Recommended Posts

This is a great idea!!

I am 37 years old, happily married with no human children. We have 4 pugs, 2 rottweilers, and 3 cats. We live in central California, but are relocating to Pennsylvania within the next year.

I am a medical transcriptionist and work for a large company from home. I have a bachelor's degree in management and used to work for the railroad before MT'ing. I love to read, crochet, play with the dogs, work, laugh, and spend time with my husband who travels a lot.

I am a 51 year old grandmother. I am married and have a yellow lab named Casey. I love dogs, I collect angels and cyrstal figures. I love to read, take walks (which I haven't been able to do for awhile, can't wait till after surgery to do again) and movies, especially suspense and thrillers. I love flea markets and traveling. I usually put in a small garden each year and love lots of flowers.

Is someone in charge of the penpal situation? I was wondering if we are still supposed to PM someone or we are being matched up? :confused:

I love this penpal idea. However since I'm living in Portugal, some one from the UK would be ideal because of postage. (shipping to the US is WAY expensive and vice versa for some one shipping here.)

I'm 25, married for 2 yeas to a wonderful hubby. I'm orginaly from Florida, I have a B.S. in business management, but I teach English here in Portugal. I like to play tennis, I also play the flute, and I like to do lots of crafts like needle point and crocheting(sp) I'm not banded yet, but I'm in the process (docs appts and all) I don't have any kids, but I have 2 cats, I love animals.

Ok so should we find some one or is some one going to match us up with some one else?

If some one gives me the Go Ahead, I'll make a list of every one that signed up and work out a system to match people up. I can:

A:Make a summary list of every ones post and then you can pm me with who you would like to be matched up with and I'll set it up

B:Make a list of names and just randomly draw from a hat to match people up.

C:I can match up people who I think would be good penpals on my own.

What do you guys thinK? Or should we wait for the person who started the thread to come back and set things up?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
