Any buddies in Victoria Australia

Hey guys!

Starting weight: 160kg
Surgery weight:150kg
Current weight as of 8th of March: 138kg

Height 164cm

I am new to this site, so i will start with a little about me. I am currently a 24 year old student in Victoria Australia. I am completing my Bachelor of Engineering (Civil & Structural) and looking for either work experience or a job (It's so hard to find a job).

The main reason i decided to have a gastric sleeve was that i wanted something better for my life. from experiences of other people on other non-weight and weight related problems i knew that my weight was not helping me with life in general. I wish i made this decision earlier in my life. other reasons include:

• felt like i was being looked at in public for my weight. I would sweat a lot and it would be really embarrassing so i would wear jumpers to hide the sweat even though it was hot.
• hard to make new friends (even though everyone i am friends with say i am one of the best friends they have ever had)
• hard to be taken serious with job interviews. since i am entering professional working environment i wanted to be respected
• Always been single and i am ready for a relationship. I want to be serious and in the future have children before i reach an age that makes it hard for me to play with my kids.
• wanted to get back into sport. absolutely love my sport, played heaps when i was young. Even though i was overweight i was fit for my size.

that's just a few reasons, Im sure many people are exactly the same and more!

I am currently 4 weeks post op and everything is going fine apart from when i eat too quick. then my stomach rejects the food and up it comes! Not a good feeling! But on the bright side of things i am losing weight, clothes are beginning to become loose by the day and i feel more energetic.

I am currently looking for a buddy/buddies to enjoy the journey with, through the highs and lows. It would be amazing to have someone you can go to that understands what you are going through! I am lucky to have two of the most caring parents in the world who care a lot about me but sometimes its too much! (they are italian and they are always over the top, I don't like being annoyed haha). Anyway i think that is all from me. if anyone else is looking for a buddy please tell me about you and your experience/s

Thanks
