I have been on here about a week or so and made some posts and everyone has been wonderful made me feel supported and extremely helpful

But I would like to find a friend that is willing to chat with me , support each other when needed cause I swear if I had a friend yesterday maybe I wouldn't have let my emotions get the best of me. But today is a new day and I understand that everyday can't be perfect .. you have to pick yourself up and try again .. so here I am !!

I want this year to be different I am head strong and I can accomplish what I want , but I do need someone to keep my focused now and again. Cause it's not easy to say no to a easy way of making yourself feel better And I'm willing to do the same ..

I will tell you a little about myself

I am barely starting out I'm going through the kaiser Fremont I have been to one class the weightloss surgery overview.. I am scheduled for the co-Bariatric orientation class on the 12th of this month. I am married 13 years today 2 girls and live in Modesto .. I am geeky, outgoing at times and antisocial others.. I am a emotional eater..

I'm hoping someone will read this and wanna be my friend.

I just love this app. Surgery make us all different. In my opinion. We really have nobody to relate to. And it can be hard at times even with having our significant others. They may be there for us, but they don't fully understand what we really go through. I am about 8 weeks out of surgery, was sleeved on 10/21/16. My fiance still doesn't understand all of it. But is still supportive lol

I get the whole "You don't look like you weigh that much" and what not. It took a lot for me to do the surgery. It was suggested by 2 different doctors in 2 different states that I get it done. I suffer from 7 different headaches and Migraines and on tons of meds so I am really hoping this helps! So far I am down almost 35lbs

I know that one. But the Drs blame the weight even though I explain to them I was getting them when I was skinny. Plus I sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, and tons of other health problems. So we will see

I've been quite moody lol my surgery was 7 weeks ago and the surgeon told my boyfriend that after 3 months I should be better, if not it's just me. Lol

I was the same way. I noticed I was very moody and very emotional! It's not so bad now.

I'm glad I'm not the only one. I mean my boyfriend will try to help and I find myself getting angry with him. Saying things like you don't care and this isn't like me. Hope it goes away soon!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
