Looking for a March 24 surgery buddy



Recommended Posts

I've been reading a lot of posts about people who are supporting each other as surgery date buddies. I think that's such a great idea and thought I'd try to find one too.

A little about myself:

I'm a 51 year old, mother of 6 (yours, mine & ours family). Have 2 amazing grandchildren and a wonderfully supportive hubby. We live in northern Alberta, Canada. My husband is originally from eastern Oregon so we travel back and forth a lot.

I started my WLS journey in January 2014 and have worked with dieticians, exercise therapist, councillor and doctor. I was approved for surgery in May 2014 and have been patiently waiting for this surgery date. Ok, maybe not patiently! Lol

I'm not expecting a perfect match just someone who might be able to relate to the struggle of balancing this procedure with family and work life.

More about me: lol kinda relevant and can't believe I forgot!

My start weight was 258 and I've lost 18 pounds so far. Have high cholesterol, crazy high blood pressure (both controlled with meds) and arthritis. Cannot wait to feel healthy again and perhaps take less pills everyday ????

Hi there - I am from New York State (Buffalo area) and my surgery is scheduled for March 17th - A Surgery Buddy sounds like a fantastic idea if you haven't found one yet or if you have would like another. :-)

More info: Chicago native, 36, blending family of 4 kids, and a mom, tax accountant. Bright bubbly personality but completely freaked out about the speed in which my ordeal is taking. Emotionally all over the place for the next two weeks!

So I found a March Sleeve 2014 group. I wonder if I made a 2015 group and spread the word on here, if anyone would join ????

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
