Curious as to how many are here DUE to breakups/divorces due to their surgery process. Very difficult now being with overweight partner who isn't on the same journey and doesn't understand.

Probably best not to work out together. He really sounds very controlling. “I don’t know how to get through to him”. Maybe you can’t get through to him. Maybe he isn’t up for you to “get through to him”. I started going to therapy as soon as I made the decision to have this surgery. I knew I wanted to reset my life & choose better for myself in every aspect. Physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually . They say while doing this surgery that you also have to do the head work. To me that’s just as important as losing the weight. Best of luck I have pretty much gotten to that point where I accept I cant get through to him. The head work is where I struggle with myself. Because in so many aspect of my life I have taken back control and am a whole new person with all new outlooks. But yet with him I cant overcome it. Maybe its the years of I guess you'd call it emotional abuse....idk but I am trying to focus on me and not letting his negativity invade my head space.

We have actually split and gotten back together a few times in the last year. Is it my fault at this point also....yes because I keep taking him back. Even with all my new gained self worth it is still hard. I try and stay positive about everything in life. Especially after surgery. I cherish each day now. It is just very hard. But I still put up with it. Maybe one day I will open my eyes. But idk.....its hard. I feel so stuck just due to financial reasons and family issues.

I have been A-Wall from here for a while but coming back I feel especially on this post I needed to update and get advice. I feel my partner is still very jealous of my progress due to comments made to me by male/female it does not matter. He is INSANLY jealous. And that only seems to getting worse. I try and push though and know I love him but its so hard at time. We have talked about working out together (weight training). But he is 6"2 300lbs and can def pull some weight. I am 5'7 155 and I DO NOT want to get big. Maybe tone up what I have and be more lean. Yes we can put together some routines but he does not listen to me about why I don't want to do some things and why I don't lift like him. why I don't stand a certain way. why I don't do this that and the other. Working out together yesterday at the gym all I could do was cry because he wouldn't listen to me. I don't know how to get through to him.....Def struggling to keep my cool. Stay motivated to stay at the gym. To stay in this relationship. I just don't know what to do.......

Think I am hitting a stall-ish period. Weight loss is def slowing and I need a kickstart to get it going again....any suggestions?

I wanted that extra tool of the dumping to be honest. I have been able to stay strictly sugar free since surgery and wouldn't want it any other way. I don't even try to push it to see what I can handle and what I cant. Not worth it to me to even try.
To me the sleeve doesn't stop you from eating what you would normally eat before surgery. So I could go right back to my bad habits once I was healed. NO THANKS! With the bypass you really cant do that with out FEELING IT!
Plus for me after surgery I DO NOT CRAVE THOSE BAD THINGS! I do have moments where I think I ate to much and I def feel my pouch yelling at me and I throw it up. Have had horrible gas pains with eating certain foods. But my lifestyle is working and I cant even imagine eating that "crap" I was before. It doesn't even smell good to me now.

I was hoping to see the scale move this past week but it was exactly the same. For the rest of that day it really messed with my head and made me feel all sorts of emotions. But didn't stop me still hitting the gym daily and sticking to what I know to do.
I thankfully haven't had issues with BM's. When I was drinking protein shakes I had horrible issues but now that I take all my protein in through my food and homemade protein shakes that my surgeon told me about I don't have any issues. That really sucks you have to deal with that. Really not a good time.

Yesssss! Freezing all the time! And this type of cold is different from even anything I felt before surgery. Bitter cold! Ice cold extremities!

Switching from surgeon to family doc?

Switching from surgeon to family doc?
AshMarie794 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
So..... My surgeon has decided he is moving out of state. I am post op 12 weeks. I haven't had any complications and have been doing great. He says I can get referred to another surgeon to continue my postoperative care but I am thinking on just want to go to my family doctor. She has been super supportive of my journey with bariatric surgery as her mother had RNY also. Would it be irresponsible of me to switch from a surgeon to my family doc? I can always be referred back out by her if down the road I hit some road blocks. Any advice? -

AshMarie794 replied to AshMarie794's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am just worried who I would be referred to. My surgeon is already over an hour from me I don't feel comfortable just going to anyone who hasn't even seen me or been involved in my journey. I am very torn and only have a month or so to figure out what I will do. -
Anyone repulsed by sugar now?
AshMarie794 replied to Sweettoothless's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
OMG YESSSSS! My hand is up and waving in the air like "pick me, pick me"! HAHA Sugar or ANYTHING sweet totally grosses me out! I guess that is a good thing but getting used to it did take a bit to get used to. And now trying to figure out what I like now and don't like took a lot of trial and error. A lot of people say don't you get tired of eating the same things. And in fact NO! When it tastes good and makes you feel good it doesn't get old. I crave it. -
Being sick after RNY?
AshMarie794 replied to AshMarie794's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I ended up on a steroid and two different antibiotics. I didn't notice any difference other than my arms and hands were tingly. Doc said it was from the steroid. Then a couple weeks later went on another two antibiotic's for a severe UTI. I didn't have any issue with those. -
How did your tummy and body respond to antibiotics after surgery? I have had a horrible cold that I am afraid has now turned into something worse. So later today I will be going to my primary and I will more than likely need antibiotics. Any suggestions of what has worked and what hasn't?
-
Same. I think it depends on you. I can eat natural sugars with zero issues. I think I've only had one dumping episode and I think it was caused from peanut butter. Which I have been able to tolerate UNTIL NOW.

These shakes, omg
AshMarie794 replied to Swanton_Bomb's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also had this issue and even almost 10 weeks out and I can NOT stomach any "artificial protein". After telling my surgeon this at my week post op apt he started having me make my own protein shakes. And till this day I eat my protein. I don't supplement at all and can get all of what I need in. Plus knowing what is going into my body really means a lot now. My taste buds totally changed after surgery. And that yucky taste in your mouth will go away as you start to eat real food again. I struggled with that too. The unflavored protein was the WORST! Look up my surgeon on YouTube , Dr. Matthew Weiner. He goes over the set point smoothies and you can get your protein in the natural way. They go down a lot easier and they aren't as heavy in your tummy. -
thick saliva anyone?
AshMarie794 replied to MADE IT 2 MY GOAL..OH YEAH's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had RNY and I also have this issue. But only when I throw up. If I notice something isn't settling in my tummy very well and I go to throw up I notice it is very thick. -
How long after surgery before you returned to work?
AshMarie794 replied to MikeIL's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also have a desk job and had RYN. I had my surgery on a Wednesday so I took obviously the rest of that week off and the following week. I didn't have any issues returning when I did. You may feel tired and still may be sore but not to the point it will interrupt your day.
