EmilyIsSleeved 6 Posted September 10, 2013 Hey everyone! Just wondering if there were any people in my age group that are from Minnesota or the Midwest in general that would like to chat/be support buddies when needed. I've been having some difficulty staying on track now that I am no longer living with my parents and have to make my own meals. I look forward to hearing from you all!

Mollz 18 Posted September 10, 2013 Hello! I'm 29, from a very small town on the range! Not sure where you're located, but I'm always happy to 'meet' someone from Minnesota on here! I'm still pre-op. Hoping to be sleeved in December. The more support we give each other, the better off we all will be! Interesting that you're struggling now that you're 'on your own'. I have the opposite problem. Every time I go to my parents house it's full stocked with all the bad choices I could dream of! Are you using a food tracker at all to help monitor your intake? Best of luck to you!

EmilyIsSleeved 6 Posted September 11, 2013 I am about 90 minutes west of the Twin Cities. I had my surgery in March of 2012 so I've been post op awhile now. I don't really have the problem of getting junk food from my parents because they are both WLS patients as well. However, they can't give as much support as I am looking for because they had the duodenal switch surgery so they don't exactly get that their post op requirements are different from mine. I try my best to use a food tracker, but I admit that it has been thrown to the side recently since I'm back in college. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EmilyIsSleeved 6 Posted September 16, 2013 Well I'm always up for being buddies with anyone even interested in the surgery. Don't know how helpful a person can be until you talk to them haha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
