Looking for buddy



Recommended Posts

I'm 24, HW 280, CW 270, 5'5''. Waiting for insurance approval, hopefully sleeved by end of April, initial consult was in September.

Recommend the group Sassy Sleevers on Facebook, lot of good people on there and lots of support.

Hello all.. I am new to all of this and started the process of paper work, insurance, blah blah no date set yet. I am 27, 379lbs and totally depressed with a serious food addiction. I am looking for a friend who understands I have family members who are supportive but none who are as over weight as me or had surgery. My

Husband is boarder line supportive and I don't have friends who understand in real life. Please contact

Me if you are open to becoming weight loss buddies:)

hello, I would love to be weight loss buddies, I don't have a lot of people to talk to who understand how important this surgery is to me.

      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.
