This is my second day on this app and so far I really like it! I need friends! With logging and support and motivation would be so great! If anyone wants to know my story, I'm very open. Chat soon I hope!

    Thank you Jodyfit13! Well, I was diagnosed with a chronic pain disease that pretty much put my active life on hold. In turn over the years I gained an extra 100lbs. I finally took the plunge and had stomach surgery in April. I've already lost a little over 60lbs since then. It is very hard to keep motivated bc of the pain. Some days I just can't get out of bed. So, yes I am trying to find friends that not only have had bariatric surgery but some that are understanding and great motivators and inspire me. I really miss my life of working going to school playing sports and being active. Life has slowed to a crawl fore and am only 33. This has been going on since about 2008 now. Help! :-)

    While I am not in the same situation as you, I am preparing for gastric and would love a community filled with people in the same journey. Mind if I join the thread?
