sam1016 10 Posted January 14, 2016 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:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A New KK 104 Posted January 14, 2016 I'm much older (56) but I was 305 when I started. It's been almost 2 months and I'm down over 50 lbs (have stopped weighing myself because I was getting crazy thinking I was losing too slow). My family and husband have been very supportive but I've found even with that it's only my journey and almost feel pressured because they are trying too hard to help. Going out to dinner with family is stressful because they all are trying to find something I can eat. One meal I didn't see anything I wanted and my husband told me I was just being difficult. If you want to be buddies, I'm here. Good Luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

futurecrna08 6 Posted January 15, 2016 Hey! I'm 26 soon to be 27. I'm around 344 and plan on getting sleeved this summer. My mom is semi supportive and I have a couple of out of state friends that are supportive. My boyfriend on the other hand isn't really. But I plan to get my surgery in Mexico... I didn't meet my insurance requirements to have surgery here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RoadToMe 28 Posted January 29, 2016 Hi Sam! I'm almost 26, started this process at 348, currently 9 days post op, and am familiar with the same depression and food addictions. And heads up, they don't go away after surgery. ???? Well, at least not a week after. I'm here if you want to talk. To make this not entirely depressing, I'll share this bit of exciting information.. At my one week post op weigh-in, I was down 17lbs from my surgery day!???????? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
