New to OH and looking for others in the Grand Rapids area

Hi! I am new to OH and had an open R-N-Y on March 13, 2012 in Grand Rapids. Looking to make friends from anywhere really, but would like to make some friends in the Grand Rapids area.
I'm almost two months out and I am learning new things each day about myself. I am also trying to adjust to the portion control as well as not over fill my pouch, which I have done a couple of times.
Does anyone know of local stores that carry chewable iron + c and chewable multivitamins that are comparable to the bariatric ones from Spectrum Health?

Grand Health Partners in GR has a store inside the building where they sell the chewables.  Just walk in and they'll direct you to the store area..someone will point them out! Lots of high protein products there.

I have lived in Ionia County Michigan my entire life but just recently moved to South Carolina.  Nice to meet you!

It's nice to meet you also. Thanks for the heads up on where to get the vitamins and other products.

Hello I am from Garding City , unfortunately a few hrs away. but just a suggestion. Get a set of  baby utensils to eat with to get you use to taking little bite. chew chew chew so that theya re pulvarised prior to swallowing. also if you have a Gordons Food service you cand get carry out containers in small sizes like 1 os 2 oz 3 oz and so on to premeasure your food before you set down to eat.  You can also order bariatric friendly iron and vitamins from WWW.bariatricadvantage.com

and you can also try www.TheVitaminShop.com in your area

Welcome to the losers bench!

Thank you for the advice! I do use the baby utensils to eat with, but didn't know that you can get that small of a container anywhere. I'll have to try Gordon Foods for the containers.
I had my surgery done here in Grand Rapids with Spectrum Health weight loss program and Dr. Donald Scholten.

Hi, I am from Cedar Springs, but work in GR. As said before Grand Health Partners is a good resource for the vitamins and food as well.
