Im New Here. Just Got My Surgery Date And Inhve Some Questions



Recommended Posts

Just found out my surgery is scheduled for May 10th! I'm so excited but scared too.

I have a couple of Questions for the ladies here...

Did any of you experience any major changes in your breasts? I have always been 'top heavy' even at a young age. I'm just wondering if that will change.

Also does your husband or parter treat you differently now that you're losing weight? My husband is amazing and I was far when we got married so I know he loves me anyway. I don't doubt him. I just wonder how they react to this 'new you'

Thanks in advance :)

I'm down only like 40 lbs since my surgery and haven't noticed any drastic change with my girls yet. (thankfully) I'm also 6'1" so my weight is really spread out. I think my boyfriend and I have been getting along a lot better. I feel more secure with myself and I think that makes him feel better about me...or I'm allowing him to show what he has always wanted to. Good luck with your surgery. Mine was a breeze...wish I would have done it sooner.

Hi there, Great question. I was wondering about the girls too... Mine are add on's and I am afraid I might have to go back in for an adjustment there. If I hit my goal I will look like a toothpick with olives on top! Its good to know you have a good support system. I do too. My husband is great and loved me fat so I know he will be happy to be with me healthy and more confident. I am getting banded on May 18th. Keep us posted and good luck! See you on the other side:)

My breasts have shrunk dramatically - yay! I have lost 60kg in 12 months and am thrilled with my progress.

On the relationship front, my husband is my greatest champion and it was comment from him that spurred me into WLS - he didn't want to be pushing me around in a wheelchair because I was too heavy to walk. And he wanted me around for a very long time.

Now he exercises with me, and even gets jealous if I get in a bike ride without him! Not only is our relationship better, but his cholesterol levels have also dropped, so I get to have him around for a long time, too.

I have noticed my butt and breast have changed :o . Really didn't want to lose the breast but I'm still happy. My husband is the greatest. He has been there through thick and thin and I mean that literary. LOL I think he is more affectionate now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
