Looking for some "buddies" in forum . . .

[Robin Weinrich 6]

Hello All! This is my first post here. I've been reading various posts around all the forum topics for about a month now and appreciate all the sharing. However, I'm feeling really overwhelmed by the number of posts/forums, etc. I would love it if someone could either direct me to a small group of some sort or stick with some folks over the next few months. My surgery is schedule for Nov 30 and will be the sleeve. While I'm well versed on so much of this process, I still need feedback and to hear from others. I know this is a necessary step to regain my health, but it does make me a little nervous.

Thanks so much!

Robin W.

Welcome! I go through this forum now since I haven't undergone surgery yet. If you look at the right side of the screen under Recent Topics you will see a short list of topics recently posted. If something looks interesting you can read and reply. I'd be happy to be your buddy but I'm far behind you since I just started my pre-op appointments and won't likely have surgery until perhaps next summer. You could post something saying you're looking for those having surgery in November and then follow those people?

I'm having surgery on the b 24th of this month...I've read books, attended support group, been here and my team is great. I don't know how much I can help since I'm not a veteran but I'm willing to be a support

Hi, I'm having my surgery on the 24th as well. I'm in my preop diet stage. Have you tried many liquids or have you just stuck with the Protein shakes and Water?

My surgery date is November 30th too, but I'm getting the bypass.

I start my pre op Monday and I'm allowed 3-4 Protein Shakes a day, pkus no fat broths, sugar free popsicles and Jello tea drinks. I plan on utilizing everything except Jello. I'm insulin dependent diabetics so they are concerned about hypo attacks but we have a plan in place.
