telephone support group has room for new members
My support group has room for new members, if anyone is interested. It's a telephone support group that meets via conference call every Tuesday from 7:30 to 8:30 EST. Currently all members have had gastric bypass surgery, but pre op members and those having other forms of WLS are welcome as well. All current members are also women, though men would also be welcome to join.
The group is not professionally facilitated. Instead, members take turns facilitating, which basically involves choosing a topic, making sure we start and end on time, and making sure every that wants to talk gets a chance to talk and that the group stays on track. Some past topics have included dealing with head hunger, staying on track. body image, food addiction, setting goals, and mental health issues. Next Tuesday it is my turn to facilitate and we are going to talk about the things that might trigger us to get off track and how to prepare for them.
If anyone is interested or has any questions, please PM me. I think it's a great group. We're looking for members that can commit to participating on a regular basis. Of course things sometimes come up and people have to miss a session, but we prefer people to be there more often than not.

That's great.

I noticed I didn't say in my original post, but the group is from 7:30 to 8:30 PM. Just wanted to clarify.

I thought you might have been thinking AM and realized I didn't specify.
