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.

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.

      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.
