Getting support while being single



Recommended Posts

Looks like this is an older kind of extinct group but hoping some others will help me resurrect it. Hard being single & doing this alone. Don't have any friends or family who have gone thru or can relate. My surgery is 2/7/2017. Can't get here fast enough. Anyone else out there?!

I am single after my surgery but pretty much did it alone before that. Wish you the best in upcoming surgery. Just take it one day at a time & focus on goals for that day. If there is any questions I can help you with going through it, let me know. It is harder not having support with you at home especially. I had my surgery on 09/19/16. Available if ever need to talk. You got this. :) I still feel it was the best thing I have ever done for myself.

Me. Although I imagine it could be a bit easier for us long term. No one demanding their own meals we can't eat, no one keeping their junk food in our kitchens, no having to smell someone else's food. While the first few days of dropping off/picking up/care might be tricky, the rest sounds better to me!

I had to come home to a cleaned out home and had to move back to NC from Florida. It has its bonuses. It's like starting totally over. And generally I'm doing good. Working hard, and feeling better than I have in years. I'm paying my bills and spending time with my daughter. I had a great Christmas with her. But I spent New Years alone. I had friends invite me over, but I don't want to be the 3rd wheel. Not to mention I like having someone to spend time with. So there are good and bad points to being single. Oh...I started in late June, my first weigh in was 406.7. My RNY was on Sept. 6th, 2016. I was 376 that day. I have lost 143.3 lbs. At 263.4 lbs as of today.

I was single. I however had the support of a few friends that I told who helped me along the way staying at the hospital & coming by & buying things. Without them i think I would of been miserable

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
