MUSC's Meeting this Thursday

Hello All!



We have a support group meeting this Thursday at 6 PM in the Weight Management Center (4th floor Institute of Psychiatry, 67 President Street).



This month, Dr. O'Neil, a plastic surgeon at MUSC, will be our guest speaker. He will be discussing plastic surgery after massive weight loss. Come early for this one!



Next month, is Open Forum night which provides the opportunity to discuss your questions and concerns. We've made some changes to the format of our Open Forum night - check it out.



We've also made some great changes to our website, www.muschealth.com/weightlosssurgery. Click on "Nutrition Nook" for shopping list, menus and more.



Don't forget about Transition Nutrition. This class meets the 4th Thursday of every month from 2-4 PM, also in the Weight Management Center. This class is appropriate for all post-op patients. We spend the first part discussing how to best transition from a pureed diet to a regular diet but we also discuss other general good nutrition topics relevant after weight loss surgery (calories, food journaling, the exchange system, exercise, etc). This class is FREE and we validate for parking.



Upcoming support group meetings:

Aug 16 - Open Forum Support Group

Sept 20 - Cooking Demo with Janet Gaffney from the Art of Cooking

Oct 16 - Open Forum Support Group



Hope to see you soon!
