I recently moved to TX from Fl, where my surgery was done. I'm near SA/Austin. I would love to have a TX meet n greet!!! I wouldn't mind helping out if we wanna plan one!?!? I don't have any friends here and maybe I could meet some through this community!?!?

You are quite welcome! Congrats! Dont feel bad - I just changed mine and I am NINE months out! LOL!

Ugh!!! Ya I lives in NY for a while and they have that too. I just moved to TX and it is soooo much harder here. The first time i went into their grocery store I wondered what I was ever going to eat here!!!! All processed and fattening!!! It's all a learning/adjusting game I guess!! How far out are you!?

YES! Never noticed it so much until post surgery!! When desperate I will get a chicken soft taco no lettuce from Taco Bell and only eat the chicken and cheese inside (usually 2 tacos). It's fast and everyone around me enjoys it. Check fil a also has chicken tortilla soup (it's pretty good) and they have grilled chicken fingers and they are not bad either. Thats really all I have found....Good luck! It's rough out there!!!!!

Try hot tea. It was my savior for so many things. And still is. I will be 9 months out tomorrow!!!:-)

Thanks! Looks like he is the bariatric surgeon....unless I missed something? I am looking for a plastics Dr - excess skin....

I need some assistance....I am in the VERY beginning stages of looking for a surgeon, I just moved to TX so I dont have any connections here and I would prefer the Dr be in either the San Antonio, TX or Austin, TX area. I would also entertain south Florida area as I have family there. I was sleeved on July 23rd and I am down 111 lbs and my legs tell me daily I will NEVER be able to wear a bathing suit in public EVER again! LOL. I want to wait at least a year to get anything done but want to know what I am in for (especially pricing wise). Any experience of who to go to (or NOT to go to) is GREATLY appreciated!! THANKS!

I had surgery on July 23 and moved out of state Sep 6 - didn't have a job and I was fine! No problems pre-during-post surgery so I took the chance but I was ok. I wouldn't worry TOO much if you have been pretty good during the process so far. Good luck!

We have the same date!!! I agree, this is the BEST thing I have EVER done and I FEEL GREAT!!!!!

I had it too, but I am down about 80lbs now and NOTHING! I am SOOOO HAPPY! I bought a pair of $100 dollar flip flops when it got bad (I used to live in FL so I GET the FL thing! LOL) and now I dont need them (and they are too big!) If you are a size 11 I can send them too you - they worked wonders!!!!!! Just let me know I would rather someone get some use out of them and they really do help!

I feel myself getting sick - 16 weeks out and only have chlorpheniramine maleate (Chlor-Trimeton) in the house....I wanted to take it but it is not on my list of "approved/unapproved" meds.....wanted to see if any of you know or if I should suffer through the night and get something "approved" tomorrow........??????? On a side note - Hit 16 weeks today and my first week I did not see a loss on the scale :-( I knew it had to happen but I was in denial - down 75lbs in 16 weeks and SO happy! I am sure this first stall will not be the last!

I like this club! I am 3 months out now and almost at 70lbs down!!!!!!!! Cant wait to be part of the 100 lb club :-)

That could be a GOOD time! :-)

I have not read all the responses but wanted to chime in on your post.....Keep this in mind....most of the people that are on here are trying to get to their first goal of 191, as that would put them in WONDERLAND!!!!!!!!!!!! The fact that you were smaller than most probably has EVERYTHING to do with why you have "failed" Remember - all you see is a number, in most cases you don't have a start weight/height. Too soon to say you failed - keep at it and before you know it you will be reading your post months from now and laughing!
