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?

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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
