Sounds like fun and, but I'm a ds'r so I don't have a pouch.

Hey we are going to the same office just a different surgeon! Good luck with your surgery I am still waiting on my final appt. with Dr. Bright...

My surgery will be in two weeks.  I spend a lot of time in the woods (freelance nature photographer) and am a bit concerned about drinking enough water while hiking.  Currently, I drink about four 32oz cups a day of water.  Any suggestions?  I meet with the surgeon today and plan on bringing that up.  I easily look track of time if I spot a particular animal or scene and am more focused with staying in focus! 

Also, I am wondering about getting together with a couple of others who may be interested  in doing some hiking (that share my love of nature)

One last item: I look forward to being an active member here (and hopefully, even more active on the outside!)
Thanks

Hey everybody,

I'm trying to get an idea of the interest in having a Pouch Party in the Portland/Seattle area. I know your first question: what the heck is a Pouch Party?

My friends Nikki and Jennifer do Pouch Parties and it's essentially like having a food tasting, cooking show, and cooking lessons all in one. Nikki hangs out on the RNY board a lot and you can check out some of her recipes on her blog (http://bariatricfoodie.blogspot.com). She has a motto that any food can be made weight-loss surgery friendly!

I'd like to get a Pouch Party together out this way, however, I need to know that there is enough interest. You can either post here or PM me if you're interested and I'll let the Pouch Party gals know what comes of it!
