Hey ladies & gents - I just moved to Austin last month from California ( groan....i know - another California transplant!) I am almost a year out - on 7/22/16 will be my 1 year mark. I started at 227 pounds and am at 156 now. My goal is 140. In CA it was much easier finding fruits and veggies on every corner since its a super organic/healthy area and here I've noticed there are LOTS of chains and fast food. I don't eat fast food. I eat very healthy. I still am eating under 1000 calories on most days, struggle to get in my 64oz of Water, and am a big fruit and veggie eater. I would love to meet some local friends. I am 32 years old, no kids, and work from home most days in Pflugerville, but sometimes from Downtown as well.

I had RNY and I'm in Santa Monica

Looking for a buddy near Los Angeles / West LA

Anyone near Santa Monica?

Thanks for the encouragement I have to remember to sip not gulp

I am 5 days out right now. I got about 30-40oz down per day. 64oz is goal but my doctor said work my way up to it. I just sip all day and write down every time I get 8oz down and see how much more I need. Follow my journey on YouTube : https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCylGZjmxz3si1YzHRIUN25g

I'm now 5 Days Post Op. Day 1 and 2 were really rough but since it's been fine. I'm so happy I went for it. I've been home from the hospital for 2 nights and gotten 30oz-40oz of Water down so far per day. I've had 1 chocolate premier Protein, got all 11oz down in about 30mins. I felt so full after its crazy! I've never felt full before in my life Hahahaha I had chicken broth with 20g of protein last night, after 8oz I was stuffed. What a great tool this is! The only bad part right now is I keep coughing which hurts so bad I'm still sore ouch! Follow me on YouTube: https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCylGZjmxz3si1YzHRIUN25g

My doctor is super strict and no artificials sweetners are allowed. Only under 5g of sugar per "meal" but it has to be natural sugar.

I had food funerals. I ate like a piglet for about 3 weeks before my liqiud/puree diet kicked in. My surgery is July 22 and now im eating better.

I had the same issues, I had endoscopy, EKG, Chest xRay and Bloodwork
