Need a buddy/mentor...

[CupofJojo 68]

In other news, I told my mom about the surgery! She was like, "oh yea, two of my church members had that done, good for you!" Lol, pleasant surprise bc I told her yesterday which was two year anniversary of Dad's passing. The coolest thing ever, was that just as I was about to cry (missing dad) the phone rang and it was the surgeons office telling me they were sending my info to insurance co. No tears after all,just happy about taking control of my life. :-)

Hey lady, now that mom is on board, how are things going?

[CupofJojo 68]

Hey! I'm still waiting! I am praying I will get a call soon to set up my surgery date. How are things with you?

[CupofJojo 68]

What's MFP?

[Lainey3074 98]

Things are good! In my body, I feel good! My Fitness Pal is an app where you are able to log your food and keep track of your meals. You are able to "friend" people and view their menu to get food ideas.

[CupofJojo 68]

Oh yea! Lol, I should have remembered that! Question, did you have to keep a food diary? If so, did keep one while you were waiting for your surgery date?

I so meed a buddy/mentor right now. I had my surgery July 30, 2013 so 6 months now.. and I've lost 56 lbs, yay! I've been at the same weight for more then two weeks now. To be honest.. my diet has not been the best. I am afraid I've stretched my stomach because at night I can't seem to curve my appetite. I have IBS and drinking Protein drinks only causes flare ups which makes leaving the house very difficult. I've also been losing my hair, a lot which has me depressed. I am taking supplements & using Hair loss shampoo/conditioner. HELP!!

I'm happy to be your buddy but won't be much help as I am only 1 month out. Elainejohnson3074@gmail.com

Cliftongirl, for additional support i joined instagram (mycupofjojo) and searched wls (weight loss surgery) and vgs vertical gastric sleeve, rny etc. I think people respond quicker on there. I'm still pre op but everything youre describing is stuff I see on my feed every day!

Mary did you get your surgery done before 2014?

Girl, I wish! Work and family bumped my schedule. I'm scheduled for March 5th. Looks like self pay, but oh well.
