VST Community Group: Houston Active Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hello everybody.

I just wanted to remind everyone of the VST Community Group called Houston Active Sleevers. I started it a very long time ago, just after my surgery, so that makes it about a year and a half old.

Orignally the intention was to hopefully get a monthly group together to meet, talk and laugh and exercise. I thought we could center each meeting around an event or a new location each time so the same people would not have to drive huge distances to attend.

I also want to share my favorite hang-outs and places to exercize, shop for awesome healthy foods and just kick back and enjoy my new self.

If you are not a member, please consider joining. If I can get 100 members, I am going to make a brief monthly calender of things to do in Houston that provide an opportunity to get out and have fun and be active and awesome!!!

If you are not nearby I encourage you to locate a group like this in the communities for your area.

***DID YOU KNOW HOUSTON HAS A BICYCLE SHARE PROGRAM ??? WE DO!!!

I am *SO* happy to see this. I'm in the DFW area and belong to two support groups and looking at joining more. I *HIGHLY* recommend people get involved with groups in their area. Online is nice, but it doesn't copare to face-to-face.

Best of luck to you Houston!

I live in Houston and would really like to belong to a face to face group. I will look for details on any meet and greets that are scheduled.

:)

I would suggest you join the group that way the info will go directly to you. You go to the community tab above and can search "Houston Active Sleevers".

I will mention more later, but September 2nd is the eighth annual Free Day of Yoga, and in Houston we are having a big celebration!!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
