So, I know this is an online forum, but I wanted to check if anyone was from the Bay Area and interested in starting an in-person social group. I'm in Oakland... just brainstorming here...

Haha... this should be a real character! Don't bash us tall guys... I'm 6'3.

low fat hummu... Mmmmm

Yeah, I have Melba toast with

You guys are sappy.

So, I am 7 weeks out and I have been getting horrible headaches almost everyday. At first I thought it might have been caffeine withdrawals, but I assume since it's been out of my system for two months this can't be the case. I take chewable Advil and it helps for awhile. I never used to get headaches and am just wondering if any others had this symptom.

I think I may be gay... At least my boyfriend keeps saying I might be.

The new low-carbonation red bull is nice. I put it in a jug and shake until all the carbonation is gone. Has a little caffeine, but no sugar or carbs.

Once upon a time...

Yeah, I Left my first PCP who wasn't supportive too.

Wasn't hard for me to travel three weeks out, but I didn't feel like going on the trip my partner and I had planned. Ended up sucking it up and going... Had a nice time but that soon after surgery your food options are VERY limited... so being stuck on a boat isn't ideal...

I'm down 37 pounds since surgery! Woohoo.

Santa Barbara is great. I lived there for 10 years while in college and grad school... beautiful place.

Where in Cali souledout? I'm in the Bay area.

Got it... So some pain in my lower belly at this point is probably just still surgery soreness, not being full? I feel nothing near the bottom of my throat.

I'm a week out from surgery and on full liquids. I'm not really having any trouble with liquids... What feeling would I have when I'm full? My stomach area doesn't feel bloated and I don't feel "full" in the ways I would before surgery. Any description of what I should be feeling for so I don't over drink?

Hi everyone... 7 days out and I feel pretty good. I still have the drainage tube in me until Thursday. I'm on the full clear liquid diet now and getting bored of broth... but I'm committed. Hope everyone else is well!

In the hospital bed right now getting prepped... Nervous and excited.

Just saying hi... From Bay Area getting ready for surgery on Tuesday!

I'm on may 22 too! So close. Nervous!

Hi there! I'm new here, but wanted to start reading more as my date is coming up quickly -- May 22 in Oakland. Just wanted to say hi! Jesse
