Looking for buddy and/or mentor - sleeved 12/7/2016 :D

[Ashley Wright 14]

I'm being sleeved on Dec. 7th (just a few days away!). I would love to have a buddy that is being sleeved around that time or has been sleeved recently that can help make the transition easier by having someone to chat with. I'm also open to having a mentor who has gone through it and can help me with some of the problems or questions I may have.

I live in Minneapolis, Minn., right now. I work from home as well, which gets a bit lonely and I know going through this transition without having the distraction of work and co-workers sounds difficult

Thanks everyone!

Hey! I was sleeved on 11/28! I was kind of looking for a buddy too! How are you doing?

I also work from home too! I get the lonely! I am 30 years old, female and live in Tampa, Florida! Let's be friends!

How has your recovery been and the first week of post-op?

Hi Ladies! I would love to join you on this journey. My surgery will be on Dec 19th. Today is day 1 of post of diet.

[Ashley Wright 14]

@@y0lis Yes! The first few days of pre-op diet were rough for me. SO hungry, but it got easier and I now live off of sugar free popsicles LOL.

I meant to say pre-op diet sorry ladies! My diet allows me to have 2 shakes and 1 small meal so I picked up some Weight Watchers Meals and I think I goofed I just had one with Pasta and it has 38 grams of carbs. I won't be doing that again! I am ok so far day one started with a bang and my cycle to top it off. I had my shake this morning and so glad I can have Decaf coffee trying to load up on my Water intake to be nice and hydrated. It's so nice that you work from home I get to every now and then so I made sure to stock up with things here at work. I have a question did you practice on eating and drinking to prepare for the surgery? I try to chew things and count to 30 but it is hard!! And as for sipping and not gulping that is even harder for me I down a 16oz bottle of Water in 2 drinks (if I really want to). I have a couple of weeks to get ready so I will continue to chew chew chew and sip sip sip!! This day is half way over! Have a wonderful day ladies!

I can't be much of a mentor (sleeved 10/26/2016), but almost through the reintroduction diet phase. I'd be pleased to answer any questions based on my recently having gone through it.

I am being sleeved December 7, 2016 also. I would love to have someone to help me out too.

I just got my sleeve on December 20th. My main struggle 4 days out is extreme fatigue and hunger. I am craving real food and am so sick of popsicles and Gatorade at this point. I really hope my hunger calms down soon.
