In Pocatello looking for Support group or friends.

So how did the surgery go?

The surgery itself went well. I was motivated and as a result healed nice. I was up and out of bed as soon as I was in my room and into a chair then shortly after that I was up and walking. I had no complications to date. I have lost about 73 pounds in 3 months and three weeks. I hope to loss a total of 79 pounds by the end of the month but how knows. I am lossing slowly. I ride a sationary bike every day for 5 to 8 miles as day and I walk and such. I eat limited carbs and lost of protein and water. My tummy just does not want to let go of it's fat. I have lost a lot and have shrunk yet my belly is fustrating me. I really do not know what I can do to get it to shrink.

Let me see here .... hmmmm it is now 4 yr since I have had the surgery. (RnY) I lost a total of 230 lb. I was 425. It took about 100lb loss befor ppl started to actualy notice. Now I tend to fluctuate between 195 and 200.(I am 6'1'') I learned that different parts loose at different times. Just be patient. Funny thing. I still have the last pair of wranglers I wore day of surgery, also the Polo shirt and the shoes. NONE of them fit. ( obveusly haha ) pants were 54 waist (now I am a 34) shirt was a 3X ( now a medium) shoes were a 9 1/2 EEE (now I wear 8 1/2 W). It takes time but eventualy you will be where you want. just hang in there. Sounds like you are doing great.

Hi, I am in Boise. Is this a group that one can join online and not be in person? My surgery was October 4th. I started at 230 Surgery weight 218 today 204 I do not know if I am doing anything right and don't seem to be losing much. I would like a support group that we can talk about our problems. thank You
