Looking for a buddy or mentor :)

[kittyforet 50]

Hi!

I'd like a buddy or mentor to join me on my journey. Someone who has been through it or someone who is going through it with me at the same time. Anyone!!!

I'm getting banded June 20, 2011 in Houston, Texas. I start my liquid diet June 10; not looking forward to drinking my meals but if it will get me prepared and somewhat healthy before surgery, I will do my best.

Married mom (38) of 3 kids, ages 3, 8, 10, including one who has autism.

I draw inspiration from reading the posts here on LBT and hope to one day be an inspiration for others!

thanks!

I would love to add you ! I had my surgery dec.29th 2010 . I had my liquid diet during christmas and I'm not going to lie at times it did get hard and tempting especially because I love baking with my kids at christmas time and I still did it and I did a lot of smelling and I made sure I drank one of my chocolate shakes why I was baking so that helped! But I just kept telling myself its going to so well worth it in the end and it has been ! I love being banded . Good luck and maybe all of us can become buddys !

i would love to be buddies! I am a 32 year old mother of 4 (13,11,4,1). I am waiting to hear from insurance i was hoping for a may date but that's looking grim anyway the sooner the better i have been waiting for a very long time. I was 3 months into my 6 months dr. supervised weight loss program when i surprisingly got pregnant with my now 1 year old so that put it off til now ,with breastfeeding until 13 months and all i am finishing my 6 months thurs. is my final appt. but they went ahead and submitted to insurance.. so im crossing fingers it happens very soon.
