Surgery sleeve buddy needed ATL?



Recommended Posts

Hello all!! Well my date is fast approaching (Dec. 6th) . I'm starting to wonder if having a surgery pal might be helpful to anyone or for myself. It appears that the change is going to be both physically and emotionally taxing, so I figure it wouldn't hurt to have someone available who relates step by step. We can swap some diet stages recipes... Maybe even be a workout partner in the near future. Anyone else have a date set early December? Are you in the ATL Georgia area? I would love to find a surgery buddy!!! Hope to hear from you soon.

Thanks for responding. The closer it gets the more my nerves are getting the best. Ive started my pre op diet already.. Its rough! I'm hanging in there though. Im originally from FL (Tampa Bay) myself born and raised. I moved to ATL about 4 years ago. What part are you in?

Nice to hear back from you. I live in Hollywood fla, are you taking in all the liquids? Any cravings? I'm just happy I could eat popsicles, pudding, Jello. I plan to make my own Soup. I think I brought everything I need. I also brought stuff for reading on the sleeve. Keep on the good work and you will be fine.

I am even further away in the UK, BUT we are all here to support each other. For me when I had the dark days this forum and the people on it calmed my over active thoughts and took me back to a far happier place, for this I thank everyone who has helped. Don't forget you are definitely not alone on this journey to the new you. Good luck

Thanks... Im actually allowed the liquids and 1 small meal (3 oz meat, veggies) for dinner. But I'm craving everything!! Smh... My family keeps right on eating anything and everything they want. Its ok though, I'm learning a lot. I'm reading "The Emotional First + Aid Kit" by Cynthia Alexander. It's a pretty good book. Great to have the support!

My surgery date is December 7, and I live in Marietta, Ga. I am currently grappling with the headaches and diarrhea that the liquid diet is causing, How are you doing with your liquid diet?

Hello, I'm new to this forum, figured I'd join and have the opportunity to gain some friends who have been and are getting ready to go down the road on their Weight Loss Journey. I do live in the Atlanta Area, I have completed all the necessary steps for surgery, just currently waiting on a date from my doctor, which should be any day now. I'd love to join you and or a group of ladies on this journey. I have so many questions, plus my nervousness is taking over slightly. I pray to just find friends and encouragement.

Thanks A Bunch

      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!!
