We had our first Get Together for the Bander's Group this week. We met at the local Applebee's which has a nice WLS friendly menu.

We didn't have a large turnout, but it seemed to be very successful for those who attended. It was nice for members to be able to talk about the successes and struggles that they are encountering on their journey and to realize that they are not alone. Tips on types of foods, textures, and quantities were shared. We also talked about food journaling and the benefits of awareness. We talked about the fact that we tend to make better decisions for ourselves when we look at what we are eating when it's written down in black and white... even when no one else will see it.

This looks like it's going to be a very successful event and we look forward to watching it develop and grow as we meet once a month.
