Lee's Summit

Is anyone near Lees Summit?  I am nealry 5 years post op...had sure in Topeka and haven't done the support group drive for awhile.  Kind of wishing for someone closer to get to know.  I am thinking I would like to join an Overeaters Anonymous...this is such a struggle and such an addiction.  Is anyone interested or close to LS?  It looks like the Missouri group is kind of active...I will definitely keep checking it.

Love, Alice

Welcome to the Missouri Board Alice;
I don't live far from Lees Summit. I live in Freeman, Mo. which is about 10 miles west of Harrisonville.

Barbara,
My sister lives in Freeman. I wonder if you know her husband's family. They've lived there for a long time. The Burchetts?

Sorry to hijack the thread. Just couldn't resist

i belong to a support group through my dr. office. they meet once a month, the leader is actual the dr's nurse she is a wonderful lady she is about 7 years. the group meets once a month at truman medical west., e-mail me and i will give you her e-mail.

I live in Raytown.  Surgery was July 8th.  I have to make myself eat.  Food just doesn't interest me at this point. 

I'm curious why you are thinking of joining Overeaters Anonymous.  I had the surgery so I wouldn't need group meetings other than a support group like my doctor has once a month.  I struggled with WWs as well as a few other programs for 35 years.

Well...you are in the wonderful honeymoon perios.  Enjoy ti and use it as much to your benefit as possible..  I think depending on your reason for eating, and if there is an addiction there it gets much harder.  As time has gone by I can eat anything and have gotten careless.  You may be different...but if you're not there is lots of online support to help you get back on track.  Don't worry about all that!!  Just enjoy your honeymoon!!
