A little about me - Northshore support group

Hi to all the Northshore members,

I know what you are all thinking "Gee, she had her surgery in 2006, why isn't she at her goal"?

Well, first of all my starting weight was 314 lbs not 268,  Back when I had my consultation in 2005, the nutritionist and the surgical team thought that I should have the RNY.  Why, because I have a sugar addition.  With the lapband the sugar products go right through the band with no problem.  do  not regret having the band because I cannot eat food like I use to.  I can't eat at McDonalds.  I can't even finish have a kid's meal.   I can't eat subs, some proteins but give me sugar, forget it no problem.

This support group will be for post op members that are having issues that they would like to talk about and be there for each other.  I am not an expert by all means.  I can answer nutrition questions and other simple ones.  I am training and have documents for various questionns that you need answered. 

So, please let's me there for each other.  We need it.

Thanks for reading this message

Where are you meeting?

I am trying, Salem Hospital, Beverly Hospital or Kindred Hospital off of Lowell St in Peabody.  I am just getting the ball rolling.

Best of luck, Donna !!!
