People Looking For Mentors.



Recommended Posts

Please keep in mind, we are not getting paid from anyone to help. I've posted countless times offering my help, many have responded, but seems they have vanished again or have given up on my help. So I think it's time I stop offering help, can't keep wasting my time.

I'm more then happy to help anyone, but seems I get some real winners. .. one had surgery, never told husband, and then was getting surgery to remove flab, how the hell are you going to explain that? Another doesn't want to talk about band or eating habits, people, what do you want me or anyone offering help to do? I can't come hold your hand, cook for you, adjust band,be a mentor with benefits, etc. This is getting really silly.

Is there a forum/section on this site for mentor help? Is a mentor someone who has already reached goal?

Maybe now is a great tome for us to start a forum with some ground rules or guidelines? I for one would live a mentor as I go through my journey. Oh and I am "normal"...ha ha ha...

God Bless You! Julie

Thanks that would be great! 160 lbs. Are you still losing? Or maintaining or both? Any complications that go with the territory?

God Bless You! Julie

I am looking for a mentor. I was banded a year ago and lost about 50 lbs and stopped. I'm ready to work hard and get this weight off. Feel free to email me justneufeld@gmail.com

Maybe it is finding a mentor / mentee with the right fit.

I would love help but I would need a mentor that includes regular exercise. Also, I am not at my best under 1200 calories a day so if someone were to say that I need to consume less I would say that that wasn't an option. I would rather spend two hours in the gym than cut my calories lower than 1200. Now, you want to talk about better options for those calories then that is great.

See, just from reading I know there are many people on here that would not be the right fit.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
