Hi everyone. I checked with my local library (which has two branches) and you have to pay to use their meeting rooms and their rooms looked pretty booked up for the next six weeks. Just wanted to keep you in the loop.

Hi Jenna,

I just saw your post. I don't know if I'm losing my wits, but this site, although wonderful for bringing us together, is difficult to navigate. Maybe I just need to get familiar with it. I also had a week where I was helping a friend recover from two grand mal seizures. But, thank you so much for your support! It means a lot to me. I'm pretty scared but your words are encouraging :)

Anyway, congratulations on your weight loss! It will be great to support you in person too!

Hi Jenna,

If everyone's okay with sharing drinks only, we could also go to a casual restaurant. Unfortunately, my friend had another grand mal seizure after he was released from Western Medical Center last week & I'm helping him manage his bills and other tasks. I'm visiting him a lot, but I think I could work in a needed break on a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. It doesn't matter where at this point because I'm willing to travel, but there is a nice marketplace across the street from my home, where there are courtyards of tables and chairs. It's nice on a warm day and nicely lit in the evenings. It's close to the 73, 405 and 55 Fwys. If you don't hear from me for a while, it's because I'm inundated with tasks. But, please keep me posted on any progress and I'll check my account every other day or so. Can't wait to get together!

Maybe if it's not to windy , it was crazy driving to Costa Mesa just to see my Lap band surgeon .

But we will see wave going on that day or evening , I understand I also have my issues as I have a 17 yr. old that be 18 in August and he is away at sort of lock down school focusing on his studies , he has quite a few issues , that I have learned to deal with, but for people that don't know him it is hard for them to think like he does, that is nice that you are there for your friend and helping , and if it is to windy I really don't want to drive to far so will see what we can do.

Hi there friends. Sorry it's been so long since I posted. I have not forgotten you. I was wondering if any of you that offered for us to meet in your homes are still up for that? I would love to get a meeting time set up and get a group together.

Please respond here or private message me.

Thanks!

Jen

I live in Riverside county, but there is no chapter, so far in Riverside county... I work in Orange County. I would like to join and be a member of this chapter. I am scheduled to have a Lap Band to VSG 06/03/14. It is very important in my journey to share, be supportive and receive support from others who are in a similar weight loss journey, so with that being said, I look forward to the future with you all

Hi all,

I just found out I am moving to San Diego. So I am hoping someone can finally get this group going and start meeting. I'm sorry I wasn't able to secure a place. Good luck to all of you!

Hi

I live in north San Diego County. I had lapband surgery 4 or 5 years ago and could use a support group. I know there used to be a group in San Diego, but I don't know if it is still going. My laptop is being repaired but I wonder if a google search of something like weight loss surgery support groups in San Diego would bring up anything.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
