Instagram Support Groups (Non-Facebook groups)



Recommended Posts

Doesn’t anyone follow helpful support pages or people on Instagram covering their weight loss surgery journey? I had a sleeve to rny revision 3 weeks ago and would love to follow some folks on Instagram since I don’t have Facebook and don’t want to create an account.

If you’re active on Instagram please feel free to share your @ and any suggested Instagram accounts you follow/find helpful. Thanks!

I hadn't thought of that. I follow a girl on YouTube that lost 70 lbs doing Weight Watchers because I'm doing it now. She didn't have WLS though. I'm not on FB either. Or Instagram, but I'm thinking about joining.

I say join! So far I just look up hashtags like #wlscommunity #rny #wls etc. I want to connect with people for support. Single during a pandemic can fell isolating. I mostly work, workout and meal prep my 2 ounce containers.

I followed several bloggers who are in remission after Anorexia Nervosa. I think it helped me to take an example from those who cope with it every day, just like me. But then things got worse for me. So it's much more comfortable to watch videos in Tick Tock, where many girls with different figures show their diet or useful daily rituals. It's calming. I also created such an account. My face is not there, but I show my food and workouts. I put on a face mask. With socialboosting.com I've raised my popularity and account views, so you'll find me by my nickname. It's the same as here. Girls, YOU ARE STRONG!

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
