Hello,

Im Rhonda. I am in Jacksonville Fl. I am married and have 3 children. 4,6, 12. My husband is in the military so i play single mama alot. I am looking for a mentor to chat with along my journey. I just started. I recently went to the seminar and have a date scheduled to talk to the financial person. ( Insurance will cover it all but its 1 of the steps) They say since i have Tricare prime i can be banded in 30 days or so. I didn't think it would be that fast. But i have my seatbelt on and ready for the ride. I am currently 260 and my goal weight is 140. My personal email is Rhonda435@att.net if anyone wants to chat. :thumbup:

You can ask someone to be your buddy on here and also email them. Sometime you have more personal questions you don't want to ask anyone but your buddy. Not only that but email is a great way to become more personal with your buddy and find out more about them.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
