Newbie Working Mom looking for a Buddy/Mentor - location not important



Recommended Posts

Anticipating a July 2013 surgery date. I work full-time and have children so would enjoy speaking to someone similarly situated about challenges in the workplace and at home. That being said, I do appreciate any and all input. To me it is more about connecting with someone with the same outlook and who wants some degree of mutual support and encouragement. It took me a long time to get here and I am really looking to make this a permanent, positive and healthy lifestyle change for me. Helping others is easy for me. Doing something for myself, where I have to ask for support, is trying. If anyone is using a co-active lifestyle coach for this process, I would love to hear how that has been working for you. To each person who took the time to read this posting, I wish you the best as you make your journey. Peace.

Hi! I am anticipating a July surgery date as well. I also work full-time, but only have one child....he's a Senior, so will be graduating and starting college in the fall. However, I would love to buddy up, if you'd like too:)

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
