Former RNY regained - looking for email/ IM friends

I'm in SE Ohio, I'm soon to be 31 yo mother of 3. I had RNY surgery in late 2005... I lost a good amount of weight, but since have had another kid and gained back almost all what I lost. Been really down on myself, I don't even mention the surgery to people anymore because it's embarrassing, I feel like a failure.

Other health issues I have are herniated disks in my neck and back and nerve pain. Migraines. Possible sleep apnea. Stress, depression, and anxiety. IBS. And at times my stomach won't empty. 

But I've got to do something, I need to get back on track and try to lose some of this weight. I'll never be skinny, I just want to be a more normal size and healthier and in better shape to be able to do things with the kids... etc.

Mostly looking for an email/ chat IM buddy that I can talk to about everything from weight loss to recipes, exercise, just things going on in our lives, maybe kids if you have any. 

So if you're interested get back to me, not sure if you can leave IM or email info on here. But let me know.

Thanks

Jen

I am in NE Ohio, 31 year old married, no kids.

I am in search of the same thing. Someone going through similar experiences, frustrations and milestones! I had RNY gastric bypass in Sept 2011. I need someone that i can email, instant message,text etc.  that understands and would be willing to help one another.

Hello, I'm in Richmond, VA. 37 with two kids. I had RNY in 2005 as well and have gain back a good amount as well. Mainly after I got pregnant with my second child 18 months after my RNY. I'm looking for a support buddy/pen pal or whatever. It looks like we have a lot in common. Feel free to write me back. :-)

My IM is jeroldLwelch on yahoo or your can email me anytime. I had Gastric done December 2012

I would love to be your penpal. I too have regained some weight and I need support badly. Starting over is hard alone!

Available most days if you want to contact me. Will reply and try to give support and encouragement as often as you like. 

Hi I'm Sandra. I'm 30 years old and I am above 300lbs. However...I have lost 45 already...and looking to lose A LOT more.

I currently live in Fresno California (about 3 hours from LA) and I am looking for buddies to work out with. I have a friend who lives in South Carolina and every day we would text message each other our work outs. Well unfortunately she had a tragic loss in her family and she no longer has the momentum. Although I am doing everything I can for her and she KNOWS I will be here for her when she's ready, I want to continue my workouts.

Because of the awesomeness that we have started...I realized via cell phone (APP, so no phone numbers are exchanged) I am able to work out with whoever wants to exercise. So that is why I'm here. I already have a group started...but its REEEEEEEEALLY SLOW. My goal is to have 2 or 3 workouts posted each day.

All of this will make more sense if you check out the link below. It is a local womens only group, but I am able to extend the WORKOUT version (vs personal in town meetups) to those far and wide. Its free, easy, and innovative so if you want to just at least check it out let me know ok! =)

PS: I'm looking for people who will actually POST workouts...vs join and never do anything :P
Its a motivational mobile group. Check it out....btw this is not spam.. !
