not to sound like a negative nelly ..I have spoken to a few people who are all looking forward to this session , seems to be the most anticipated ,im sure its gonna be packed  there  knowing the  with the number of people having surgery lately . I agree hopfully soon they will be able to accommodate larger numbers of groups .

I was thinking the same thing Barb.  There's got to be a few people who won't show up.  Either way I'm going to try make it to Smitty's afterwards.  (I assume that's where everyone will be going).   This body of mine will probably never see the light of day when it comes to plastics anyway.

I'm thinking that as this program grows they are going to have to find a bigger meeting room to hold these info sessions.  There has to be well over 200 people that have had WLS and hundreds more on the waiting list.  At a couple of previous sessions the tables have been pushed aside to allow more seating, but when they're not, that room probably only holds 30-40 people.

It will come. I had my surgery on May 13th. I at the beginning had some trouble and used protein supplements but now am able to get 60-80 grams down. I was using some Boost initially but now like yogurt so eat that for extra protein. It will slowly improve. don't worry!

PS....Lori..And you know what...after the last meeting where only 1/2 of the people showed upthat had signed up to attend..I am sure there willbe at least one person that does not show up. I would just go and show up anyways...if it is full and you are taking up someone's seat, then just stand in the back...Just saying! barb
