Someone be my friend! 25/f/NY



Recommended Posts

Hey there. I looked on the forums for twenty something's and it was a ghost town! I just had my bypass 3/31 and I'm healing well. I'm looking for someone my age who would like to text updates and keep each other positive. I'd prefer someone in a similar stage of the surgery but I am open and truly just would love to make a connection with someone who is looking for something similar. Please respond or pm me. :)

Hi there, haven't had the bypass yet, I'm scheduled for 4/22... I too am looking for someone to connect with and get thru the many upcoming stages! I'm not too savy with the site yet, so add me if interested. Good luck! I'd love to know how your doing.

Hi bangbangbarbie,

I am 28/f/ny and scheduled for a VSG on May 1st. I am not quite at the same stage as you are post-op but would love to hear about your experience and possibly keep in touch along the way. Where abouts in NY are you and where did you have your surgery? How are you feeling now?

Hello friend,

If age is flexible I'll be your friend. I had my RNY April 2, and in stage 2 of recovery. While I will have a monthly support group meeting, sharing experiences with someone else will aid recovery. Meanwhile, my 2 cats are giving me daily support and will send some to you too.

Hey @@bangbangbarbie! Ya the 20-something forum is a ghost town! I'm 25, had my RnY on 03/26/15 and live in Ontario Canada. I know exactly what you're talking about, this is all a bit tricky to navigate and it is helpful having people who are going through the same thing. Feel free to drop me a line!

Hope you're doing well :)

I am a member of the May sleevers group and they have a very active private group on Facebook. Would that be a more convenient way for everyone to communicate? I would be more than happy to set something up if you all think so! There is zero way for anyone else to see that you are a member of the group :)

      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.
