Washington State Friends



Recommended Posts

Hi! I have got a surgery date of June 23, 2022! I am wondering if there is anyone on this forum that lives in Washington State, the Pacific Northwest to be exact, or, to be even more exact... The Olympic Peninsula? I'd love someone to talk to, whether you have had the surgery yet or not. Just someone who is on the same journey as me would be fantastic!

I wish. I grew up on Whidbey Island over there. Miss the Pacific Northwest so much. Wish houses were not so expensive lol. :) Good luck on finding a PNW buddy.

I live right across the Water from Whidbey! In Port Townsend! Yes everything is absolutely crazy expensive.

SOOO LUCKY lol. I always loved just sitting and relaxing at Fort Casey watching the ferry between Coupville and Port Townsend. Great place to take pictures too. I grew up there from 1988-2000 and last went back 2 years ago.

Things are so crazy right now. I work a couple jobs-- Occupational Health and Home Care supervision. We are in dire need of caregivers if you know any.

Your stats are awesome. Congrats on reaching goal!

Thank you-you too! Being new to the area I don’t really know people in healthcare outside of Unity. It is a crazy time to work in the medical field for sure!

Absolutely love the photo! I've grown up in PT, went to all of the schools k-12. It is a really beautiful place. I got married in Langley in September of last year! It was weird to see the bluffs of a PT vs. Whidbey like usual.

I lived in Indianola for 11 years and just moved to Silverdale this last year! I will be having surgery with Dr. Clive in October. I hope your journey is going well!

I went to Dr. Reyes who works in the same office! So far since late June, I am down over 50lbs! If you ever need to reach out, I'm here!

      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
