Looking for a reason to go to Orlando, Florida? This could be your excuse! This September 25-27 is Your Weight Matters! The Obesity Action Coalition (OAC) sponsors the event, which is a non-profit organization that advocates for individuals who are affected by obesity.

Your Weight Matters! is an initiative to help you take control of your weight. The national convention is focused on…you! It gives you the chance to mingle with other individuals who are fighting obesity, as well as healthcare providers and other experts. Educational sessions include talks by surgeons and other doctors, physical therapists, dietitians, and nurses. Topics include:

  • Avoid weight regain after bariatric surgery.
  • Figuring out which weight loss option is best for you.
  • Stress management.
  • Getting active at work.
  • Mindful eating.
  • Long-term medical concerns after weight loss surgery.

Besides these talks, you can attend useful and fun events such as:

  • Group exercise classes to start the day.
  • lunch with experts in obesity treatment.
  • Free health screenings.
  • A health expo, where you’ll find BariatricPal!

That’s right. BariatricPal is going to be at Your Weight Matters! I hope you’ll make it, too! If you can make it to Orlando between Thursday and Saturday, September 25-27, I’d love to see you at the expo! Stop by the BariatricPal booth and introduce yourself!

You need to pre-register for Your Weight Matters! if you want to go to the talks. There are free tickets available if you live in the area and just want to go to the Your Weight Matters! Expo. I hope to see you there!

Even if you can't make it to the convention in Orlando, you can still support the Obesity Action Coalition by becoming a member or an advocate or getting involved in other ways. It’s a great way to get involved in the fight against obesity.

I hope to see you soon in Orlando!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
