Terrell TX - Area Support Group



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

Several weeks ago I was contacted by a couple of members of Obesity Help. They have formed a WLS Support Group for any in the Terrell TX area. So far they have held 2 meetings, so the group is still very new. All are welcome, pre-ops, post-ops or no-ops [spouses/friends]!

Meetings are be held every other Saturday [9am 'til ??] at the new Starbuck's at I-20 & Hwy.34 in Terrell (Exit #501 off I-20). Starbuck's used to be a Burger King & is on the Northwest corner of Highway 34 and Interstate 20. The next two meetings will scheduled for Saturday, July 23rd and then August 6th.

At this point most of the Terrell Support Group is comprised Gastric By-Pass patients. So far everybody has been very supportive of each other and respected each others surgical choices.

I thought if we could get some more Lap-Band patients to come to the Saturday morning meetings that we could decide at a later date if it would make more sense to hold separate "Bandster" meetings. At least this would provide us Terrell / Kaufman / Willis Point "Bandsters" an alternate Support Meeting location that did not require a drive all the way into Dallas and the time was convenient.

So why not stop by for a morning cup of coffee or tea and then continue with your normal weekend activities... Hope to see you there!

Just a friendly reminder that the Terrell area support group will be meeting at 9:00am Saturday, August 6th at the Starbucks coffee located on Highway 34 [next to the I20 West entrance ramp]. For those of you familiar with the area, the Starbucks used to be a Burger King.

Hope to see you there!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
