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!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
