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! 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.
