REMINDER: Ochsner Support Group Tomorrow (Tuesday)!

Usually like to post this sooner, but time got away from me this month!  This is going to be a great meeting! Ochsner Surgical Weight Loss Program   Support Group Meeting  Tuesday, September 18th 5:30 p.m.  Caldwell Room, 2nd Floor Brent House  PROGRAM:  Roundtable Introductions (5:30 p.m. – 5:45 p.m.)  In addition to your name, surgery date and weight loss to date, share with the group one of your favorite WOW moments so far.  If you are pre-op, tell us what WOW moment you are most looking forward to.  Group Discussion (5:45 p.m. – 6:15 p.m.)   This month, support group member, Jennifer M. will lead the discussion on exercise.   Do you really need it?  How can you fit exercise in your schedule?  What is a good amount of exercise? Can it replace plastics for loose skin?  These are just some the questions we will be talking about.  We will also use this time for pre-op and newly post-op attendees to ask any questions they may have.  Group Activity (5:45 p.m.) We're planning a "before and after" scrapbook!  As adelida1 described in her earlier post - this is strictly optional, but should be lots of fun.  This will be a great resource for new patients as well as a great reminder of how far we have traveled.  We need input from you.  If you have any scrapbooking supplies you wish to donate to the project please bring them. We will be starting a community supply box.   DOOR PRIZE DRAWING

Sorry I can't be there my son has a football game and have to work the gate. Maybe next month I will be able to make it. I do miss everyone.

We will miss you! See you in October, Lisa

I'll see you there Lisa! Jen

Yeah! We can't have the discussion without you! See you later, Lisa

Too bad I didn't see this last night. I was in Ochsner today from 12:30 to 4:30. Laura, the NUT, told me about the meeting as I was leaving, but by then I was so hungry and tired I would have eaten an arm. So sorry I missed you all.

We missed you!

I did miss seeing ya'll last night but the football team won 17-0 it was a good game.Fontainebleau Junior High(Mandeville) against Boyet Junior High.(Slidell)

Well, I too am sorry that I could not be there last night. Not only for the conversation and sharing, but I would have loved to share my news! Well, here it goes: I (as of a couple of days ago) am now 90 pounds down, and not to mention I have joined a dancing class which is on Tuesday nights. That is why I could not be there last night! I am so excited,  and in less than 4 months I have accomplished more than I have in a long time. Thanks for the support!! Titania

90 lbs.???? Good Gawd Girl. You need to share the secret of what you're eating. Your weight loss is amazing. What am I doing wrong, or could do better?  You are the weight loss queen!!!
