Support buddy needed!

Hey! I'm a 20 year old female recently sleeved. I'm sorta going through this alone and it sucks so much not to have anyone understand or even be willing to understand/help out. I would love to have a support buddy to text daily and exchange details, recipes, struggles, and ideas with. Anyone willing to get to know me?

I am! I get sleeved in two days and would love to have a buddy. While I am no where near 20, I am open, caring, ridiculous, and mostly optimistic. Send me a message if you are interested. I live in Southern California. Paula

Hello I would love to have a buddy or buddies to share with , i was sleeved on Oct, 27th 2014. I have no one to really share with and I would be delighted to have a daily chat with buddies and to share ideas it would make my journey so much easier, I started my journey about 250 and right now am 220 . I would like to see the weight to go down some more, I can see a difference in clothes so maybe inches, I don't know, I go back to my dr, the end of the month, and to the dietician also. I am in Maine and anyone please write, thanks so much. Always Donna also Mammysm@aol.com I will be anxiously waiting. God Bless

To add to my recent post, I had a reversion from the lapband to the sleeve. as you can see I did have a lapband in 2006 and now it has been removed, I feel much better now with the sleeve. Donna

I would like a phone support grop maybe like a whattsapp group on the smart phone to share ideas

Hey everyone! I was sleeping and New Years Eve. Looks like there were a lot of us at the end of the year. I am fortunate, in that I have 3 family members who have had some sort of WLS. One is my ex sister in law and she's a nurse so she has given me lots of support and information. I also have two daughters in law who are nurses. So I have a great auxiliary medical team. But having people who are at the same stage as me would be great. My name is Kim and I live in Kansas. Otherwise known as bfe.????

Okay, I guess I was sleeping while I was sleeved. I'm doing this on my smart phone and can't figure out how to edit these posts. Also, would anyone be interested in skyping?

Ladies I was sleeved Monday and on full Protein liquids but can't seem to swallow another protein drink. Please help. I live in Michigan

I'm three weeks post op. Do you have a protein drink you like or haven't you found one yet? Are you also drinking broth? Special K has a drink (kind of like Crystal light) but it also contains protein. Add them to your water to get some protein in. Good luck,

Paula
