Support Group Reviews, What Did You Like Best?
I wish I wouldn't have been 30 minutes late because I really wanted to hear Susan and Rhonda's testimonials. I really liked the booths that were setup, I looked at them all, and grabbed a few freebies along the way.
I got me some Baptist pens and Baptist notepads (I actually collect pens and notepads). A very nice lady who was in the booth next to JoBeth's, gave me a weightloss journal. When I got home and really looked at it, I thought to myself that this is something I would buy if I saw it in the store.
It is made by Covidien, and each day has a spot for marking off your fluid intake, exercise and even relaxation time. Plus each day has a section for your food diary, plus to mark off your multivitamin and calcium and also grams of protein. Then the page on the other side is blank for you to keep a journal. Also there is a weekly weightlog and BMI chart and to keep track of support group meetings and dr visits.
I had a great time talking to Wendy, Susan, Lauren. Wendy and I got to talk to two pre-ops about our experiences so far. I don't remember their names, but I am pretty sure they are sisters, and I believe they said their mother had the surgery many years back.
Wendy and I told them about Obesityhelp.com and to come and join. So I hope to see them posting soon.
Oh and I think everyone enjoyed seeing Wendy and I comparing scars *winks at Susan*
Can't wait to see everyone next month.

That was my first time at the support group. (I'm still trying to get a surgeon). I had a good time, too. Lots of information and goodies. Wish I had seen that journal you got. That sounds really nice. I was a few minutes late myself, but did get to see the testimonials (very emotional and motivational). It was very nice to meet Susan. Wish I could have met more of you. I couldn't stay too long, I had a one year old waiting on me and a 3 hour drive home. Anyway, just wanted to say thank you to everyone, and I will be back to more meetings when I can. Everyone was so friendly and helpful.
The greatest thing in life you'll learn, is just to love and be loved in return
