As of now, I have only heard back from 3 people with a yes to our meeting on Saturday so there will be 4 including me. The other 3 are: Jacqi, Toni, and Amanda B. Also, I joined a weekly support group at Baylor Plano run by a psychologist and met a girl there who said she'd love to come too so we may have 5 of us there. For some reason, I don't have where you live AmandaB. But based on where the other 3 of us live, I say we change our location. Does anyone have a problem with meeting at La Hacienda off Preston Rd. North of Frankford Rd. at 1:00 pm on Saturday? The physical address is: 17390 Preston Road # 100, Dallas, TX. If I don't hear back from everyone on this, we will leave it as it at Pappasitos.

Oh, and to cover my bases I'm e-mailing this to y'all too. You only need to respond in one place. I just wanna have the best shot of getting the message to each of you since I'm proposing a meeting change.

I look forward to meeting y'all!

Oh, and let's all meet outside by the front door since we don't really know who we're looking for yet. :-). I will send y'all my cell number except you Toni since you have it. If you decide not to come or you are running late, please text me so we know whether or not to wait on you.

Sorry for the late post. I had an urgent family thing that came up and I’m just now home and getting to this.

Okay, ladies everything is set for tomorrow. Let’s all meet outside the front door of Pappasitos on Preston Rd. at 1:00 p.m. tomorrow. I e-mailed each of you my cell phone number. If you are running late or aren’t coming, please text me.

I look forward to meeting y’all!

sorry i missed get-together. Hopefully I'll be able to make the next one. and hopefully by the next group luncheon I'll either have my surgery date - or be sleeved - which if it's the latter I'll probably be home still.....

I'm glad to find a group of people from the area that get together. I was attending the meetings at Plano Presby they had twice a month, but it wasn't what I thought of when I thought support group. I learned a lot from the speakers, but I want to ask questions and find out how others with the sleeve are doing. I'd love to come to some of the get together meetings. I live in the Colony on the Plano border and can travel anywhere. My email is desi1023@gmail.com, please add me to your list :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
