Would love Support in Denver!



Recommended Posts

I just scheduled my sleeve for April (if all goes well with classes and insurance!) I am a single, 44 year old woman who lives in Denver and while I have some friends here...family is out of state and neither friends or family really understand why I am doing this. I would love to find/ meet some folks in the Denver area who have gone through bariatric surgery or are in the process of getting WLS.

Thanks Much,...y'all are an inspiration to those of us just starting down this path!

Hi! I'm Dani and I had my sleeve on Tuesday January 21st, 2014. I live on the Littleton/Centennial border. My insurance is Kaiser. Dr Chae did my surgery at St Josephs hospital in Denver. I'm originally from Aurora, but many generations of my family are natives from Silverton and Boulder. I'm a married 33 year old mother of two. I look forward to being fit in the fittest of all 50 states.

Hope your journey goes wonderfully! Keep me posted on your progress.

Hello. I'm in Lowry area and had surgery 12/17 in Dallas. I would love a little Denver support group! I think my friends and family are sick of hearing me and they just don't understand.

Great!!!!. Maybe we could set up a gathering? Maybe at a park or something? I'd love to chat with people who know or want to know what going through this is like. I love this forum but it would be nice to connect in person too.

Love seeing more Denver folk! And I am also looking forward to being one of the fit in the fittest state in the union!

I am in Sunnyside, but would love to meet up with other sleevers in the area....especially during the summer, where outdoor activities are abundant!

Good luck to y'all

How are you wonderful Denver women doing? I have been officially scheduled for surgery on April 28th....which means my last hurrah is going to be at The Rockies home opener :)

I really am looking forward to spending the summer slimming down, biking, hiking and enjoying this great city with a little more confidence.

Would live to hear updates from Denver post-ops :)

Hello,

I'm doing well. I am 2 1/2 weeks Post Op from my bypass and down 45lbs. I am down 64lbs since Pre Op in November. Although I have at least another 80lbs to go, I'm feeling great. I have been working with a personal trainer 2 days a week for about a month now and he's helping to keep my motivated.

      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.
