Met someone before surgery



Recommended Posts

My surgery is April 10th and I have met someone he asked me to Celebrate his birthday on April 13th. He is also a nurse like me. I hadn't planned to share my special event with him until I knew he was someone I wanted to share that with. I want to stay honest but not sure if I want to share this with him at this time. Any advice?

Honesty is best, and also hardest. Better to be honest now than trying to maintain some lie. If he's a quality human being, he'll be supportive. If he's not, then you don't need him around anyway, right?

If you like him it's best to be honest and tell him before hand. If he doesn't support you then he isn't right for you.

Thank you ladies. I have a channel on YouTube and I talk about this journey I decided to have him look at my video blog. He took it better then I could imagine. He said he knows the psychological effect this surgery could have on a person and he would be there to support me through it. Very sweet man.

Great news! Even though my bf and I have been together for 2 years it took him a bit of talking to be ok with the whole thing...I still think he doesn't understand how big of a change it will be..he doesn't care that he's fat so I'm hoping he will still help and respect my life style change

      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.
