Hi Im Michelle,

Im still trying to figure the website. I was curious if there is anyone in the Bay Area that would be interested in being support buddies. Im just starting my journey and need to lose weight before the scheduling of the date, I just would like to have someone to touch base with and possibly someone going thru and has been thru the same. I struggle with food as we all do. Hope everyone has a great day!

Michelle

Hi Michelle, my name is Karen.

I am wondering if you have found anyone to be your support buddy? I also have to lose some weight before I can get a date for surgery. I've been trying for about 6 months. But I've been on a roller coaster. Well if you still need a buddy please let me know. We can talk if you'd like. Thanks Karen.

Hi Karen, how are you? I'm still in the lose before they make a date. I believe I need somewhere between 13 and 15 lbs to lose. How long have you been on the program. Would love to keep in touch. Talk to you later.

That's great! Well this is my third time being in the program. First 2 times I chickened out. I was scared to have all the excess skin, and others I knew gained all their weight back. This time I have a grandson I would love to do more things with and want to be around longer with him. so I'm having trouble with my WL because I've gone through a lot and have trouble with the stress eating. my daughter's father had decided to leave after 23 yrs, and I made a poor choice on quiting a job I loved. Due to some issues. So I've been working on the depression issues. To get my WL back on track I had been 15 lbs away of getting a date but gained it back. So I'm starting again with the wl. I do have a sister that has done the sleeve but she really doesn't say much of anything to me except oh you'll feel a lot better after you get your surgery. Doesn't really seem to want to help. So I am just trying to reach out and talk with others that are doing good. and try to get some of what works for them. How they stay with it. I know I want a healthier lifestyle for me. I just need to take time for myself. and not worry about everyone else. Well sorry for rambling on. It's felt good to have been able to talk to someone else and hear they are doing good on their journey. So keep up the good work and hit your first goal for a date. And please let me know when you find it out. Would love to hear about your progress. To inspire me to do the same.

Thanks again

Karen

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
