Hi get in my belly

I had my surgery at UC Irvine and they have a long standing support group for wls patients. I have only gone once and may not be able to go again for awhile because I am going back to school. But here is the address to the website, maybe you can give them a call and see if anyone can attend. It meets the 3rd tuesday of each month. See the "events" portion of the web page. http://www.healthcar...trics/index.asp

I know that lilmissdiva has a support group forum. You might want to hit her up for help on where and when they meet.

Kelly :)

Hi! I'm pre-op in Sacramento. Would like to join a support group here. Any info is appreciated!

Thanks, Kelly! Hi LilMissDiva, the link is not working. Is there a group meeting in Sacramento? Thanks again.

Hi Lessizmoore,

I have heard through the Kaiser message board that there is a support meeting every Thurs 7pm at Raley's @ Madison/Fair Oaks. They say it is not affiliated with Kaiser, and is open to anyone pre or post op. I have not verified this myself, but I need to drag my butt over there ;)

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
