Topic: Looking to start support group in Brewster/Orleans
So, I haven't been able to find a support group on Cape Cod and while talking to my dietician today, she would be willing to start up a new group if we can get enough people. Please let me know if you would be interested in joining a group on Cape Cod.

I would really like to get this going so I don't have to travel to Boston to find the support needed to succeed in losing and maintaining my weight with this awesome tool I have been given.

Topic: RE: pre-op weight loss
Hi there!  This is my first post, I just joined OH today   I guess I am lucky as my surgeon is not overly concerned about weight loss.  Yes, he suggested I lose some (and really he said 10-20 lbs would do) but it's not keeping them from moving along.  I haven't done well at losing but now that the day is closer (had pre-ops this week, started group workshops, but no date set) I am getting serious.  Hence, joining OH!  I have made some positive changes and accomplished small goals (ie: cut way back on coffee and diet soda) but now my goals are more in line with the permanent changes post surgery.  So this week I want to set small goals: 1. don't eat and drink at same time.  2. get 60-80 grams of protein per day 3. get to the gym twice this week. 

I hope the idea of setting small goals helps!  Good luck!!!

 I would love to hear about anything close to the area as well.  I'm in Plymouth and Boston is out of the question for now, I can't drive.
