Sarah M. 19 Posted November 24, 2018 Im still single and i think I should date someone who is going in the same path so we can easly get along and support each other, [emoji4]my family loves me so much and I do love them back and they are my priority but I feel like they are having difficulty in understanding what kind of support I need pre and post op. Specifically dite and food control wise. Ive struggled long enough with overweight but am now more scared to be alone in this journey. I wish I can find my other me somewhere nearby [emoji56] Sent from my SM-N950F using BariatricPal mobile app 1 clsumrall reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orchids&Dragons 9,047 Posted November 24, 2018 Don't forget to check out any support group meetings in your area! 4 Sarah M., FluffyChix, clsumrall and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jazzy1125 1,010 Posted November 24, 2018 I agree, try and find a local support group. While being single is one thing, friends can support too. I am also single, but right now my main focus is on myself and sticking to the plan so I can get through it without having to worry about what somebody else might think 3 Sarah M., FluffyChix and Biddy zz 🏳️🌈 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
llhill 72 Posted November 24, 2018 Sarah you can do this and you will be able to do this and do it successfully. This site has been so informational and inspiring to me. You are not alone period. My family loves me but did not understand why I had the surgery and after 5 weeks, they still don't. During your good days and bad days there are so many folks on this forum who can relate to what you are going through and will be able to provide you with some great suggestions and nuggets to help you to focus on your journey. I also understand you wanting to have someone nearby, but folks here are just a quick text/conversation away too! Again, you are not alone! 2 Wanda247 and Sarah M. reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orchids&Dragons 9,047 Posted November 25, 2018 Just now, Sarah M. said: If I only knew where I wouldn't be posting online searching for it. Sent from my SM-N950F using BariatricPal mobile app Just call any of the local hospitals. They will tell you if they host support meetings. In my area, all the meetings are open; it doesn't matter where you had surgery. Good luck! 2 Wanda247 and Sarah M. reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frustr8 7,886 Posted December 17, 2018 And Mr "Just waiting and oraying" could be at that meeting, maybe if not him, his mama, his Aunt. There is somebody for you, don't fish in the polluted waters of townhouses and bars, you don't want a " bottom feeder" when you deserve a smooth sleek Rainbow Trout in your life! Go for it, You Do Deserve The Best!😝🍀😝 1 Sarah M. reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
