My husband and I were talking about the surgery and he said "soon you will only have to worry about loose skin"

I said, I think I may have a little on my stomach if any (I'm 235 now preop)

Then he says to me "well you have a lot on your back" ...meaning fat!

I thought to myself, ok so he thinks I'm going to have loose skin in my back!!!

Or was this his last dig he will be able to get in, before I lose weight.

Whatever! I was upset for awhile but I just thought... It will be gone soon! (Surgery 1/24)

I'm sorry you had to hear that. People don't realize how sensitive a topic ones body is, and you really find out what people thought or think of your body and how you eat as you lose weight. Even those closest to us can be a bit insensitive when they think they're being helpful. I hope all turns out well during and after your surgery :)

I hate to say it, but he may be feeling a little insecure about how you'll look down the track. Good luck with your surgery.

I was 246 pre op I dont have that problem I am at 186 now. So don't let what he said bother you. Do what you need to do for you. My husband said something about me being fat before I even considered this surgery. It hurt my feelings so I called and went to dr and had the surgery

And for the record, my back fat disappeared quickly!! That's the 2nd place my weight loss showed (after my face).

I HATE BACK FAT!!! I am still on the long road to approval...but if and when I have this surgery, saying goodbye to back fat will not come soon enough! I also hate the side boob....I hope that will go away with little to no extra skin, but my skin is on the thin side there. I just hope it can bounce back! Will have to look into a good firming skin lotion!

My room mate calls me a fat ass to this day and I'm almost 50 pounds down. I know he's insecure about how amazing and confident I look and feel but it still bothers me.

O I hate my back fat! That is one of the main things i pray goes quick. Now I have been having dreams about the loose skin...I hope that does not become a big issue for me. I am gonna work out as soon as I can. Does anyone know if some sort of compression garmet would help in our shrinkage?

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
