I had my surgery last Aug. I would love to be a buddy to you if you would want me to be. I had a great experience and maybe could answer some of your post op questions. Happy to help if you want me to. Thanks. Or any questions at all.

Well, I wanted to update you. Last week was a hard one, my very best friend suddenly passed away. Besides being totally lost and confused my first inclination was to just eat anything I wanted to. My stress reliever. But then I thought about my friend Pat and knew she would not want me to do that. She and my husband along with other friends have been super supportive and in my own way I didn't want to let her down. Sound weird? I am handicapped and Pat and my husband always said we are all going to ride bikes one day, Pat was heavy but not to the degree I was. So, I got past the urge to just stuff my face and stay on track. On weigh in day at my house I actually lost 5 more pounds. I was sooo happy. Still long way to go but each little step forward is a victory. How are you doing? Things going well I hope. Please keep me posted on you.

Yeah of course let's be buddies lol how much weight have u lost since August and over time do you notice your food intake getting larger or has it stayed the same since your sleeve? Sent from my SM-G928T using the BariatricPal App

I would love to be a buddy. I too had the sleeve done in Aug 2016. I have signed up for other buddies but I never could find their questions or responses, I would really enjoy it because I notice we are about in the same weight bracket, except I was a lot heavier than you at the time of surgery. So, if you don't mind me flopping around looking for your posts I would be really happy to be your buddy. Let me know. Have a good one.

Glad you are feeling better.

What are you consuming to lose 2 pounds. Im averaging 1.5

Great news. I do not have to wait 3 months. Final appointment 3/22 hopefully revision in April

Hi. I'm kjcatchings1957. I'm in need of a support buddy too. I was sleeved on 11/11/15. So far I've lost 45 lbs. I'm a "slow loser" but that's fine with me. I'll have a better long-term outcome by losing weight more slowly and I'll have less loose skin. What do you say? Can we be buddies? Congratulations on your amazing journey into a new, exciting, healthier way of living!

I did Premier Protein . they tasted great and I lost over 10 lbs.

I did the Premier Protein chocolate and still drink it at least once a day if not more. I just figured out how this sites posting works so I hope you don't think I was ignoring you. Your food tastes do change, or I should say mine did. I used to eat a ton of ice, all blood work was fine, no low Iron, I used to eat a ton of pepper on everything and now hardly none. Changed from loving home made vegetable Soup to eh, it's ok. But you might not do this. It is all individual my doctor told me.I am excited for you, you are already doing it and you will be very happy when it start coming off, which is right away.You are going to do great. My doctor even repaired a huge hiatel hernia I never knew I had and my recovery was still right on schedule. I loved my doctor, in fact I see him this coming Friday for my 6 month check up. I hope he is as pleased as I am.
I hope this is helping you.

I did 2 week pre op diet and did it with Premier shakes. I was surprised at how easy it was for me. I was determined to go to surgery. I was lucky, the shakes held me. I was to drink 5-6 a day. I still drink at least one a day with my up cal in it Sometimes I drink more if I get really hungry. Very happy with my results.

I love the Sam's club premier premade shakes

I just had my sleeve done Aug. 30 th and it is wonderful. Post surgical pain was next to nothing and he had to repair a huge hiatel hernia doing surgery. I am totally new to this site and am not sure exactly how it works but I would love to get involved so I have someone to talk to about it when I have concerns. Hope my commenting is ok being new and everything. Congratulation! You will do great!

Congratulations! You're doing it!!!! And prayers to your son and family. I am brand new to this site but I had to congratulate you. I know how proud you must be.

I just got my surgery date 3/23....
