Hey guys I am looking for a email, text, or in person weightloss buddy, I need someone who is very strong and can help me stay on track. I have to admit i have gotten all off track,my focus has gone out the window, I been stressed for some time now, But i'm ready to get back on track. I had my surgery 02/2010.. I was so overweight i lost 130 pounds to this date. Looking to lose 100-110 pounds. So guys and gals if you wanna chat with me hit me up soon.

Wow, it does sound like we have mu*****ommon.  Awl, I wish I could move my surgery.  I am supposed to be there at 8:30 and under at 10:30a and that is going to be a drill with getting my sitter to tend over the kids. My ex does not know I am having it done -- better that he not know......he will get gets from sitter at 2p and bring them back to me next day -- meanwhile, I hope I have a girlfriend who will get me (I have no family in town) and then I will be home next day.  I had a friend who had sleeve 2 years ago - she said it was the best thing she ever did.  I was 206 at my preop appt/consult with doc. How come you have to go back to doc again? Wow, and you are just starting diet -- then I dont' feel so bad for being guilty over the weekend. What do you have to eat?  Can you believe we are in the same facility - wow, awesome....
Yea, I posted a pic -- but I was a good 65lbs smaller then I think. and not yet thinking we were divorcing.....AHHH!  I hung in there this past year a half for my kids sake -- while he has conveniently lived with his mother stringing me along giving me false hope.  Ahhhhh was I fool -- I am sure he is still cheating!~!!! 
The one thing my girlfriend told me -- was to visit this site - and that the surgery was the best thing she ever did after marrying her hubby! That is some pretty strong language. And then my hairdresser sis-in-law had it and she had a great experience with the sleeve also. I did not want to bypass -- because that re-routes things, and the lapband was putting something foreign into your body and you have to keep going back to doc for tightening etc.  This made the most sense. I have been up and down 50 lbs my entire life -- and I am sick of the yo yo
Like you I want a brow lift and breast lift or something after this -- If I am going to every remarry and have another life -- I got to look my best -- and no one is going to want me the way I am now -- plus, I firmly believe cancer and all that disease is related to what we eat -- so a lifestyle change has to start now.  The one thing good about the sleeve -- you have that piece of cake - you will however, only want one piece though - and it will be up to us to make sure we use that small amount we can eat to be the most nutritious thing for our bodies.  I dont want to be malnurished........How do you like your doc?  Are you self paying or going through insurance?  My doc says the self-pays *(like me) go through Forest medical.....
Preop today was a breeze -- an ekg which took 60 seconds, and some blood work.  What are you having to go through?
So glad we found one another -- it makes it so much better being able to have someone to bounce things off of.........who has time to read blogs all night long!!!! :o)
Hope the protein drink dinner is awesome....
I am having some grilled scallops...I have already had 50g of protein today.......and once a day I can have a lean meat of some sort -- high in protein....
Talk to you soon,
Kelley

Hi Lisa,  How are you doing today!!!!
Awesome!  Where are you having your procedure?  I am at Forest Medical @ Central and Forest.  Do you like your doc?  Facility? Are you staying one or two nights?  Great, now we have someone to bounce off things too.  I am excited.  I had my pre-op today.  That was the "easy part".  Are you on a pre-op diet. I have been on one and had a few slips up but doing ok.  I have lost only 5 lbs since my last visit with doc.  I am focused on it this week for sure -- 9 days to go should make a great difference if I obey.  Its hard though - my preop is mostly high protein and very little carbs.  They wanted me on it for 14 days but its rough.  I never had so much protein in all my life!!!!  The protein certainly fills you up though. I am getting a bit nervous too.  I have two young kids and not sure how the recouping period will go.  I have been separated from my hubby for almost 1 1/2 year now, the divorce will hopefully be final soon - so I am treating myself and doing this for many reasons......looking forward to hearing from you , I will try and post my pic and upload it today -- it just makes me nervous putting myself out there -- but now that I have a penpal -- all the better ........
