I NEED YOUR ADVICE!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi my sleeve family I need some advice. I met a wonderful person online about 3 months ago and we have been talking, texting and emailing but we have not met. We have exchanged photos and really have developed a friendship and a budding relationship. We will be meeting for the first time this weekend and I am very excited, but I am not sure if I should tell about my upcoming wls in November. I have shared everything about myself except that. What would you do in my situation? How should I handle this?

Hmmmmm, If it were me, I would at least wait to see how things progress after the first meeting. I wouldn't feel the need to tell them immediately. But if the relationship progresses further, then yes I would tell them. It's going to be a big part of your life and part of who you are. Hiding things in a relationship to some people is the same as lying, which would then possibly cause trust issues.

Good luck!

Just curious if this person is on the heavier side also. If so, it may be a great conversation piece and he might even get the sleeve too. Not only that but there are so many questions to ask yourself..... Like, Will he still be attracted to me when I'm thin, or vice verse. Will you be ok with him being heavier when you are thin and getting a lot of attention from other men?

You never know...Some of those questions can save you a lot of heartache in the long run.

I agree with telling at some point, November is a ways off so you have plenty of time to lead in to it. Regardless if the person is heavier or not, if they like a heavy woman then this could certainly change your relationship.

He is tall and slim, 6’3 about 240lbs, and yes loves a thick women. So I don’t know if this news is going to change the course of the relationship.

You might just want to start off with something like.... Hey I have a friend that had this done and was wondering what you thought about it....

Make it not so much about you at first to feel him out. Wouldn't it be great if he said " whatever makes you happy".

If he likes thick women, then I would definetely tell him asap. Because if that is one of his criteria you are not going to be that woman ever again after November :) And it might be better to find a man that will be willing to do the journey with you as you slim on down :rolleyes:

If he likes you, he will like you for what you are and not what you look like!

I personally have not told a sole (except hubby about mine) but I think I would if I were you. That way, if he is only interested in you for your looks, then you won't get hurt when you are skinny! LOL

If I could change anything about my life.... I would be honest with my man when I first met him. We have been together 25 years. .. and I still have secrets I can't reveal. Think about the future before you omit or lie.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
