OH on the road TEXAS conference

Yesterday and today I was at the AMOS conference in Arlington, TX - it was SO awesome - it had all the people that run this web site, people who have written books about cooking after wls - and so much more. http://www.bariatriceating.com is the web site for the book - The lady that wrote the book gave out samples of her goods - she can make a protein shake taste just like a blizzard from Dairy Queen. One of the guys that runs this board - BO - had 4 people get into his pre-op pants at a time - then someone else topped him - 6 people got into his pre-op pants!! The big themes of the weekend - although you hear them all the time its always good to hear them again - are no potatoes, rice, or pasta, no drinking during meals or you can eat more and defeat the pouch, no sugar or sweetners other then splenda (others spike the blood sugar and make you hungrier in the long run) and finally that nothing tastes as good as thin feels. It was so awesome - if an OH conference comes to a town near you I HIGHLY recommend attending. -Sherrie

Thanks for the report. It sounds great! Joy

Thats so wonderful Sheerie that you were able to attend the O.H. meeting, Thanks for sharing, If one does ever come to Florida I sure will be there, hey did you get the recipe for the Blizzard shake? hugz Mary

I wasn't able to buy the book - I had already spent my "allowance" on another book, a tee shirt, and a pin, and their lunch (yum, cold meatloaf.) but on the website, there are TONS of awesome recipies! -Sherrie

Hi Mary, You can get her book at Barnes and Noble, or maybe Amazon. Her name is Susan Maria Leach and it is called Before and After. I did buy it and hazve read 2 pages, but some of the recipes look really good. Her Blizzard shake is in there I think. Take a look at it in a bookstore, and see what you think! Cathy 271/231/160
