Feel incredibly isolated post surgery

How far out are you? I'm still pre revision. But right after I got my lap band I felt that way. So many of our social interactions ate designed around food!

Don't worry. It's only temporary. Pretty soon you will be able to go out and be able to find something good on the menu. Just get used to always having a "doggie bag"! = )

Feel incredibly isolated post surgery

Dear Dude or Dudette

hope your recovery is going well, no major problems??

sorry you feel so lonely/alone

do you have a support group you can join???

they are great - you meet people in the same WLS situation

your NUT/surgeon can probably direct you to meetings

if you don't have a NUT - you can call your hospital (even if you didn't have surgery there)

explain you had WLS - and they "should" help you find a support group - point you in the right direction

people help each other - give suggestions, moral support

just like here, but you are one on one in a group

glad you joined here

ask your questions - or just come here to talk with someone

modestly speaking

we're ALL great!!!!

I'm in purée and I ask friends to go to breakfast places. I order a poached egg so I know it wasn't cooked in lard. It's worked great so far and my bill is like $1.00! Lol We are cheap dates now

I'm 20 days out, I didn't realize how much everything we did revolved around food.

Today is my 1 week post op and yesterday was missing Sunday eating out with the family.

Right, I don't regret having it done, it's just different making social plans right now. We always go to my BF parents for dinner that has to change, can't go for a drink or for coffee...I'm resorting to mini golf
