"need A Buddy/mentor"



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone :behindsofa:

I'm Jodie, aged 27 and from Sydney, Australia.

I live with my fiance and do shift work (graveyard) in a call centre (sitting on my butt all night).

I have surgery in 5 days and I need a buddy cause I find when i have encouragement it keeps me on track a bit better.

I would guess and say i need to lose 180 pounds (I hope that's do-able)

I would love someone who has been successful in losing a similar ammount of weight.

Anyway thanks for reading :grouphug:

Jodie or Jodes :thumbup:

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
