Feeling lonely

I am a newbie, thanks for letting me stalk!. Found out Monday, that my insurance improved my sleeve surgery and the date is 10/14. The pre-op is very difficult! I feel I am giving up my social life, and didn't realize how much my life centeres around going out with others with karaoke, eating dinner, parties, etc. How hard has it been for a lifestyle change for others?. Did not go with my karaoke group tonight, because did not want to to tempt my mouth, and I was fresh our of duct tape. Btw, I'm 56, married, my child is grown and settled in life. My weight is the one thing I have not conquered. Thanks for feedback in advance.

      I go out as much as I want. I eat out out at restaurants a couple times a week at least. It's all about choices and what you order. High Protein apps or Entrees. Share something with a friend. Tak

    Hi beach lizard. I am 61 married, with son 35 who has 3 children. Wt is the one thing I have not conquered. I am having 2nd thoughts and I don't have a date yet. I am anxious about the endoscope and colonoscopy procedure as well as the possible complications. Yet bottom line, I won't know if I don't try.

    Libby, both those procedures are a piece of cake. You close your eyes and it is OVER! The worst of the colonoscopy is the liquid you drink. Remember, millions have done that awful drink, lol! Good luck!
