Hi Holly -
I can't comment on the support group and nutritionist in Colorado Springs....I had surgery in Denver. BUT...my therapist is in Colorado Springs and she is AWESOME! She is trained as a drug/alcohol counselor but is VERY MUCH in tune with food issues AND she did pysch evals for WLS for many years.
Dona Sanders, LPC, CACIII, PC
4760 Flintridge Dr., Suite 250 (Flintridge and Acadmey, next to ENT)

Hope this helps!

Topic: colorado springs questions
I have read conflicting info about when the Penrose support group meeting is...does anyone know the current info?
Does anyone have a nutritionist in the springs that they can recommend?
Does anyone know of a therapist who deals with weight issues?
I am over a year out- still below goal- but gaining and very nervous.
Thanks-
Holly
Topic: RE: plastic surgeons
Have you checked with the surgical group who did your WLS to see if they know of anyone? How about the yellow pages? I know, a personal recommendation is much much better, but it's a thought.
Topic: 34 LBS. GONE IN THE FIRST MONTH!!!
Hi everyone:
Made it to my appointment today. I knew I had lost weight (At least two pant sizes) but just look at where I was this time last month BEFORE the surgery and then take a good look at where I am now...
MARCH 1st (Just before I began my clear liquid diet in preparation for surgery....
And this is where I stand AS OF TODAY
As you can see, I passed for 19 yards and got a first down. :D
I am SO happy.
And to think my certified trainer of a brother doesn't think lap bands work!! YO BRO - I AM LIVING PROOF!! (Sorry...Just had to toot my horn and do a little sibling bragging *LOL!*).
I went from 311 lbs. down to 277 lbs.
If you wish, you can read the of this abbreviated version of my blog post here (Permalink).
