Skype buddy system?



Recommended Posts

Hi my name is Autumn I'm having my surgery the last week in sept. I would really like to start an online chat group with pre op and post op individuals to maybe help each other out and support one another. Meet once a week at a certain time. We can discuss or weight loss for that week. Our struggles we went through and more some. Please let me know what you think! Thanks.

I think a Skype group would be great. I am 4 weeks out and am seeing weight go up and down. Not happy. I had a dream last night that I had this surgery and a year later was still fat. I woke crying and can not get it out of my head. So depressed

I'd like to be part of this group. I had my surgery on Sept 29 and was ok at first. Thought I would cruise thru with no issues. No vomiting or nausea. Emotions tripped me up. Doc says I need to slow down. Trying. Shifted my work schedule to half days.

Welcome I to thought that this journey would be much different

the day after surgery I regret what I did cause I was in so much pain I said to myself what the hell did I just do. But I knew that I did the right thing for the long run and that what I did it for the long run the rest of my life . Yes the emotions are a trip

They go up and down all over the place but hang in there it gets better . I haven't gone back to work as yet still trying to deal with this new way of life Its been trying but I have no choice but to keep going forward still on soft foods and liquids clothes fit different thats a good

sign thus far. Hang in there it gets better . Ok

I'd love to join in a Skype (or text) buddy group! My sleeve date is 12/16 - exactly one month from today! I am so excited and nervous and scared, all at the same time, and it would be amazing to have other people to chat with who understand the conflicting emotions and the whole process. Please PM me for my Skype info if it's still open!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
