I am in pre op having surgery in 9 days and I'm terrified/excited and would really love someone to talk to and help me with this journey! Any one in the DFW area?

I'm just outside of Fort Worth, had surgery 7/6 and am new to the group. Would love to have someone to talk to as well if you are able.

I am absolutely available! Would love to have someone to talk to as well! I am right next to lewisville and grapevine. Just moved to Texas a year ago so I don't know much about location. How are you feeling so far?

Hey there!! I'm doing ok, it's definitely a struggle to get all the protein and hydration I need and I've been super weary of trying to introduce soft solids for fear of dumping syndrome. I'm about 45 minutes SW of FW but I used to live in Grapevine a few years ago so I've got a good idea of where you're at. How are you doing?

Hey!! I live right in Flower Mound and I had my surgery January 9th! How have you been doing since surgery?

Hello! I’m doing ok, it’s up and down but I’m feeling better as I lose pounds. It never seems fast enough but I keep that in perspective! How are you doing?

For sure! I completely get, it always feels like the weight is coming off so slowly. I’m doing really well, feeling a lot better and I’m going on 9 months post op. I’ve lost a little over 100 pounds and have been really working out a lot and trying to stay active while eating right.

hi!! i am doing really well. My biggest struggle is getting enough protein and water everyday. I'm also having a really hard time remembering to take my vitamins everyday. Do you guys ever stand up too quickly and black out? That's been happening to me lately! I am 10 days shy of 4 months out from surgery and have lost a total of 105 lbs. (I lost 40 lbs in preparation for surgery). I am hoping to lose 30-40 more lbs. I am hoping I can do it but a little in disbelief that it could be possible. Then again if you had asked me 4 months ago if I thought I would be down 100 lbs I would of said heck no!

Hey yall! My name is Adam and I'm in Weatherford, which is 30 minutes west of Fort Worth. I had the RNY Gastric Bypass back on September 26. I'm struggling bad with trying to stay away from fast food. I've already stretched my stomach out some :-( Have yall had any trouble about staying away?
