Hey i am a newbie and i was wondering if there is anyone from Boise ID on here

Boise is my hometown where I grew up but I've lived here in Arkansas since 2006. I sure miss Idaho, I was last there March of 2011.

I'm in Idaho, but way over in Teton County on the Idaho/Wyoming border.

Hi there! I am in Boise!

Nice i was hoping I could meet people in boise going through the same thing. Have you been to any support groups and who did your surgery?

I actually have not had my surgery yet. I am almost 2 months in to my 3 month pre-op diet. I am seeing Dr. Korn at St. Lukes. I am going to my first support group tomorrow evening actually at the Eagle Rd. location. What about you? Who's your doc? When did you have it done? I have only been in Boise about 4 months and have found it to be harder to be obese here than in Eugene where I moved from. I have had a rough time at the gyms here. How about you?

I've lived in Boise twice but now live in VA! What I wouldn't give for a Zen Salad from Zen Bento right now, but alas it can't eat rice for another 7 months lol! Oh yeah and the distance thing! Best of luck to you, boy do I miss the foot hills views, but I don't really want to move back either!

Dr. Oakley and my surgery was on 3/31/14

Wow Tarabara!!! You are fresh out of surgery! How is it going??? I just went for my second to last pre-op diet appointment today. One more month to go!

It is going well i feel great i have lost 20 lbs i am how ever at a stall.

I am glad you are feeling good! I have edseen soooo many posts about the week 3 stall. Don't get discouraged!!!

I'm in the Boise area. 4 weeks post op and my first post on here... I'm a newbie all around

How have you been feeling montyjase? How is it all going? Who is your doc?

I'm doing good I guess. Still on mostly soft foods. Having trouble introducing anything else it seems but all in all I'm good. I've lost around 45 pounds so I guess the trade off for a boring diet is wonderful in my eyes.... My doctor was Sergio Verboonen in Mexico. It was a great experience!!

I'm in boise! Dr valentine did my surgery and Dr Oakley readmitted me into the hospital a week later. My surgery was on Feb 12th. So a little over 2 months out. I had some complications that made Feb and march not so great but doing a lot better now. Down 45 pounds since surgery! The st. Lukes support groups are great, I went to one pre surgery and was thinking about going again.

Monty it helps to not weigh yourself for a week after you hit a stall. I hit the 3 week stall like clockwork and weighing myself everyday was so frustrating. Ultimately what helped me was increasing my calories and hitting my protein goal - that helps my break through
