Emotional support buddy needed



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone I'm scheduled for my surgery June 1st and I'm terrified. I've lost large amount amounts of weight on my own before through militant exercise and Portion Control but my biggest hurdle has been and will always be the emotional eating. I know that the surgery is not going to help me with that so I'm reaching out for help from someone else. If anyone would be willing to help me I I'd greatly appreciate it.

Well, first off , congratulations on your big step to the new you!

I had my Sleeve done April 13 2016 and I found the surgery is the easiest part! . Not that post op is difficult or painful but different. I too was an emotional eater and now I fill that void with other hobbies. I have been known to stare at the food and just not want it. . I surf Pinterest and day dream of the recipes

Use the beginning when your body does not want food to find your support for when you have an emotional eating desire. That's what I am learning to do now as well. I'm knitting or going to support group.

What state are you in? I'm in Texas. Good Luck and if you don't already have a support, I highly recommend getting one. But I'm always up for a chat . Best of luck with your surgery, you're going to do great!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
