Looking for buddy

Hello all.. I am new to all of this and started the process of paper work, insurance, blah blah no date set yet. I am 27, 379lbs and totally depressed with a serious food addiction. I am looking for a friend who understands I have family members who are supportive but none who are as over weight as me or had surgery. My

Husband is boarder line supportive and I don't have friends who understand in real life. Please contact

I'm much older (56) but I was 305 when I started. It's been almost 2 months and I'm down over 50 lbs (have stopped weighing myself because I was getting crazy thinking I was losing too slow). My family and husband have been very supportive but I've found even with that it's only my journey and almost feel pressured because they are trying too hard to help. Going out to dinner with family is stressful because they all are trying to find something I can eat. One meal I didn't see anything I wanted and my husband told me I was just being difficult. If you want to be buddies, I'm here. Good Luck.

Hey! I'm 26 soon to be 27. I'm around 344 and plan on getting sleeved this summer. My mom is semi supportive and I have a couple of out of state friends that are supportive. My boyfriend on the other hand isn't really. But I plan to get my surgery in Mexico... I didn't meet my insurance requirements to have surgery here.

Hi Sam! I'm almost 26, started this process at 348, currently 9 days post op, and am familiar with the same depression and food addictions. And heads up, they don't go away after surgery. ???? Well, at least not a week after. I'm here if you want to talk.

To make this not entirely depressing, I'll share this bit of exciting information.. At my one week post op weigh-in, I was down 17lbs from my surgery day!????????

I am at 350 and so nervous to start - I have no idea what to expect and so grateful to be on this journey. I would love to make some buddies who are going through the same thing.

Its hard to find people near my age at 23.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
