    Honest Buddy Needed

    Hi @Yvette804it's going well! I hit a plateau for a bit but that was my fault from eating foods that weren't as nutrious as I should have because of my grandmother becoming ill, ending up in hospice and ultimately her death the last week and a half. But with the help of my family I am back on track and still losing! 40 pounds down and I meet my surgeon on Tuesday and am looking forward to continuing on this journey

    My date is also January 30th! Day 6 of the liquid diet...I thought it would get easier but it hasn't! Cannot wait for this to be over.

    @@Yvette804 Best of luck on your surgery! How are you finding the diet? You are so close to surgery, congratulations! With hard work, I'm sure this will work for you! I am currently having those thoughts as well! I'm struggling so much to get through the diet that I'm wondering if I was just meant to be morbidly obese forever.

    @@Elle09 I got through the day, thank you so much for asking, I appreciate it! I haven't cheated at all yet. I'm so proud of myself. I'm a supply teacher and didn't get any calls for the last 3 days so its just been me and my thoughts. I have work from tomorrow until my surgery on the 30th and I think keeping busy is going to really help me. It's all worth it in the end right?

    Thank you for that @@Elle09 I have two weeks as well. It's so difficult to watch everyone around me eat as I drink a 300ml protein shake. Congratulations on losing 110 lbs! This is amazing. I cannot wait for my journey to continue

    I am on day 2 of a 14 day liquid diet...definitely feeling depressed. I'm hungry, tired, and annoyed with everything.

    PCOS is polycystic ovary syndrome. It is basically caused by hormones being out of balance; cysts grow on the ovaries and causes various health issues (including diabetes and heart problems). I also have more testosterone than the average woman has, issues with periods, and infertility. My gyno thinks that being overweight my entire life is the cause of PCOS.

    I am so excited to see people reply to my post! Thank you all so much! I just received my two weeks of Protein drinks for my pre-op liquid diet. I start on Monday. This has been a dream for so long that I'm still in shock that it is happening for me.
  10. Hi all, My name is Megan and I'm getting sleeved on January 30th, 2017. I'm 26 years old from Canada and I am a teacher. I decided that I wanted this surgery after I started teaching elementary school summer of 2015. My students were so active and the school playground is on a hill and I was honestly dreading each day because I was having so much trouble keeping up with the students. I decided I needed to make a change and I talked to my doctor in November of 2015 about gastric bypass surgery. I told my doctor that I was willing to pay out of pocket (not sure where I was planning on getting money from) and she explained that because I was diagnosed with hypertension and PCOS that the government's health plan will take of this for me. So we started the paper work... May 2016 I met a nurse and a large group of people for an information session. November 2016 I met a nurse, and my surgeon. We talked about the procedure and did a Q/A meeting. December 2016 I did pre-op tests. I had to get a blood test, meet a nutritionist, do an EKG, an endoscopy, and meet my surgeon again. January 30th 2017 is my surgery date. I'm nervous. I'm freaking out. And I'm absolutely terrified of regain. I've had a bad relationship with food my entire life and I worry that I'll mess this up for myself. I'm hoping to find an honest buddy or buddies that are in the same situation as me! I want to be able to talk and share support with people. Even give some tough love/brutal honesty sometimes when I try to make up excuses! Anybody out there looking for a sleeve buddy?
