I had surgery May 2,2012. I am almost 3 months post op. I was doing great. I have lost 43 lbs. Walking everyday and eating really healthy. Now I have lost it. I have nobody to walk with anymore. It seemed like everybody was supportive at first but recently nobody wants to walk with me and everybody around eats un healthy. My fiance acts like he don't care anymore if I do right or not. I have been depressed and not doing like I have been. i really need my encouragement back. This sucks!!

Great advice DLC, and great job Beth for standing up for yourself.

I haven't had my surgery yet..Aug 15th.

But I walk all the time. I have found that I can download books from the library website for free. I download them on my Ipod (but you can download them to your phone as well) and then I listen to them as I walk. It is a great companion when no one else is around to walk with you. Sometimes, I don't want to stop walking because I have a good book to listen to!

Wow thanks for sharing, I did not know that.

So i started the gym yesterday with my fiancée. I love it. We have done the treadmill, and elliptical, and stair climber.

Good for you . Dont wait for others when you can do for your self

We joined a gym and have met others just like me. It's a small world and we made some new friends.

DLC....excellent way to bring one back to self. As much as we all would love support, in the end WE have to love ourselves enough to get to goal

What an awesome support group we have right here at our fingertips. I for one, appreciate you all.

Great job at joining the gym beth!
