Hello I'm 31 years old and due to have sleeve gastrectomy on Jan 20th. I would love to have new friends pre or post bariatric surgery on my fitness Pal 😊

    I wanna get bariatric surgery too!! I am 26, 5’5”, and 280 pounds. I have tried everything to lose weight and nothing works for me. :( I am really scared about surgery but I feel like it’s my only option at this point :(

    I'm searching for more friends too. I had the sleeve procedure 11/09/22. I lost some weight to qualify, then of course on the pre op diet too, so total I am down 47lbs (27lbs since surgery) Id love to answer any questions you have

    I got RNY 12/20/22! I would love friends! MFP hates my calorie totals per day but I am within my office recommendations. Let's support each other.

    Hey Everyone! Currently in prep mode to get the final approval from the bariatric team at my hospital. I am excited/nervous to be on this journey. But I'm 50 pounds down from when I started so I'm feeling motivated! Would love to have friends on this same journey too!

    Hi everyone - I'm Steve, from Massachusetts. Two weeks post op - Sleeve. Was 335 morning of surgery, this morning weighed in at 316.8. Welcome any new friends who send me a request. This is a new journey for me, but it's one I am going to get the most out of. Short term goal is 60, ltg is 135 - yes, I want to see 199 again. Long way off from now though.
