 Post op, I always packed some beef Jerky. Is was great for it's protein, allowed me to chew like crazy, and had satisfying flavor. With your new diet, you could even back pack and go hiking , do lots of things you formerly passed. Have a great time.

I'll get myself up and come up that way.  I don't wanna see it die out, either. It's been a fun group to get together with and I like coming up that way every now and then. I don't get to any of them often enough.

Any other of you MG coffee groupers going?

 What sort of post-op diet are you on at 5/6 weeks out?

Every surgeon is different, so you should really just plan ahead and take very easily digestible items with you. Protein powders, hard boiled eggs that you can mush into egg salad, cheese, etc. and lots and lots of bottled water so you don't become dehydrated.

And truthfully, I don't know what kind of camping conditions you'll have, but I personally would bring wet wipes for bathroom calls, especially that early out.

Hey guys!  I know I haven't been to coffee for a very long time but I'm on OH several times a day and get encouraged by what you all have to say.  I'm still trying to get this last 20 lbs off.  I've only lost .2  in the last month.  That point two.  Super slow.  At this rate it will take 3 more years.  Lol.
My mind is made up and I WILL lose all my weight.  18.6 to go.   
     They say the last 10% of the weight is 50% of the work. Hang in there and MAKE it happen.

 I was going to do some travelling coffee groups, but I love my So of the River group and after that will be out  of town for 6 of the next 8 weeks. I'll be available in Mid August, Keep posting, there are a lot of new people that would like some tips and encouragement. I need their enthusiasm, so it really is a win-win when people get together

We meet at the Byerly's in the Caribou coffee shop. Generally, we use the big long table, and you can't miss us.

Can't wait to see you then!

I'll be there- will try for 8:30.  :)  Where do you usually sit there?  I've only been to Panera meetings so far.
