Deactivate

So sorry to have been out of touch for last few weeks. I had my GBP 7/7/2015 - prior to starting up with doctor I was at 300. Prior to surgery I was 258, Last weight was a few days ago and I was at 232. I can say, for the initial few weeks after surgery I was EXHAUSTED a lot. I went to work two weeks after surgery, and that first week, I felt TIRED. I'd come home and sleep for two hours to recover. Slowly rebuilt to my regular work schedule. I've done some walking but not real regular exercise yet. Sometimes forget to eat, if I eat something I'm not suppose to yet, body is quick to let me know. So far the scars are closed up. Except top one. Not sure what else to share? Any one have suggestions for best Protein, small meal ideas? That aren't too repetitive?

I didn't have to do either of those, thankfully. Just relaxing....

You know, I did it anyway just because I felt like I was all out of sorts in my abdominal area, and it helped me feel better. Maybe mental, but I was moving easier.

Hello, how is everyone?? Mine was 7/7. Feeling tired today. Slept a lot, only issue is gas really. Occasionally incision site pain due to rubbing of clothing. Still moving slow.

I hear Planetary Fitness is about $10 a month, I think there is another called Retro Fitness that is about $20. I am planning to join the gym as soon as I get okayed.....but there are limited ones near me so, it'll cost at least $30 or $40 a month.

That is an awesome idea, I use to live in Richmond, plenty of therapeutic places there!

Anyone else use these to help with support post surgery? I know in some Latin American countries it is part of any abdominal surgical work, but curious if anyone here tried it?

Northern VA, area.....I created a group for that area below.

Annette, wow, all the way to Richmond!! How long ago? Which kind?

Pik, are you on a liquid diet yet?

Pik, go to the lower portion of site where it says local chapters load up to VA - NOVA.

Annette, I have heard of Northern Neck! I haven't been there. Where are you going for care?

Hello all, how exciting to see responses! Does Bluepoint do their own support group? Or is this the one at Fair Oaks? I am 5 days post-op, doing okay. Not hungry but there are moments I am craving to chew or taste something. My surgeon was Dr. Fitzer and surgery took place at Fair Oaks. I started this process about August of 2013, weighing 300 pounds, I weighed myself yesterday and am at 254, still full of air and feeling blimpish What would you all like to share? Or experiences? Or questions? It feels good to share with others locally! Karaya

Or just online?

Any Northern VA WLS, open to connecting online and off?
