Unsupportive Partner?
wannalise replied to BigLoser's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My guy has been supportive, but is scared. He knows that a big portion of what we do as a couple revolves around food, and he also seems to have a good understanding that this will be emotionally difficult for me and he will get to deal w/ my cranky butt. Hang in there and utilize the supports you have here and if you have additional supports through your surgery center dive in. I also know that my surgery center offered some supports to spouses as well. As much as you want this to be your journey it will definitely affect those around you as well. Good luck! -
I'm so sorry. I have no advice just cyberhugs sent your way. Sounds like with all you do life would be exhausting even consuming normal amounts of calories. You rock!
-
YAY!!!!! I want you to keep us posted. This is such exciting news. What is your preop diet?
-
I am so excited! Surgery is three weeks for tomorrow. I keep looking at everyone's weight loss tickers and getting soooooooooooo excited. Thanks for all the motivation!

I got the bariatric advantage chewables after I looked at the vitamin comparison spreadsheet, that I don't remember who posted and they are not too shabby. I would recommend something other than their mint calcium losenges however, they are terrrible!

Introducing new foods too fast??
wannalise replied to pnw218's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Tiff, Since you have seen it all and done so much research can you explain to me what types of acid reducers I will need. Also post op friends, I've been told to bring gas x strips to the hospital w/ me? Is this for the burping, or all the air from the laproscopy? Just wondering. Anna -
Christy, Where are you having your surgery?
-
Hi! I was just reading all your posts up until your surgery. I'm headed to Dr. Aceves at the end of this month and would love to visit with you. I am going alone and am so worried about the travel day home! My Mom is super worried about me going alone, but is so terrified of flying that she can't join me.

My pcp had never heard of the sleeve either, but when explained to her, especially that I could have similar results to the bypass without the risks of malabsorption she was incredibly supportive. Good luck!

wannalise posted a topic in The Gals' Room
This is not weight loss related this is me freaking out and I don't know what to do about it. I have been dating my boyfriend for over two years, we are Mormon which typically means dating is VERY short and then people get hitched, but thankfully that hasn't been the case with us, however, we have been talking about getting married for seven months I don't understand what we are waiting for. I feel so annoyed. I feel like my life is in limbo and that I have no say about what happens next. I'm pissed! Talk me down ladies. -

wannalise replied to wannalise's topic in The Gals' Room
Yeah, he gets to deal with all my crazy and is does so with so much grace and love. I am very blessed to have him in my life and blessed that he is wise enough to step back and support me in my dreams. -
Thought I was off my month long plateau- turns out I am not!
wannalise replied to filodough's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know advice from a preop probably isn't helpful, but maybe now is a time to focus on all the NSV and stay off the scale until you can see some victories else where as well. I've been tracking your progress and I admire you! Its great that you being proactive, but you will get there. Thanks for posting. -
I am on my second day of no diet coke! I am making it. I go back and forth between being really proud, to moments where I feel like a three year old and I wanna stomp my feet. This is just the first step of harder things to come, but it is also so excited to be walking in the right direction.

Laura I could really use these. Let me know how to contact you and make arrangements. Thanks, Anna

wannalise replied to wannalise's topic in The Gals' Room
Well once again thanks all! I had an excellent chat with Tiffy and Hershey as well. I finally sat down with my man and talked and he was so together and healthy about the whole thing. He says he feels like he wants to marry me this year, but he also is aware that he has made huge life changes, I am about to embark on huge changes and he wants to be a support to me and feels like we should let some of the dust clear and then focus on our future together. So.....apparently I ended up with a wise fellow. Thanks all! -

wannalise replied to wannalise's topic in The Gals' Room
You are all so great! I'm 31 so not a spring chicken as far as relationships. I appreciate the advice, and today I'm newly focused on me. I do have loads of work to do on my mind, body, and spirit, and today that is what I can control. -
6.5 post-op story and pictures!
wannalise replied to alegna242's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Good for you!!! You look amazing and it sounds like your outlook has been the thing that has transformed the most. I know the feeling of dreading things like summer, its such a gift to you, your kids, and your spouse that you are able to be the real you instead of the girl trapped inside. I can't wait!!!! Congrats! Anna -
Yay for you! I am so excited to hear from my future sleeve sisters. Keep us posted and know that we are looking forward to hearing all the ups and downs and being a support to you. Best of luck you are in my thoughts. Anna

Hey fellow March sleevers. I am scheduled for Mar 25th with Dr. Aceves. I have ordered a bunch of the products as suggested on theworldaccordingtoeggface.com, she has been a VERY successful RNY patient and now blogs, she has loads of recipes for a variety of protein shakes, etc. I am so excited to get going!!!!
