Hello MusicMom and welcome to this wonderful forum. I am from the East Bay, San Fransico area. I stumbled across this website the later part of March and l absolutely love it. I'm currently going through the process of having WLS. I meant with my surgeon on Tuesday and on June 20th I'm scheduled to meet with the psy for eval. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. This is definitely a HUGH lifestyle comittment. But I think I'm ready for the change. So hop on in and ask as many questions, browse through as many post, give suggestions and make comments.

Hello! I'm in the east bay. Been here my whole life. I recently had my Sleeve surgery just in March 2017 and I'm 4 months Post op. So far I've lost 50lbs.
I feel great and so happy I made the decision.

I'm happy to answer any questions.
Welcome to this awesome support system.

Welcome Sam
I go to good Sam as there is no bariatric fills that I know of on this side of the hill.
What an exciting time of changes for you ! you gotta believe and trust the program I think. I'm 10 years post op ( banded). So different wls. But I'm still working on staying consistent: Protein and exercise being my main components. And that 90 lbs never came back thankfully!
Keep posting..., it is good to see fresh people overcoming a big life obstacle like obesity....

Yes! Maybe we can do a meet up at a park or a Starbucks? (My dr doesn't allow coffee but I can get a tea!) I'm open Monday thru Friday from 4-7 in the San Jose area and during the weekends since I live in Hayward I'm open to meeting in Fremont or Milpitas. Also I created and instagram page just in case that is easier for everyone to message : Sasha.thesleeve

Hi! I live near Palo Alto. I'm having surgery at Stanford on August 7th. Maybe we can gather the Bay Area locals and meet in an area that works for everyone?

I live in Palo Alto and would be available for meet ups this side of the peninsula. As I'm retired I'm pretty free on time.

      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.
