Well Im not going to lie I'm new to FB.....I created an account then a private group so that only us in the group can post and view.....are u talking about something different? I can research it and then let u all know

That is ok, i think you just created a new account and we can add you as friend.

We can also create a group, where people can join in and will serve for help and support and everyone that joins the group will be able to see all posts and reply or whatnot, since if you have your own account and add friends, it's not easy for all the other people to interact together.

If you want i can create a closed group if everyone wants too

Yes! I'd love if you'd do that! I have only told my friends & family about my surgery & do not want everyone I went to elementary school with to be able to follow the intimate details of my journey lol!! Again, I'm 1/28/12 but hope that you guys will let me in ;)

Ok so how are we doing this group?? Lotus4me I found on FB I'm thinking of creating a separate FB acct with my screen name here it's easy enough to do is that how everyone else thinks we should do it?

I'm thinking, we could create a private group, this means, no one can search for the group, only if people send link to other people, and no one can see your post other then members of the group. The topics, pictures, likes or whatever will NOT show up on anyone's timeline as it's like a "Closed Private" group.

There's not really a need to create a "New" or "Separate" Facebook acct for this, as we can all chat there, but depending on your own facebook security and settings, no one from the group can see your profile, unless people have their profile set up that anyone can see their profile.

This will just help as we can all go and support and help each other there, and chat, as most of us are prob more often on Facebook anyways!! LOL

I am thinking we could create a group for Jan & Feb & Mar 2012 Sleevers, this ways we are all somewhat close enough to discuss our journeys together

Yes, Lotus created a new username, but hasn't created a "Group" yet, don't think. There is a difference between an account and a group.

Here's the difference for people that aren't familiar:

Personal Account: Personal Account enables you to maintain a Personal Profile, interact with friends, create and/or join groups, create a Fan Page for your business, become a fan of (or Like) other fan pages AND purchase advertising. It also allows you to make changes to a Business Account Fan Page IF you are an administrator of the page.

Beware: Facebook technically only allows you to have one account, either a Business Account or a Personal Account. If you create a personal account, it is supposed to be in your real name(first and last names)

Facebook Group: (Only for personal account)

A group is ideal for a group of people who want to maintain a discussion. Until recently, you could invite a friend to join a group, and they would have to decide whether to accept the invitation. If a group was created recently, the new rule is that current group members can add their friends to a group. The friend can leave the group, but until they do, they’re a member.

Advantages of groups include:

  • Wall posts: Messages, links, photos and videos that a group administrator posts to the group wall will show up in group members’ news feeds. Group members can comment on these, or post their own content.
  • Privacy: A group can be open, closed, or secret. The members and content of an open group are public. In a closed group, the list of members is public, but the content is private. In a secret group, the members and content are private, and the group doesn’t appear in search results for non-members. A study group might choose to be private, whereas an alumni group might choose to be open.
  • Shared documents: You can share documents with a group, and allow other group members to edit them. A book club group might include a list of all the past books they’ve read, or a study group might include a group project.
  • Group chat: You can limit a chat session to include only group members.
  • Group email address: Members of the group can send an email to all the other members via a single email address.
  • Events: Like pages, a group administrator can create a related event.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
