FYI...MUSC SUPPORT GROUP MEETING
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). Yes - this is one week earlier than usual.
This month is "Open Forum Night" to discuss any questions, concerns or thoughts by the group. We will be doing protein supplement taste-testing and we have holiday door prizes!
We will also be handing out a new "Recipe of the Month".
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. We will be having class on Dec 27th. 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:
Jan 17 - Our Annual "Meet The Team" Q&A with our surgeons, dietitians, psychologist and our new physician's assistant
Feb 21 - Open Forum
Happy Holidays!
