I would like to participate, but I have a couple of questions. Is this email exchange oriented towards bypass folks or sleevers? Or does it not matter? Also, what would be some appropriate items to put in a box? I suppose Snacks are out of the question, LOL! :)

I really don't think I will be getting a box from my pen pal this month. I have only received one email from her, fifteen days ago. She sent me a message with her mailing address, and said she was so ready to mail out my box, but I haven't heard anything from her since.

I did my part and mailed out her box 13 days ago. This is the first time I have not received anything.

I know your frustrations. My intention on starting this program was for us to help each other not take advantage of each other. I too, have been stood up a few times but I know those pen pals that I've had are very appreciative. :)

Don't give up, there are some great pen pals out there.

someone would be kind enough to let me know what they do in an instance like this. Hello there, it's been 2 weeks since my operation and today was a very difficult day. I was craving sweet stuff so badly and I just could not for the life of my change my mindset. I am a little fragile today and scared that my mind will let me down. Please if someone could advise me

      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.
