(we all gathered at Red Robin for some good conversation and a nice meal!)

What a great picture ! I am so glad I got to meet all of you and see those I already knew again.

It meant a lot to me to be able to talk and hear from others with the band, friends and family try but it sure isn't the same!

And welcome Megan! Why is your consult in January? Is Dr S taking some time off? Either way, it will be here before you know it!

Hi Colorado Bandsters!

It was great to meet a few of you last week at Red Robin. Just wanted you to know we have another Red Robin night scheduled: Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 7:00, I-25 and Arapahoe. Hope to see you all again! I really enjoy meeting other bandsters and hearing how you are doing with the band lifestyle.

Thanks, enjoyed meeting you too. I hope to be there on the 4th. I usually have support group on that night but I think they moved it next month due to that being election night.

Hi guys! thanks for the welcome!

I think you are right Bikini he must be taking the holidays off! I am anxious to get started.

Just had my consult on Tuesday and it went really well - she was great! She said she might be starting a support group for Dr. Snyder's peeps in a few months.

Is anyone going to the Go Cart races on Saturday?

Did you get in for a consult? I thought you had to wait til Jan? but then you said she so maybe it was with someone else? Dr Snyder has lots of support groups around town. Check some out while you wait for surgery. It helped me a lot to go to one before surgery. They are either listed on Rose Medicals website or Denver bariatrics.

That was neat to see a picture of you guys. I have been so tired since going back to work. Spaced it out. Maybe I can come next time. Does anyone ever get together in Colorado Springs? That might be easier for some of us. Just wondering. :smile:

Cassy, I believe the next meet is Nov 4th, will you be in town then?

I know I couldnt' make anything in Colorado Springs, not for lack of wanting to meet more folks, but for distance. I live way up north and the meeting on Arapahoe is about my limit for now especially at night. I almost didn't go to that but my daughter drove, lucky me!!

HI Dynamomini!

Nice to see you here! Monday, the big day for you...you will be in my thoughts, let us know how you are doing. The weather is wonderful, I have Spring Fever sooo bad, I shopped all day yesterday. Spent way too much on lawn and garden treasures...I LOVE IT!!

Connie,

You are an inspiration, I hope to get my mind set as you have. Do you do Water excercises? (because of your knee surgeries). You must feel fantastic!

Collector,

Hope your recovery is going well, I wish I was on the other side already...anxiuos and nervous....May 18th...sooooo far away!

Hi, I am from Elizabeth, CO,(near South Lands Mall) I was banded 6-08. I wonder if you had the surgery and how you are doing? Would you like to see if we could have a friend in each other?

I am married, 55, have a cat and a dog, live on the flatlands.

Barbara

I had a great time last night. It was nice meeting everyone. If I talked too much, I hope you'll forgive me. :) I don't really have anyone to talk to about my band or what I am going through (other than the wonderful online people I have met, of course) so I tend to get a little excited at support meetings. :lol:

julie

Julie, we live kind of close, I could meet you at South Lands Mall some time, would you like to meet for coffee and talk about our band lifestyle changes? I was banded 6-08. I am from CT and don't have any friends out here, so I get lonely once in a while.

Hey Barb, welcome! I was banded in June too, on the 5th, by Dr. Snyder. Doing great. I am so thrilled with it and so glad I did this for myself.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
