support Group near Covington/Conyers...???
Nope - just called - they told me it was only for Dr. Maynard's patients. :/ Oh well - will continue my drive to Atlanta!
Topic: RE: This is What I Do Not Understand
I agree with CC. I didn't have the same type surgery you did either. It looks like a lot of carbs to - .me(oatmeal, creamer,banana, chicken noodle, onions, cucumber, tomatoes-not sure about dressing or protein powder - I would check on the carbs in these. I really try to limit mine each day and try to stick to good carbs only. I tried adding some back in but it just makes me want more. I think you can get too many good carbs also. You might want to try Hazelnut coffee with plain creamer. The flavored creamers I looked at had more calories, sugars and carbs than the plain creamer or FF milk.
Good luck and hang in there.

I didn't have the same surgery...but this early out I would omit the oatmeal, creamer ,use skim milk or 2% milk, butter and PB...be careful of the dressings..most are high in fat..esp the oil in the dressing
Also, chicken noodle soup has carbs,.. I ate egg drop soup.
.I omitted all carbs (only had carbs from friuit and veggies) for the first 8 months...
Just my 2 cents but I'm down to goal wt..... and a wonderful size 6/8....

At 2:00 i will have a Jillian Whey Choc. Protein shake with 1 cup of ice, 1/2 banana, 2 tbsp. of p.nut butter, 1 scoop of protein powder, 1/2 cup 1% milk and 1 cup of water. Put into my bullet blender and have a great protein shake.
It is now 4:30 and I just had a big bowl of Healthy Choice Chicken Noodle. Lower Sodium (390 g).
I am staying away from high sodium stuff it set me back a week ago today by 4 lbs. and it took me all week to get those 4 lbs off again. No more. Sip on 32 oz. water thru evening.
around 7 tonight i will have a salad with johsonville salami snack bites (prob 4 or 5) slices up in the salad. i put lettuce, little onions, banana peppers, a few olives, cucumber, a few baby tomato's. dressing is homemade by my wonderful husband. Not sure but low fat, low cal. low carb. very little sodium. Another 32 oz water.
