I'm looking for friends on here and support. I offer the same in return. We can cheer each other on, provide helpful tips, etc.

I'm a 38 yr old mom of 2 with chronic back pain (bulging, torn and herniated discs), and psoriatic arthritis. I'm hoping this surgery and the weight loss will help pain and if I still need back surgery it will make that recovery much easier. I'm 5'7" and over 300lbs.

I've been working to get approved for surgery since fall. I lost 42 lbs during my pre op journey. I'm excited, nervous, scared, feeling alone (like others around me don't understand). I have been using this app to help keep me on track for almost 200 days. And friends with similar situations and diets would help.

Add me if you need support, a new friend or are willing to offer advice.

Thank you! Good luck to everyone!

    I am getting ready to have my last round of appointments October 7th and then my surgeons office can send my case off to insurance for approval. They are guesstimating my surgery will be early-mid November. I'm also a mom of 2 (13 & 11), 5'7" and 329.6# as of this AM.
