Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Hey NorCals! Where is everyone from?



Recommended Posts

I am thinking maybe there will be at least some closer to me so we could also have a meetup- I wold be fine going to Fremont or another place across the bay if necessary but my nerve pain in my back does not allow a really long drive like Sacto ;-(

In any case I'd love everyone to tell where they are from!

Hi Meggie!!

I live in Folsom in the Sacramento Valley!

I have to go to Richmond on June 16th do you live close to there? If so, maybe we could meet somewhere!

Hugs,

Kelly ;)

Well I guess most already know this but I live in Sacramento. Was born and raised here too! I'd like to mosey someday though, and I'm thinking either the Palm Desert area or even Arizona. Love that heat, and even more now that I get cold so easily!!!

I'm in San Jose. I could definitely drive to Fremont or RWC or Sunnyvale as someone suggested. I believe Irene (LilMissDiva) posted some possible dates: 7/9 and 7/25 I believe. I'll be out of town 7/25 but I may be able to make the 7/9. I'm having my surgery this Monday so frankly I can't say how I will be be then. I am hoping "just fine" :-). Also, I don't mind going up north more. At some point I would love to also meet those of you up toward the Sacramento area. Sorry if am going all over the place. I'm a little stressed with my date getting closer. I may just post about this. Be well everyone!!!

Vallejo, here.

Hey, mnb, at 30 days out you should be feeling fine! Here's wishing your surgery goes smoothly on Monday.

I'm from San Jose. I attend the support group at Kaiser Fremont the second and fourth Friday of each month (except this month we are not meeting on the 10th). The Kaiser support group is free and open to all. I'd love to meet up with other VST members before or at the support group.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
