Congratulations on your date :-) and we are very close, so let's keep in touch. I think a support group is a great idea . There is several places in Burbank to go hiking. So who is your doctor ? I had Dr Um

I'm going to private message you my number, that way I can answer some question or concerns you my have

Where are you having your surgery? I had mine done though Kaiser West LA.

I'm in North Hollywood :-) I go hiking at wildwood park it's just behind Burbank HS. I was sleeved on 9/10 and would like to have someone to exercise with. Oh and congratulations on your date.. I'm loving my new stomach so far .

Where do you live?

San Fernando Valley here <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' /> getting sleeved on October 11th... I have a gym membership here where I live & haven't been going for the same reasons you mentioned (lazy & intimidated by the meat heads & no gym partner) lol but I'm totally down to meet up for a hike sometime!! I heard of a trail I think by El Monte they leads to a waterfall.. There's also the Hollywood sign trail' date=' Malibu has a bunch of trails, there's a trail/stairs hike thing in culver city & Runyon canyon in w Hollywood.....[/quote']

Can u please send me an invite as well

I'd like an invite also please.. And thank you

My new life stated on 9/10 and I'm feeling great! And down 7 lb. already . Good luck everyone

Hello, I'm doing very well, Thank you . although I was having a hard time getting all the Protein and Water in the first few days. But the last two day I've been able to get in 60 grams of protein... Woot woot. Far as pain or bad gas none I'm a very happy camp. How are things with you?

A little better still hurts to drink anything. But it is getting better each day. I'm so hungry for solid or even puréed food!

I am glad you're feeling a little better..

Wow! It felt really good to put some food in my new tummy today . A good friend of mine made me home made Butternut squash cream Soup . It was so good. So what in going to do is make a big pot and freeze it in half cup containers .

How quickly are you drinking it? You should only be sipping at this stage.

I'm sipping , but to be honest I may have drank it a little faster then I should have. Right now I'm nursing a 1/2 bottle of Isopure and it been about 45 minute and I don't feel like I put a dent in it.

Hahahaha I spelled bloated wrong .. Silly me , but thank you so much for you reply , I feel better now

I had my surgery on the 10 th and so far so good, the Water goes down fine but after drinking a 1/2 bottle of Isopure my stomach is blowed .. I feel so full .. Has anyone else experienced that?

I'm on day one of stage 1 , so yes thank you for sharing.. I'm not hungry at all but that sure looked good.. And it helps to know in just a few months I can eat again

Good Luck!!! I'm tomorrow @8am <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />
