You can always write to me, I usually check this site twice a day, if I'm not out of town. I was sleeved on 12/3/14, and am down 55 lbs, and I am 53. You can message me by clicking on my logo, if you want. So far you've done the best thing you can do for your body, and that is give it a future! Good luck to you!

Hey I don't know if you are still looking for a buddy, but I would love to talk. I could really use some support and would love a friend to talk to. I am having my surgery on June 1st. My husband isn't overweight so although he is sympathetic, he doesn't really get it. I am 27 years old and, like you I would only really be comfortable with a female buddy. please let me know if you still want to talk.

Hey so I am from CT. Sorry I am still trying to figure out how to work this app! Anyway I am really excited and nervous and could use some guidance. I was wondering if fruit was ok to eat (once you can have food again). I know you have to keep carbs limited but I really like to put fruit in my Protein Shakes and stuff. There is a lot more that I want to know!!!! I hope you are doing well and had an easy recovery and I look forward to getting to know you.

Sure anytime

Thanks so much! I would love to pick your brain sometime.

Hello,

We are similar in a lot of ways .

I am 36 years old and I had my surgery a month after you on

4/14/2015.

My goal is to also lose between 130 and 140 pounds .

It has been just about two months and I have lost about 43 pounds .

I had a stall that lasted two weeks and it drove me crazy!!

Although losing that much weight in such a short time is great but I was so worried that I wouldn't lose any more .

But thank goodness the stall has passed .

I live in California and have a 16 year old daughter and am divorced .

I am a stay at home mom and would love to have a weight loss buddy.

If you are interested it would be great to hear from you.

Stephanie :)

It isn’t too late. Your stomach has stretched from over eating, this is why you’ve regained the weight. But you still can lose weight if you set your mind to it. Stick to a diet and remind yourself that you were given a second chance at life, don’t waste it. Good luck!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • 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
