Back On Track Together Buddy!

I had my gastric sleeve in Oct. 2010, lost 130 lbs then some of my cir****tances changed and I let myself slip. I gained back 55lbs  but have lost 12 since Jan. 2nd. I live in mid Michigan outside a small town nobody has ever heard of. 20 miles northeast of Greenville and 25 miles southwest of Mt Pleasant. I sure could use a buddy. I do have some limitations to my exercise as I have Parkinson's disease but I'm trying.  

Sorry forgot to say my name. Kathy.

Hi Kathy.  Did you ever get a reply, or are you still in need of a buddy?

Hello there fellow BOTT's!

I am Monique and I am in the SF Bay Area and would love a buddy for conversation, accountability and exercise. I am just more than 2 years out from a VSG and am completely out of control but am striving to get back on track.

Hello Monique,

I am a newbie in the SF Bay Area - had VSG 06/10/13. I have tried so many diets my whole life which always failed. This surgery feels like a miracle right now (even tho I've stalled). But I know I am a carb addict - indulged in a small portion of bread and before I knew it, had eaten the whole piece - and that only a month after surgery! So I am really concerned about staying on track. My NUT says I shouldn't ever eat bread again.

I need something, not satisfied with no carbs. But seem to do all right (ie not triggering craves) if I stick with the less-processed items: beans, corn tortillas, corn meal products, potatoes, whole grains: quinoa, oats, rye krisp (NUT says not allowed to have rice anymore (sad)).

How are you doing? Do you think about triggers too? I would love to be a talk buddy if you are still interested.

Hey Paula!

We are two peas in a pod! I was on track having lost 126 pounds, down from a 24 to a 12 in 9 months.  I was just starting my second phase whi*****luded eliminating triggers and a half marathon.  My family and job were biggies for me as triggers.  So I quit my job and decided to return to school and then I decided to move away to the middle of the country. The last day arrived and I was taking the last box from my apartment when my mom fell and broke her leg.

Long story short, she died two weeks later leaving me with two kids (special needs) to care for now. I almost got away. I remember eating those first few chips...been down hill ever since.  I am gaining rapidly while trying to get my life back on track.  

But each day is a new day....

Anita, have you found a buddy? I also want to lose 10-20lbs and I also want to drown myself in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory if I had a choice in how I'd pass away from this life.

I am addict and that's all there is to it.

I am 31 and h ad my RNY in 2007 and I live in Colorado.
