support

It was a tough week. My days are long and take a lot of planning, but it is worth it. I get up early now, so that I can exercise, eat my breakfast and prepare my food for the day. When I am home at 9pm, I cook and eat a healthy dinner. No one ever said post-op life would be easy. In recent months, I revisited a support website I had not been on in about 3 years. It is called www.obesityhelp.com. I used to log on frequently before my surgery and also kept a blog and sometimes I would post questions. I had been looking for another bariatric support group, and found a link to a surgeon's office. The office was nice enough to email me back with the information and I will be going this month. Support is very important in regards to long-term success with the surgery. My work schedule has prevented from going to the group I used to attend. So I am thankful for the info on obesityhelp. Also, I found out they hold events throughout the country. I had no idea about this and discovered one of them is being held right in Las Vegas. I looked into it and recently purchased my ticket. I am excited to meet people from all over the United States. What a wonderful opportunity for me. Not to mention, I am covering the event for its affiliated magazine called OH (Obesityhelp). More on that another time.
