Age 23, NJ/NY, 1Y 9M Post-Op

Hi everybody,

My name is Angie and I'm new to this online support method. I'm looking for people my age with whom I could relate to and seek advice from with no judgement. I'm almost two years post op and have lost over 170 pounds. I actually dropped almost 10 pounds below my goal and have maintained it since my weight stabilized in September.

I’ve been fortunate enough to stick to a healthy eating regimen for almost two years now. But realistically it's not perfect, and believe me the struggle is never over. Besides seeking advice, I'm also here to give advice when needed. I love to cook and remake healthy renditions to recipes, and am more than happy to share.

I also struggle with depression and body image issues, and would love to connect and help others in similar situations. Feel free to contact me, I don't bite!

Hey Linda! I'd like to give you the warmest of welcome. Also, congratulations on starting this journey. Thank you girl, you'll be at your goal before you know it.

As for recipes, you can look up Bariatric Foodie. She's a guru on all things WLS including recipes. I also recommend Pinterest, or just google WLS friendly recipes. My suggestion is to get as creative as you can. Best of luck!
