I'm new to this still on my 6 month diet wait period I'm struggling hard since I really don't have the support from friends and family I have looked into the support group at OHSU but since it is at 10 am kind of hard for me to attend since I work does anyone know of some different groups that have evening hours ?

Peer support group is set up and meets Quarterly. We have been meeting in libraries but OHSU has given us a semi permanent home in a building near the waterfront and the tram.

We have guest speakers, good discussions and fun!

Next meeting is SATURDAY, Jan 21. 10-noon.

Everyone is invited ... it's not an official OHSU meeting.

For more info call me: 971-322-5281

Email me at Lauraishealthy@gmail.com for more info.

Group is usually 45-60 attendees

Hello @[mention=189272]VannaD[/mention],
I had my sleeve done a few years ago, but if you would like to chat on the phone or meet for a cup of coffee PM me or drop me a line here.
I choose the sleeve because I did not want the malabsorption issues. Almost 5 years out and no restrictions. Best decision I made.

Hi PDXman,

I just saw your earlier posts which had the decline letters from Legacy, which said an organization had to be a nonprofit 501©(3). I'm an attorney and would be happy to set one up to see if that could get us the space we need for a support group. I love your idea about cooking demonstrations and walking.

Let me know if you're interested in pursuing this.

Thanks for starting this thread!

      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.
