Non-Scale Victories!
Heather,
You are doing so wonderfully! Congratulations on all your non-scale victories. It is such a great feeling to take your life back. I love your enthusiasm. One of these days I hope to meet everyone at one of the meetings.

Awww Thanks, Mary!!!! That's so nice! You made my morning! =)
I would love to meet you too! I go to many support groups, so if you'd like to swing by, I could save you a seat! =)
I go to the Good Samaritan Hospital meetings(all are welcome even if you didn't have surgery there). They are held on alternating Saturday mornings from 9-10:30am. I know it's early, but I really like the meetings, so I make myself get up! LOL Tomorrow(the 16th) is a meeting, if you'd like to come. When you get to the hospital, park in the main lot(in front) and come in the main entrance. Then, you can ask at the desk or you just walk straight past the desk and make a left down the main hallway. Then, look for the signs for the Guild Conference Center. =)
I also attend the LIPO(Long Island Post Ops) meetings. They are run by Maryellen R., Lisa L., and Karen I. They are wonderful! The meetings are held at the Connetquot Library on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. They also schedule a physical activity of some sort each month. This month is LIPO's 2nd Anniversary, so tomorrow(Saturday night), we're going dancing at the Lizard Lounge in Bohemia(right next to IGA grocery store). It should be lots of fun! Our next meeting is May 19th. at 6:30-8:45! =) Oh, and, we're going for free Country Line Dancing on Tues, the 26th at 7:30pm. Here's the link explaining the Lizard Lounge, the meeting, and the line dancing!

There's a group in Patchogue called Sunrise Support group--they meet twice a month on alternating Tuesday's. You can see their posts on the OH NY board. =) It is a small group, but the leaders are very sweet! =)
And, last, but definitely not least----is MY support group--POSE LI (Post-ops supporting Each Other on LI)!!! We meet twice a month, at 6:45pm on Thursday nights at Speno Park in East Meadow. We just had a meeting yesterday, so our next one will be on May 28th! You can watch the NY board for updates, reminders, and directions or you can let me know if you're interested and I can send you more info! We have lots of great things planned for our meeting. I co-Lead with Rachel(Rachelena). We want to have speakers come in, tastings, recipe of the month, inspriation of the month, etc. =)
So, I hope all that wasn't too overwhelming! I just have found that these meetings are really helping me to stay on track and to feel good about myself and what I am doing! So, it has really been great for me. =) So, I hope you'll come to some or all of the meetings!
If you need more info or if you'd like to chat, just PM me or e-mail me at [email protected]!
Hugs, Heather =)
