Westminster is off of the 405 at Beach Blvd. Are you familiar with that area?

Hi Tara. How have you been? I'm putting together a local support group. Wanted to know if you would be interested. I'm looking to do it at my house in Westminster. Let me know. Looking forward to hearing from you. PS anyone is welcome to the support group, so if you know anyone else in the area who would be interested too. Take care.

Hi Connie how are you doing? I'm putting together a local support group and wanted to know if you would be interested. I;m looking to have it at my place in Westminster. Let me know. Look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for the sweet compliment. How are you doing?

My hubby is also going through the steps to get the surgery. I'm shocked how in less than a year the requirments have changed. My husband had to go through 6 dietician sessions, I did 2. He just saw the phychiatrist (i know I spelled that wrong) yesterday. Now once he gets all the documents together they will submit them to our insurance for approval to see the doctor. Starting your diet is so hard, I know, but I promise the sooner you start doing it the better. Don't be naive to think that you will be able to follow the plan that you will be following after surgery, its imposssible. I tried and there was no way I could eat that little. I started with cutting out sweets, breads, and snacking. I focussed on 3 healthy meals and it really worked for me. I was asked to lose 10-15 pounds prior to surgery and lost 22 pounds. It was hard, but if you work it you can do it. I wish you all the best and hope that your time goes by fast. Keep my updated on your progress. Good luck.

Hi Nancy,

Thanks so much for the sweet compliments. I had my surgery on Jan 7th. I'm almost 5 months post op. I started my journey 3 days before Thanksgiving @ 356 lbs. I lost 22 pounds prior to surgery. Since surgery I have lost 55 1/2 pounds for a grand total of 77 1/2.

Thanks so much for the photo compliment. How is everything going? My hubby is now going throught he steps for the surgery. I see he will be having alot of what you have to get done too.

Thanks so much for the photo comment. How are you doing?

Carmen, Have you been doing? So sorry I haven't written in a while. I would love to get together sometime to chat. I'm trying to get together a support meeting, but have been really busy at home lately. I hope to do it soon. Let me know how everything is and how your feeling.

Hi Carmen, I'm Tiffeny in Westminster. How are you doing? When did you have your surgery. I had mine on Jan 7th. How is life with the band. I am trying to get a support group together, but it nice to see that there is someone so close to me to talk to about the band. I look forward to talking to you.
