Seeking buddy/mentor is Salt Lake City, UT

[Magic Mojo 34]

My surgery was on April 8, 2015. It would be great to have someone nearby to share successes and challenges.

I'm 62, married, liberal, smart and witty. Let me know if interested

I will be your buddy/friend. My surgery is May 6th.

Ok. So Nov_kisses, what's your story? I had my surgery Apr 8th, so am almost 2 weeks in. I get tired easy. Am finding out what food works and what does not. I don't get to drink Protein drinks. Our doctor wants us to eat real food, and only 2 oz at a time. My little pouch, the size of a walnut can not handle mor of that at a time. It is odd, but I am doing it. I was working for a company that I didn't like (accountant) and so I quit, made the appointment for the surgery and here I am. Once I feel like I have the details of this new life down (the food, the Snacks, the regular exercise) I will think about going back to work. For now I am just focusing on the new me. Nice for me. Am grateful to my husband. And curious to see what comes next.

Hoping to her from you. I would love to have a walking buddy. Or someone to hang out with once in a while who has gone through this. I live in the Sugar House area. I am aware that meeting strangers in person is edgy. We can meet at a library or something first time. Let me know.

Meanwhile there is a good book about weight loss surgery written by a woman from OGDEN. Well written memoir and clever, and very honest. You will learn a lot and give you plenty to think about before your surgery. I read it in a few days as an e book. It's called Stranger Here by Jen Larsen.
