Exciting News For The Norcal Group



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone! We'd really love to see this group take off. It has been far too quiet!! We need to get ourselves situated with face to face meet ups for our areas. :)

There are two new moderators for our personal group.

That is FeedYourEye for the Sacramento/Valley areas and MeggieP for the Bay Area.

Lets start conversing and getting some support group dates set up.

Looking for ideas!!

Hi guys and gals! It is really fun and informative to meet up in person with others in your area that have also had the sleeve done, or are thinking about it. If you don't have a support group attached to your medical center, or could use some more face time with real people who understand where you are coming from, lets get together here in our own NorCal VSG Support Group, and plan on meeting up in person for coffee or a walk or whatever you like in the future. Post events in your area that others might enjoy, or plan your own event. Lets start by getting to know each other better here and go from there! Cheers, Kim (Feedyoureye)

I think this is a great idea. Are we able to poll or get statistics of where everyone is and what would be a central location for most of us?

Sacramento here! I could meet in Davis, Sac, Folsom, The closer to Sac the better chance I will come.

I live in Santa Cruz, which is really more Central Cal than NorCal. That being said, I'm open to coming up to San Fran, Peninsula or East Bay areas. I could totally do Sac area if we can combine it with one of our trips to see family in Tahoe. :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
