Getting support while being single



Recommended Posts

Looks like this is an older kind of extinct group but hoping some others will help me resurrect it. Hard being single & doing this alone. Don't have any friends or family who have gone thru or can relate. My surgery is 2/7/2017. Can't get here fast enough. Anyone else out there?!

I am single after my surgery but pretty much did it alone before that. Wish you the best in upcoming surgery. Just take it one day at a time & focus on goals for that day. If there is any questions I can help you with going through it, let me know. It is harder not having support with you at home especially. I had my surgery on 09/19/16. Available if ever need to talk. You got this. :) I still feel it was the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Me. Although I imagine it could be a bit easier for us long term. No one demanding their own meals we can't eat, no one keeping their junk food in our kitchens, no having to smell someone else's food. While the first few days of dropping off/picking up/care might be tricky, the rest sounds better to me!

I had to come home to a cleaned out home and had to move back to NC from Florida. It has its bonuses. It's like starting totally over. And generally I'm doing good. Working hard, and feeling better than I have in years. I'm paying my bills and spending time with my daughter. I had a great Christmas with her. But I spent New Years alone. I had friends invite me over, but I don't want to be the 3rd wheel. Not to mention I like having someone to spend time with. So there are good and bad points to being single. Oh...I started in late June, my first weigh in was 406.7. My RNY was on Sept. 6th, 2016. I was 376 that day. I have lost 143.3 lbs. At 263.4 lbs as of today.

I was single. I however had the support of a few friends that I told who helped me along the way staying at the hospital & coming by & buying things. Without them i think I would of been miserable

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
