I'd be interested in an online support group. My center only has meetings every other month and I feel like I'd prefer to have more accountability than that!

I would also be super interested in a group that follows books and workbooks. I'm looking into the books posted above! 😃

Yay! That's awesome! Did you take the poll, please?

It's one and the same private club. We will have weekly online support meetings face to face via Zoom and will have a private group only accessible by BAC (Bariatric Accountability Club) members on FB. We will also do FB Live meetings/interviews with leaders in the bariatric world-docs, psychs, RDs, fitness people. Etc. And we will also have a book club. I think that will meet every couple of weeks? Also live face to face via Zoom.

We'll provide a basic sample meal plan that people are welcome to use, modify, make their own and we will also provide access to our MFP food diary so you can go visit it and see other examples of daily eating. There will also be free recipes and some video recipes. There will also be a cooking lesson at least every couple of weeks. And of course you can go hang out in the group and get lots of peer support as well.

I'm putting everything together now and hope to have it ready by Jan.1. I'm still trying to figure out the monthly subscription rate--trying to keep it as low as possible and still cover present and future costs.

It is NOT intended to take away from BP. It's intended as an ADDITION to our Bariatric Pal home. For those needing more in depth support.

We're also going to try to figure out how to set up appointments 1 on 1 with either an accountability partner, or with psychologists and also RDs. But that is Stage 2 down the road.

Picked up the recommended book (it's free on Kindle Unlimited) and will order the workbook after Christmas. Really looking forward to this group.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
