I know this is probably a long shot, but is there anyone around the Ventura County area? I would love to have someone else to talk to out here and possibly go on walks with and such

I used to live in Baldwin Park & I'd drive to meet you but now I'm no longer living in paradise.

I was sleeved on 10/22 and I live in Fillmore, CA. That's about 20 min from Ventura. How are you doing ?

[ladylaura 77]

Oh cool! I'm in Moorpark! We should all meet up somewhere!

I'm doing okay. Kind of frustrated because I hit yet another stall It's been 4 1/2 months and I'm only down 51 lbs (I know I shouldnt complain...but it's difficult). How are you all feeling?

I'm feeling better. I'm 10 days out and looking forward to getting out of stage 2 (Liquids) and into stage 3 (soft and pureed foods). I'm disappointed that I've only lost about 6 lbs since surgery but I know it will come off.

I had my surgery through Kaiser. Where did everyone else have their surgery?

[ladylaura 77]

I don't blame you! I hated not having food I can chew LOL (weird how you miss that, isn't it?). Don't feel bad you've lost 6 lbs! That's about where I was. But it says you're down 45 lbs? That's amazing!! That is great Keep at it! When I did weight watchers before the surgery, I was lucky to be down a pound or two in one week...so 6 lbs in 10 days is awesome

I had my surgery at my doctors surgical center in Woodland Hills. It went well, thankfully

I'm having mine done with Dr. Feiz...was supposed to be in thousand oaks but got moved to Huntington Beach. My surgery date is November 21. I start my liquid pre op diet this Thursday....it's starting to feel real now! Excited and a little nervous!

That's great! I understand all those emotions...I went through them too. It's completely normal I had second and third thoughts, doubted myself...thought "why not just stay on weight watchers instead of doing something so drastic?" stuff like that. But, I'm really glad I did it! It really is helpful and my biggest issue was portion control...now, it's not an issue LOL You will be so happy when it's done and you get into routine Excited for you!
