Fixerupper 335 Posted April 28, 2013 How far out are you? I'm still pre revision. But right after I got my lap band I felt that way. So many of our social interactions ate designed around food! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
melodymouse 196 Posted April 28, 2013 Don't worry. It's only temporary. Pretty soon you will be able to go out and be able to find something good on the menu. Just get used to always having a "doggie bag"! = ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted April 28, 2013 Feel incredibly isolated post surgery Dear Dude or Dudette hope your recovery is going well, no major problems?? sorry you feel so lonely/alone do you have a support group you can join??? they are great - you meet people in the same WLS situation your NUT/surgeon can probably direct you to meetings if you don't have a NUT - you can call your hospital (even if you didn't have surgery there) explain you had WLS - and they "should" help you find a support group - point you in the right direction people help each other - give suggestions, moral support just like here, but you are one on one in a group glad you joined here ask your questions - or just come here to talk with someone modestly speaking we're ALL great!!!! 2 Robin26 and zoogrl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zoogrl 12 Posted April 28, 2013 I'm in purée and I ask friends to go to Breakfast places. I order a poached egg so I know it wasn't cooked in lard. It's worked great so far and my bill is like $1.00! Lol We are cheap dates now 1 Robin26 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tallkt 7 Posted April 29, 2013 Right, I don't regret having it done, it's just different making social plans right now. We always go to my BF parents for dinner that has to change, can't go for a drink or for coffee...I'm resorting to mini golf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
