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.

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!

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
