New to Tx board!

Hello! Jordan here in Dallas. Recent rny, hopeful to meet people at support groups. I think there is one at Forest park? Right?
Anyways, I usually ask questions. I have become obsessed with Bariatric recipes. I read all the blogs. I'm excited to eat these new awesome things. I think I have an optimistic attitude about this whole life change. I'm ready to do it!
What else...I'm a new mom! Sort of, I have a ten-month old.

Welcome to the TX message board!

Welcome, neighbor, I am in Mesquite. Forest Park does have a support group I think once a month on a Wednesday. I attend another support group on Saturday morning that is suppose to start back up soon.

We have a daily WLS train on this board where we just keep up with each other and provide support hope you start posting so we can get know you and share in you journey,

Is that support group the one at that church near Mesquite/Garland area ?    

 

Yes, but we meet in a room downstairs now. They are starting back meeting this Saturday but I might not be able to attend.

Welcome to the Texas Message Board Jordon.    I would consider you still a New Mom.    We have a small but great group of people who post here.    We are all very supportive.    Please post whenever you can and we will do our best to encourage and support you on your WLS journey.      

Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

Here are a couple of places you can go for WLS friendly recipes if you don't already know about them:

Welcome! Yes, Forest Park has a group, for sure (I'm in Austin). My friend, Karen, who is a RNYer here in Austin started a company that does frozen bariatric foods and she's doing a tasting there this month. Tell her I said "hi"! I think they are putting in a freezer there. Very good stuff (the white bean chicken soup is to DIE for)

I found the details for ya :)

• I thought it would be great to get out and support a fellow WSLFA member and sponsor when they are in the Dallas neck of the woods. It would also be great to meet some local folks. Why not get together and head on over and sample their goods while also attending a local support group as well. It's Food is Kicking off 2013 in a big way. Preparing to head over to Dallas to arrange freezer installation and display set up in in our new frozen section in the beautiful Doughtery Pharmacy located in Forest Park Medical Center. At the Wednesday January 9, 6:30 PM bariatric support meeting we will be tasting It's Food products and the lovely Mika Bradford will also be there to sample many of the items in her bariatric superstore which will be open in the evening on support group meeting nights for your convenience. So yummy good, hope to see you there. Forest Park Medical Center ... See More Forestparkmedicalcenter www.forestparkmedical.com
