Hi everyone, I started at 322lbs a few months ago. had the Billo Pancreatic Diversion on the 29th of October ans so far I have lost quite a bit. I struggle with the soft diet and some depression of not having food as a comfort. Looking for friends that is either before, in or done with their journey. Bianca0

I think that’s pretty normal! It’s a big change, but with time you will find a new way to cope (exercise, art, writing etc) and one day you will have a new normal

Hey there! Sleever here, I had the sleeve done in June '18, already down 100lbs. If anyone wants to hang out and cheer each other on, send me a friend request.
You gotta click their username to bring up their profile, then tap their picture, and tap the icon of two people on the right side of the screen. That will bring up the friend request message box.JourneyToWorlds wrote: »I can’t figure out how to add people anymore...

Hello! My surgery was 10/15/15. I have VSG. I lost 165lbs. I've had some regain, lots of excuses behind it, lol, but working diligently to get my *kitten* back together!
I'm on MFP all day Mon-Th while at work and happy to answer questions.
@minca1920 now I have to research your procedure! I think that's a revision of friend of mine had, but not sure!
Good luck to all!1 -

I went back to work in Feb of this year, and have steadily put on about 3/4 pound a week. I'm back on MFP, cutting the carbs and alcohol, and determined to lose. I feel awful, and look worse. Built myself a standing desk yesterday, and am committed to using it.

Feel free to add me. I had gastric sleeve 8/2017. I have a bout 30 more pounds to lose. I have been about the same weight for the past year with a lot of serious health challenges for my son. I am ready to kick it and get the last part off.

Hi Everyone. I'm back. I had VSG in 2014 & a revision to RNY in 2018. I had severe complications and required 3 surgeries in 4 days due to a blood clot in my small intestin and then 2 days later I had an obstructed bowel. I barely survived the trauma. It left me with a large incisional hernia and a wound infection. I was in the hospital for a month. I really don't want to talk about it at all anymore. Today is a new day and I am back. Looking for a friend or two who is understanding. I'm not here to answer a lot of questions about what I went through. I trying to start all over again today. I hope to meet a friend or two that is understanding of the complications and a buddy for support.3

The future will be bright for you. Leave the complications behind. As you move forward stay focused because "YOU CAN DO IT!!"0 -

I would add you but I dont know how. ( pretend i am making a sad face). Ive restarted on mfp about two weeks ago. have been inputting my food evefyday and weight weekly i think. The first time I started MFP all I did was put in my weight and didn't know how to use or add food and whatnot....My weight graph looks like I lost 63 pounds in one day.....0 -

VERY GOOD! I am post op GB since December 20th 2017. Have lost 73 pounds but I got off track and stalled for 6 months. WLS truly is a tool. You HAVE to work it which I am currently doing. Have lost 10 pounds in the last 3 weeks with the assistance of Intermittent Fasting.1
