Support buddy needed!



Recommended Posts

Hey! I'm a 20 year old female recently sleeved. I'm sorta going through this alone and it sucks so much not to have anyone understand or even be willing to understand/help out. I would love to have a support buddy to text daily and exchange details, recipes, struggles, and ideas with. Anyone willing to get to know me?

I would love to take part in this discussion. I am getting sleeved tomorrow!! I am so nervous I am on my second day of only liquids. I think The hardest part for me will be not eating the way I'm used to. I think I dreamed about eating a hamburger last night! I know I'm going to need all the help/support I can get!

I live in Atlanta Georgia and my name is Ashlee.

Hello I would love to have a buddy or buddies to share with , i was sleeved on Oct, 27th 2014. I have no one to really share with and I would be delighted to have a daily chat with buddies and to share ideas it would make my journey so much easier, I started my journey about 250 and right now am 220 . I would like to see the weight to go down some more, I can see a difference in clothes so maybe inches, I don't know, I go back to my dr, the end of the month, and to the dietician also. I am in Maine and anyone please write, thanks so much. Always Donna also Mammysm@aol.com I will be anxiously waiting. God Bless

To add to my recent post, I had a reversion from the lapband to the sleeve. as you can see I did have a lapband in 2006 and now it has been removed, I feel much better now with the sleeve. Donna

Hey everyone! I was sleeping and New Years Eve. Looks like there were a lot of us at the end of the year. I am fortunate, in that I have 3 family members who have had some sort of WLS. One is my ex sister in law and she's a nurse so she has given me lots of support and information. I also have two daughters in law who are nurses. So I have a great auxiliary medical team. But having people who are at the same stage as me would be great. My name is Kim and I live in Kansas. Otherwise known as bfe.????

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
