Hi there. I've only lived in Chicsho for About 2 years now and still looking to make a good friend with similar circumstances. I was sleeved 8/19. Still working hard at it. How is yours going?

Good luck dede0314I'm in Edgewater/Andersonville.

Hi SamFan, that's a little too far for me. Good luck with your surgery!!!!!

Anyone in Chicago?? I'm 6 weeks post surgery. Looking for a buddy to share experiences with and work out. Here for any questions to help too.

I have unflavored protein. I put it in my tuna, v8, smoothies, chicken when I did soft purée stage. For liquids I just tried a bunch of diff proteins before my surgery while I was loosing and found 2 favs Unjury strawberry and chocolate and my most fav in the world is Bariatric Fusion. Strawberry shortcake!!!! Tastes great and not so sweet they both have 5< sugars and sane in carbs!! Also you full. I'm 6 weeks post and I still use those protein drinks and will fit life!! Hope this helps. Good luck.

Hi, I'm in Edgewater/Andersonville. Looking for some friends with related matters and determination. (Sorry it sounds like a personals as lol) I went to a hospital called Good Samaritan in Downers Grove. My Batiatric clinic is Lifeweigh Bariatric. They are amazing. They have a support group but it's also in Downers Grove. So I don't attend. Main reason why I'm looking for folks in Chicago. Good luck dede0314

I used the little cups they gave me, until I reached stage 4 -reg diet. The protein is the most important. But for food I liked mushy things like can salad. Turkey salads, puréed in the cups and that was great. Cheese!!!! Fish baked, tuna out of the can with celery salt, Greek yogurts, all have High protein, low low sugars and low carbs.

I'm close, Aug 19th. 6 weeks out. I'm in reg diet but still limited on my workouts. Still sore at surgery area too.

Looking for friendly sleevers in Chicago to be sleever/workout buddies with. New to Chicago and do not know anyone who has had this procedure! Looking for support and friendship. I'm IN Chicago, not in the suburbs. Sara
