I Think I Want A Wls Buddy- And I Don't Care Where From. Any Takers? :-)

[Justine13 264]

I wasn't sure why I would need a WLS buddy as I seem to have no problem navigating the system. But I think it would be nice to have someone walk this journey by my side. I just have one more NUT/PA appt and hope to be sleeved in September (should find out by the end of August the latest if it's approved). Anyone wanna be my pal? I tend to talk things through a question a lot. I also tend to want to post about personal things at times and then will delete. I think this is where a buddy will come in handy for me

I will be your buddy Justine. I think we are pretty much on the same timeline. I am hoping for end of August/Early September date.

[Justine13 264]

Okay, now what? Do we get little friendship braclets? I have not idea what to do next. And thank you!

[Justine13 264]

And how do you do that on your signature with all the things you have done thus far and then cross them out? I have no clue

[beachlover1129 22]

i will be your buddy also. I had my sleeve 5/17/12 but will still listen to your questions and any personal stuff you want to unload. To me so far the mental part of this is the hardest part. Plus I LOVE jewlery LOL

That's great! I just don't know what it means after this? Is there something I have to do or just know you guys are there to talk to?

[SleeveandRNYchica 1,155]

[beachlover1129 22]

[Justine13 264]

Okay sounds perfect. Thank you again for volunteering. How are you? Where are you at and how's it going for you?

I am always lookin for more weight loss buddies. I had my sleeve done on the 26th this month, so I'm a little ahead of you, but it's always nice to have support. As far as whether you wanna message back and forth, you're welcome to send me a message about anything you're thinking and we can chat or whatever. I'm a very open person, so I'm happy to answer/ask questions, listen to rants (I sure need to rant sometimes too =p), or just be a friend to lean on when it's tough.

[Justine13 264]

Awesome love it. That was this past week. how are you feeling?

[Izuri 428]

Overall, I'm feeling alright. I'm kind of learning the dos and don'ts for my body. I made the mistake of letting my brain be on autopilot just a little bit ago and tried to stand up from my chair without putting my hands on the armrests and pushing up - big mistake! I freaked for a second when I got an inch of the chair and fell back down with abdominal pain, but I think I just strained myself a bit and it's down to a normal level of pain now. Getting used to not being hungry is kind of strange. I was a big portion eater pre-surgery and now it's taking me about an hour to get down like 4oz of yogurt. It's different, but good. I'm having a bit of trouble getting all my Water in, but it's on my list of things to work on tomorrow =)

How many appointments have you had so far? Do they have you on a pre-op diet?

[Justine13 264]

Ouch~ I'll probably do something of the same OR I'll be a big baby and not try to do anything...ever I'm not pre op yet because I don't have a date. I'm sure I"ll find that all out on Aug 13. If I remember correctly- my doc doesn't make you do a long pre op. I want to say 24-48 hours? I already quit pop- not because I have a problem with it but rather to just demonstrate that I will follow doc's orders after. I haven't lost a thing- actually I gain every month so I'm doing those kinds of things to demonstrate that I will do this. My PA doesn't have any worries though.

Right now I'm trying to find the vitaimins/protein that I want. My NUT gave me samples of Celebrate (so I ordered more samples) and a sample of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Soup (I about puked at the smell of it and threw it out). I Liked the chocolate milk shake so I Plan to order that. I'm confused though as those shakes look like they have the muli Vitamins in those as well. I don't want to buy too many ----- UGH- I'll talk to my PA on the 13th.

[beachlover1129 22]

I am doing better daily. I am down 42 lbs from sw and 45 from hw. I have hit two stalls and both really messed with me mentally but they happen. It is really a mental thing for me because I am still so big and can only eat a small amount. Haven't started a regular exercise routine, everytime I start something seems to come up either an injury or having to work 12 hours a day a work. but I am loosing on average about 4lbs a week and I am wanting 15 a month so that is good. are you preparing for your surgery? what are you looking forward to?

[Justine13 264]

That sounds like a good loss to me?

I'm trying to prepare. I quit pop and........ I quit pop I am preparing with educating myself a lot. I'm slowly buying things I will need. My brain just knows I don't have to do anything right now which has not worked in my favor as I gain weight every month. Hence- I cannot wait for my very last visit. I can't do this anymore
