Farmington, NM. In the Northwest corner. About 45 miles from Durango. I was in Denver last week. I get there every few months as my boss lives there. I work from home.

Yes, you talk to me on OH. I just replied to a thread you had somewhere else on here.

Yeah, but now we are going to be skinny girls in Colorado! Yeah, we can be buddies. I hope your surgery went good, I know with Dr. Snyder it did. What band did you get? Lap band or Realize? Do you have a Blackberry phone? I ask because you were typing on the threads from your cell. Let me know everything when you feel up to it...

Sweet! I like the I-Phones, I have a Blackberry through AT&T though. I really wanted an I-Phone, but at the time I bought it the I-Phones were still like $599 (just before they had the newer cheaper ones this year). :) Oh well, I still love my phone.

I can't believe you are up and talking to me from the hospital right now, HAHAHAHA!! That's too damn funny! Ok, as far as gas pains, will the nurses let you walk around at all? That is what helped me the most that first night that and the fact that the meds he prescribed didn't do sh*t for me (they do now, but the gas pains hurt too much then). I called him and got liquid medicine, it was some sort of narcotic. That worked wonders!!! If you are in pain, tell the damn nurse you need something else or need to walk. The only thing with the walking is that it doesn't make them go away, it just makes them less painful. Let me know what you do, ever since surgery I am up until at least 3 (I took time off work and I am taking advantage dammit!)... :tt2:

Hey Nicole! How are you? I only have the iphone cause my boyfriend bought a new one and gave me his old one. I am sooo hard on phones so I would've never opted to buy it myself! But I do love it. How are you? I have a lapband, what made you chose realize? I had a really hard time trying to figure out which one to go with.

I WAS a fat chick in Colorado...banded almost a year ago. LOL I'm on the western slope. Hope things are going well for you since your surgery. I still have 40 lbs to go and am still considered "overweight." So I guess "fat" would be a relative term. LOL

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
