Looking for buddy-surgery May 9th

This is my first post but I've been lurking since September. I'd love to find a buddy with similar stats to go through this journey with. A little about me:

Surgery date: May 9th 2016

Pre Op diest starts: April 18th (3 weeks of having to eat foods I purchase from my doctor)

Current weight: 324lbs and 5'9"

Age: 38 female

Location: Columbus, Ohio

Surgeon: Dr Curry

 

I've been married 10 years and have one daughter who is almost 16. I've always had trouble sticking to "diets" and end up putting more weight on than I started with. I'm a picky eater and always had trouble trying new things but I'm working on changing that now. Some things I don't like to eat are seafood, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms and yogurt. My biggest downfall are carbs. I have trouble getting water in on a daily basis. I have a gym membership that hasn't been used for a long time. I'm currently seeing a therapist to deal with my eating issues, depression, low self esteem and anxiety. 

 

I'm excited, scared and anxious for my surgery. I don't have any friends who've been through this and know I will need someone who can relate with what I'm going through. 

 

Hoping to make some friends.

Hi Beth nice to meet you!  I'm scheduled for April 25th.   I'm 41 years old, and 5'8 (used to be 5'9 - I lost an inch somewhere!) and 337 lbs.  I'd enjoy getting to know you more, send me a PM.

Hi!  I'm 8 days away from my surgery and with a similar starting weight of 315 for my highest. I am on here reading the boards daily.  It has helped me a lot.
