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!

      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.
