Congrats Stacey. I bet you are really excited about having your surgery.

I'm ready to get this year started. As soon as it warms up a bit I will start walking again. Hoping to lose some more weight. LOL

Luckily I am from Arizona and it's the quite opposite for me. We walk during the winter months and hibernate during the summers here in the valley of the sun.... God bless and keep in touch -stacey

got an email about local groups...I remember trying to see if this was was active...the person who started it does not seem to have done much and they can't give those right to someone else. Then someone tried to get something going on the regular forums from that group I got invited to join a group that goes to bunch of different support meetings sponsored by all the different hospitals...but through that I was invited to join a DFW Facebook page that is private so only group members see those posts. As it turns out for me, I don't get to go to as many meetings as I would like....due to time. I've made exercise a priority and with working and spending time with hubby and family...it just hasn't happened.

http://kimwls.blogspot.com/ here is my blog...as I started exercising more my posts started slacking, so my goal this year is to be a better blogger. Followers and comments might help there.

I also have a pinterest board called my new healthy that has lots of good stuff. http://www.pinterest.com/kimberlybacon/my-new-healthy/

Thank you Kim for the info. Was wondering why this group hasn't done anything. Maybe posting the FB group link here would help us all get to one "place" to discuss meetings. I know most of us are on FB more than anything else. If you don't mind, can you share the FB group link?

Who knows I may already be part of it....LOL I'm part a few FB groups for local, but most of the time, the meetings are over in Tarrant county and thats just too far for me.

Look forward to reading your blog.

I had my surgery 1/30/15 and would really like to find a support group to attend in the Dallas area. Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Hi! I had my surgery 01/06/2015 and I feel great . Weight is still down but not without 1 or 2 bumps. I started grazing. (Eating small meals all day) because my appetite had kicked in but I was unable to eat more than a little bit at a time. Once I realize what I was doing, I was able to gain control over my appetite and maintain by adding in liquids between meals. I swim and exercise three times a week. I make sure that vegetables and soft fish is a part of my daily meals which are small to begin with. There are a lot of foods that I can't eat because Of texture or thickness or being to greasy. popcorn is my life I love it and can tolerate it. It's the perfect snack or meal for me! Which ever I want it to be at the time. I just go with the flow. The surgery worked really well for me and I count myself as being one of the lucky one to have little or no major drama or set backs. I still have to work at it, but I went into this knowing that this was my second chance at life and I'm not afraid to do the leg work. Nothing is easy in life, but it don't have to be to hard either with a made up mind. Be encouraged my friends!! Fighting!!
