Dee~Dee 107 Posted November 26, 2016 Hello all!! Well my date is fast approaching (Dec. 6th) . I'm starting to wonder if having a surgery pal might be helpful to anyone or for myself. It appears that the change is going to be both physically and emotionally taxing, so I figure it wouldn't hurt to have someone available who relates step by step. We can swap some diet stages recipes... Maybe even be a workout partner in the near future. Anyone else have a date set early December? Are you in the ATL Georgia area? I would love to find a surgery buddy!!! Hope to hear from you soon. Sent from Dee~Dee via BariatricPal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sleeveisa 333 Posted November 26, 2016 Nice to hear back from you. I live in Hollywood fla, are you taking in all the liquids? Any cravings? I'm just happy I could eat popsicles, pudding, Jello. I plan to make my own Soup. I think I brought everything I need. I also brought stuff for reading on the sleeve. Keep on the good work and you will be fine.

For me when I had the dark days this forum and the people on it calmed my over active thoughts and took me back to a far happier place, for this I thank everyone who has helped. Don't forget you are definitely not alone on this journey to the new you. Good luck Sent from my HTC 10 using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N920A using the BariatricPal App Thanks... Im actually allowed the liquids and 1 small meal (3 oz meat, veggies) for dinner. But I'm craving everything!! Smh... My family keeps right on eating anything and everything they want. Its ok though, I'm learning a lot. I'm reading "The Emotional First + Aid Kit" by Cynthia Alexander. It's a pretty good book. Great to have the support! Sent from Dee~Dee via BariatricPal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

anndriar15 35 Posted November 27, 2016 Hello, I'm new to this forum, figured I'd join and have the opportunity to gain some friends who have been and are getting ready to go down the road on their Weight Loss Journey. I do live in the Atlanta Area, I have completed all the necessary steps for surgery, just currently waiting on a date from my doctor, which should be any day now. I'd love to join you and or a group of ladies on this journey. I have so many questions, plus my nervousness is taking over slightly. I pray to just find friends and encouragement.
