New and looking for a buddy!



Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

i dont know if I am doing this right or not. I am a bit challenged when it comes to message boards!

I am being banded day after tomorrow Janaury 14th. i would love to have a buddy to share things with! This site is great. Once i figure it out I'll probably never get off the computer (LOL)!

I'm going to try and make me one of those ticker things now.

Can you tell I can't sleep? It's 4am and I am nervous/excited/anxious,etc. :smile:

grateful for a 2nd chance to start living life again!

Good luck to everyone!

i was more excited than nervious. i like my doctor and she was very nice. but every thing went good and all the hospital staff were great. i had to spend the night there. it was a requirement of the doctor.if yu want to add the new year's knockouts to your signature just right click on it and go to edit signature. and paste. good luck with your surgery.but it will be fine

Hi Lola,

I'm being banded on 15th. Happy to be a buddy if you are interested. I'm in Australia. I am 32 and have about 40 kilos/88pounds to lose. I'm excited, but getting a little nervous.

Good luck tomorrow,

Jen

Hey Lori,

I too am being banded on Monday the 14th, and I know what you mean by being nervous. Saturday night I woke up at 4:30 and could not go back to sleep. My surgery is at 7am so that is good, I won't have a lot of time to think about it.

Good Luck tomorrow, let us know how it goes!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
