Hello Fellow Pals. Are there any pals on here that have gone to University of Colorado Hospital for their surgery? I am scheduled for surgery on the 30th and was hoping to chat with someone who had been through it so I know what to expect.

Also, if anyone knows any good therapist in the Denver area for bariatric issues I would love to have their name. I am still having trouble finding a therapist that I click with.

Thanks!

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SHOW & TELL

There are so many high Protein drinks / Snacks out there, but buying them without knowing what they taste like, can get costly. Someone came up with a great idea for our next meeting.

Bring your favorite go-to Breakfast or lunch Protein Drink / snack to our next meeting. We will serve drinks in shot glasses & Snacks cut up into bite size pieces in napkins, so everyone can taste them! Bring enough so that at least 10 people can try them. Remember, they will be cut up into small bite size pieces and/or poured into shot size cups so it doesn't have to be a huge amount

Looking forward to another great meeting!!!

Hope your surgery went well. I can relate to the therapist click. I had to go to one to get surgery and she was a nut case herself. Tried to sign me up for 6 months of therapy and exercise instructions. Said she could help me lose my weight with her therapy and exercise routines. DUH! Been there, done that.

The holidays tend to be exciting, fun & yet stressful for many. We're running around & are often surrounded with "quick-fix" foods & amazing, rich recipes.

How will you deal with the crazy schedule if/when you're running around shopping or visiting family/friends? What are your holiday plans?

Look forward to seeing you there!

Yet another great meeting tonight as we welcomed new friends to our group! I truly enjoy how everyone helps & supports each another regardless of the surgery we've had.

Tonight's meeting continues to prove while each of us has a slightly different experience with our surgery (what works for one person may or may not work for another), we share a common goal for a healthier lifestyle!

So did a group actually start? If so, where and when? Thanks!
