Looking for a mentor/buddy

[KimberleyP 21]

Hello,

This has been an informative site with lots of supportive people. I would like a buddy/mentor to share with and learn from. I'm not real savvy on social networking, but am getting better all the time. I am a good friend when it comes to old fashioned communication methods, but feel I fumble in this social network arena. I live in Montana and know my best option for finding a new friend going through this journey, or who is further along this journey, is by reaching out beyond my comfort zone. So here I am :-)

I was banded 12-13-12 and my husband was done two weeks later. It is good to have each other, but I'm more social and do find I could use some other interaction with others on this topic as I move through the life changes. I look forward meeting a new friend.

Hello

I was banded on 12-28-13, being your buddy would be great. I think we can all learn from each other. My husband was banded in 2009. He never had a fill lost 50 lbs but is gaining some back. He will be seeing my doc soon for a fill. This site is not very user friendly I dont think. I live in California. I'm actually doing really good. Just got of the eliptical after a 30 minute work out.

Great to meet you!

Hi Kimberley,

I feel the same way. I am not computer savvy either, and I don't do much social networking. I come on this site constantly because I need all of the support I can get. I was banded on 12/28/12 also. I would love to be buddies also. It's good having someone to talk to that can relate to what you're going thru. We can all get thru this together! Good luck! :-)

Hi I was banded 12-14-12. I would love to have a band buddy or mentor. I am constantly on this site between chores and exercise. I currently live in Nevada but am from Oregon. We will be transferring again with my husbands job here shortly. So, it is hard to make new friends. Keep up the good work and feel free to add me.

Shady121, I agree with you also. This site is not very user friendly. I am still trying to figure some stuff out here. Keep up the good work on the exercise. I need to work on that area! :-)

Hello ShannaH, Desert Diva, and Shady2121,

Nice to meet you all. Now I have to figure out how to add friends and the best way to communicate.

For me, I would resort to e-mail, because that I understand. Part of my challenge is I can't figure out whether my challenges with the website are with the actual website or with the IPad app. When I can't seem to make something work on my IPad, I've been going to the website from my computer and I have better luck. I'm going to try and "add friends" and "personal message". If all else fails, my e-mail is: kputzke@gmail.com

More intros as I figure this stuff out....

Kimberley, I already added you as a friend on my profile. :-)
