whimzy

I was allowed sugar-free jello cups.

I had surgery on 8/20/2014 in Cincinnati, OH and I'd love to meet someone to who has had the surgery to share this journey with, to share tips, advice, push each other, and to keep the encouragement going. I'm a divorced mom with a high functioning autistic son and I struggle with compulsive overeating/emotional eating, in large part due to the stress in my life. I need to make this work though. As I approach 50 (May of 2015) I want to be active, and having fun, not complaining about back or hip pain, no energy, exhaustion, nothing to wear, don't take my picture, etc., etc. Thanks for reading!

I had surgrey 8/20/2014, Dr. Northup at Mercy Fairfield. Mercy's bariatric clincic offers several support group meetings in different parts of town, but they tend to be large (it's required to attend one meeting before surgery) and sporadic. I was wondering if anyone knows of other support groups or would be interested in forming a group where we could meet in a centerally located place. I'm feeling pretty alone right now (I have some terrific friends, but it's not the same) and would love to spend time with people who have or are going to do gastric sleeve.
