WooHoo! I just had the best cottage cheese ever. It may be because I have been on liquids for 9 days.

Oh ya! I walked 3.5 miles today and it felt good. I hit 271 today and I'm hoping to be in the 260's tomorrow.

Is it a private page? I didn't see it come up in search. I am a member of 2 other Facebook pages, men and women both on there. They are both private so the info/postings do not show up on your personal FB page.

Hey everyone, I need some advice/help plz!!! :). My surgeon no longer goes to IU, he's only at St V now. IU has a very intense program pre surgery, which I'm doing well on. However, I really love my Dr. If I go to St V, it will be out of network and more $, but I think I'm willing to pay for my surgeon vs IU's program. I'm nervous that if St V program isn't as intense, that I won't do as well in the long run. Thoughts, advice???

I think you will do just fine with St V. I have come thru their program, I've lost 90lbs in 7 months. The support groups are wonderful, so are the nutritionist. What I've learned is its all what you put into it. They give you the keys, you gotta drive the car :)

What does IU do that is really intense? I chose ST.V, mainly because of insurance but am pretty happy with their program. but i admit, i don't know much about IU's program. I am 7 days pre-op! July 1st is my big day. But I've been going to their support groups already an have found them really helpful.

Congratulations on your date! So close! IU makes you do a liver reduction diet, which is literal, and loose weight prior to surgery in addition to the 2-3 group mtgs and NUT appt per month. They drill and drill the stuff in your head so intensely. It could be just my take on it though. It's not bad, I'm just always going to a mandatory meeting if some kind.

I understand! Mandatory is more motivating than non-mandatory! St Vincent's is more what you make of it. NUT and groups available and recommended

My Dr also is switching but since I've already had surgery I'm planning on just staying with IU. Had this happened before surgery I guarantee I would have gone with her. Also if I had it to do all over again I would have started with St.Vincent only because the process is a lot faster there.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
