Meet and Greet BBQ/Health Seminar – Just a reminder that if you haven't registered for this event you still have time - write here or send me a PM - you still have time - let us know!
We will be doing some recognitions there, so if you know someone who is coming that has done something worthy of recognition - over and above their surgery that is - please let us know so we can evaluate it and decide on best ones that set an example - still need these please - don't be shy!
All are welcome so please let us know if you are thinking about attending so we can make sure we have enough BBQ food and drinks etc. We may not eat as much as non surgery people but we still like to eat - right?....
Don't forger your before and after pictures so we can display the differences! You deserve to show them off! We only have a few so far - again - don't be shy!!

You are invited to Obesity Freedom’s (Jackie Thodos and Sue Baker’s) Meet and Greet BBQ/Health Seminar on June 28th starting at 1pm until ……….around 7pm or whatever time we finish……
We will supply the BBQ meat/fish/water/soft drinks etc and all we ask is that you bring a dish to share (with the recipe, nutritional information and your name where possible) - some kind of healthy dish we can all eat. It can be salads, side dishes, desserts etc just something that everyone will enjoy…….. We will post the good ones on our website afterwards…….
Can you also send me a before and after picture ( send to [email protected]) so we can set them up for everyone to see – these are very inspirational to new ops and people thinking about surgery. Please also bring your success stories as during the day we will do some talking about successes and you want to be able to tell yours.
We also plan to have some raffle/door prizes to add to the fun.
The health seminar part of it will be a live demonstration on powdered vitamins / proteins / anti-oxidants that we will be offering on our web site but we would like you to taste them and give us your opinion on them – if they taste awful please say so - absolutely no obligation to buy unless you want to. No pressure I promise! But we have experts to come and talk about them….. and the benefits for gastric bypass patient’s absorption issues…… they were also featured in the Healthy You magazine late last year..
So a little education and a lot of fun!! Please feel free to bring your other spouses/other halves too – they are all welcome. This is a great opportunity to get in touch with others who have had the surgery, or thinking about it and just spend a few hours chatting, laughing – getting re-energized, learning new recipes
Just send me an email or PM to let us know you will be coming so we can plan to have enough food….. and chairs etc
Looking forward to seeing you all there! It is always a fun time when we get together!
Jackie and Sue…….
. If anyone has any other ideas of things they would like to see there (like Jill's Pole Dancing Video) please let us know and we will try to arrange that............
