New Member looking for support friends
Hi I am a new member to the site and looking for some friends who would be willing to encourage me as well as be encouraged. I live in Jacksonvlle area, but don't mind making friends in any part of FL. I will be having my surgery on Friday (May 4th), and would really like some advice on how to get thru the next two weeks of pure liquid.
Hi, I live just north of Jacksonville. How are you doing?

Good morning,
How are you doing, and how long have you been on this journey, and are you having difficult times with what to eat that doesn't bother your stomach?
I haven't been here in a while, but I'm doing well, I have lost a total of 59lbs I believe, if my calculations are correct, but now I feel as if I'm at a stand still. I still don't go to any support group meetings, and I feel that is so important in winning this weight loss battle.
I will make an effort to come here daily just for the encouragement, and support....
thanks for responding to me, I look forward to a growing friendship with you.

Hi Natasha,
it's nice to meet you, I would like to be a friend with you, we can walk this journey together, it doesn't matter what part of FL you're in, as Miami really isn't that far away....LOL.
I am into this for a few months now, and I find my hardest struggle is to find foods that doesn't bother my stomach,; it could be I'm eating the wrong foods, or I have a sensitive stomach, but I'm going to ask my doctor about that.
I've lost a total of 59lbs if my calculations are correct, but now I feel as if I'm at a stand still, which could be to lack of exercise. I have to get more of that in
!!!
I look forward to hearing from you, and know that we'll do this with great care.

Hi!! Thanks for replying. Did u have your surgery already? And dnt feel bad 59lbs is good dnt be discouraged. Keep pushin, and keep fighting. Do u believe in God? Ask him for strength. If your arent use to exercising it could be a challeng but u have to reframe, change your way of thinking. But you can do it!
Hi....
Yes I had my surgery on May 4th of this year.... it was a long process to get it scheduled, but it was worth the wait; I am not discouraged at this point, just amazed is more like it. Yes I do believe in God, He is my Salvation.
I know I have to evidentially get out there and start moving my feet one foot in front of the other; a co-worker of mine mentioned that she gets up and walk before work, I think that would work for me, because it's still early enough not to be too hot out for walking, and I could also take that time to watch the morning begin to come alive.

Good morning,
I'm so excited for you. I know you're excited as well....just focus on what is expected of you, and keep moving forward. I was anxious and excited all at the same time, when I had my first appt, and I was like "oh yea" I'm one step closer to my goal.
I had the gastric sleeve, I have been doing research for about the last three years, and found this one was what I felt would work best for me, and I'm not regretful at all. The weight comes off because I'm only allowed to eat so much, and I've notice that things I wanted to eat before surgery, my system won't allow me to eat now.
I have no desire for sweets, and trust me when I say I was a sweet tooth person, now I replace it with fresh fruit. I had to figure some things out on my own; like what foods my system would accept and which ones it won't, so I'm where I know what I can and can't eat now.
Make sure to have plenty of water on hand, and drink your protein shakes (they do make a difference).
