Mid 30s still struggling

[MissaKitten 2]

I started my journey for the idea of a bariatric surgery back in December 2016. I quit drinking soda beginning in January, and I've recently hit a plateau I don't get much if any support from my family, and I don't really have any close friends. Looking for some support groups/friends that would motivate me, and be eager to share with me.

Happy Friday! I am so sorry you don't get much support from family or friends. I honestly don't either. I have become my own motivation. I hit plateaus a LOT. I just keep pushing forward. I will have setbacks where I will stop and maintain/gain a few pounds for a couple of weeks and then I get angry I let myself fall back. I think the main thing that works for me is thinking of all the things I want to do, clothes I want to wear, wearing a bikini to the beach (maybe...) lol just thinking of the future motivates me.

Feel free to reach out to me anytime Have a wonderful weekend.

I'm sorry you are without support. I was pretty out in the open about everything on my end. I'm 6 months post op and it has its ups and downs. For me, it was the best decision of my life. I'm down 108 lbs from my highest weight a few years ago and 67 since surgery. It isn't easy, though. My hormones are a mess and I'm still trying to find out a good balance with calories, etc. However, it IS worth it. Hang in there. You can do this.
