"Newbie" questions and comments

OK, I don't know if I am STILL considered a newbie (after 2 weeks) but I have some general questions I'd like to put out there for the more experienced members...and some comments about what I've seen so far... I noticed on the PMRI support group schedule that some topics are scheduled for just one session; some for two (like a Saturday morning and a Monday nite). Are they two part meetings or the same presentation done twice? I'm asking because I couldn't make today's (Saturday's) meeting and I want to attend on the Monday one so I don't miss out. Is that OK or ????. I really like the way EVERYONE shares such practical experiences on what to expect (physically and emotionally), what to eat, where to buy foods...I'd be so lost without it!!! One of my greatest fears is messing up (aka not losing weight, or hurting myself) due to ignorance! SO, Thanks! Be sure to read all the postings, you never know where you are going to find an answer to one of your questions! A week or so ago, I posted that I was having a problem (getting sick to my stomach, lightheaded, etc.) with my protein bars and shakes (and that they tasted horribly sweet). I'm pre-op and wondered what to do??? Well, I found out that the kind I was trying (ATKIN's) are especially sweet and got ideas for ones that might be better suited to me! News Flash -- I just noticed a new carb store will be opening in PA, in Chadds Ford. I think it's called "Carb Solutions/Resolutions" and will be in the Painters Crossing Shopping Center at Rts. 1 and 202 (in the strip mall between Happy Harry's and the AMC Movies). I'll keep my eyes on its progress and let you all know when it's open. THANKS A BUNCH :>) Kit

Meoooow to you Miss Kitty To answer your PMRI question, they are the same meeting done over. They started that this past winter when they added in the Saturday morning meeting due to so many people attending. So, you can catch the protein meeting we had today again ( a very informative meeting I might add ) I'm so glad you are finding the help you need here, it really is a bunch of good people who have some very good advice. I know I have benefited from it many times. Glad you're here! Linda

Thanks for clarifying that. Sometimes it's easier for me to go to the night meetings. I didn't want to miss out on anything! Sorry it took so long for me to reply. Have you ever had one of those weeks??? (Where you wonder where all the time went? -- welcome to my world this week!)
