South Florida Buddy?



Recommended Posts

I am almost six months post op and down 75 lbs. I still have a long way to go and I am finding myself getting discouraged and loosing myself in this process. I would love to have a buddy who lives close but am willing to work with anyone. I am 26 and would prefer someone within my age group who can relate.

Thanks

There is a bariatric support group that meets at South Miami Hospital each month on the forth Thursday of the month. (Check SMH website) I have been going to it since before my surgery. Anyone can attend. Very open and lots of great support.

I am familiar with these I actually had my surgery done at South Miami so I do get the monthly newsletter about the meetings. I guess I thought I could do it alone and was a little apprehensive about attending them. I guess I should check it out this month. Thanks.

Hello to you both. I'm out near Weston and a little older but young in spirit. A mother of 2 young kids (13 and 9). I'm suppose to have my surgery done on August 10th. Could use a buddy or two. Especially when needing someone to chat, vent or get encouragement from.

Hi Ladies! I am now 10 months post op and down 91lbs. I am 26 married with no children but hope to have one on the way within the next year. Please feel free to message me anytime even at this point I need all the motivation and encouragement possible. It is a very long journey but as long as you have support you will overcome all obstacles.

      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! 😞
