New Group - New People

Welcome all to this new group.  Let's share about ourselves.

I am six years out from WLS. I had an RNY and have lost 225 pounds.  I have kept all most all of it off.  6 Months ago my asthma started acting up again and I had to take two prednisone cycles. UGH. I gained 30 pounds and I am now down 7 of those.  But, hey ... my asthma is gone and I can breathe.

I love my new life after WLS.  It's an amazing journey.

Your turn now!

 Hi! I am exactly 2 weeks post op today, so I'm definitely a newbie.   So far I've lost 25 pounds.  I'm still in the full liquid stage, and I'm getting kinda antsy to move on to soft foods.  I'm going to start attending the support group held up at OHSU tomorrow, and I'm slowly getting back into the gym.  I'm glad to see a group for the Portland area!

How did the support meeting go?  I am a Kaiser patient and I am very active in one of the support groups at Sunnyside. I also attend ones at Salmn Creek and Town Hall occaisonally.

Does OHSU have a good, viable support system for post ops?

Are you getting in all of your water in a day and doing protein first before other foods?
