Tuesday Night Online Support Group for Men…… That's NOW! TONIGHT!! Well, it seems that having a Topic driven Online Chat Is more valuable for more folks…. I’m in the process of trying to line up a couple of "Guest Appearances" For the topic of Exercise and General ‘Support,’ But won’t have those committed till next week…. SO- For this week- Tomorrow Night- The Topic is- What-Cha Eaten’? From previous chats and the message board it seems that, as a group, We are "All over the Map" when it comes to Nutrition…. Some of the issues being dealt with include--- 1.) "…Living on Protein Supplements and not getting back to a ‘Normal’ Dietary intake…" . . . . . . . The problem there is often a Life of ‘Food-Fear’ or constant constipation battle… . . . . . . .Both are less than the desired Life at a Normal BMI Goal…Yes?

2.) "Now I CAN Eat stuff I couldn’t and I am. So my last 10, 20, + pounds aren’t coming off!" . . . . . . . The problem there is dealing with Hunger versus old food temptations… . . . . . . .Both seem to get in the way of reaching/maintaining Goals…Yes?

3.) "Kinda stuck eaten the same ole stuff and it gets to be a drag…" . . . . .The problem there is not enjoying the new thinner life, or still not comfortable with food… . . . . .Both seem to get in the way of a ‘Normal Relationship’ with food…Yes?

Surely there are many more issues about how we ‘cope’ with eating Post-Op… This Meeting should be useful exchange of info for Older Post-Ops as well as Newer and Pre-Ops looking to pick-up suggestions from others… Any ideas or "Finds" that are your favorites?
