first, no picture of yourself & no profile details= no response/ reply. hi there! i'm 49yo, intell., widowed at age 33 & single, childfree by choice, army brat and former new yorker & don't drive (uber user) , non smoker (respiratory issues & can't be around it), no pets, not a drinker and after 42 long years of battling & failing at weight loss, coupled with an under developed thyroid (i'll still have to take meds for that for rest of my life) & was agoraphobic for 4/ 5 years twice in my life, i was approved for and had gastric bypass procedure in feb. 2018. i'd researched all procedures since 1996, did numerous q & as of surgeons- patients- nutritionists and i wanted to know the good/ not so good & the indifferent. this wasn't easy and was hard work pre-op and post-op. the work never stops. but the "tool" has helped tremendously. pre-op i had bone loss & still do now so i use a light weight cane for stability & balance, but my surgeon ok'd me recently for the gym. i just started my gym membership on june 6th, 2019, and i go bowling to exercise & keep healthy not to keep score. and will restart my aqua therapy in late fall/ early winter. my food regimen is very high in proteins/ dark leafy greens & salads/ copious amounts of water and plant based protein mixes (i'm allergic to whey & egg protein mixes and to shellfish & grapefruit). i've lost a lot & have much more to lose. i'm hoping to make new, genuine, non s----l platonic friends aged 38-55 (ladies & gents) in northeastern ohio (mahoning or trumbull co. region pls.) for pleasant conversations (i'm not a recipe swapper. sorry. lol), possibly very early morning gym workouts- coffee/ tea, and for morning bowling get togethers if we're near ea. other. all in all, i sincerely wish you success in your quest in whatever your personal goals are: both on & off the scale.
