My name is kevin.

I've had my surgery nov 28th of last yr. I've currently lost 190 lbs. I had a very weird experience yesterday, I went on my first date in 14 yrs. this was my problem it's been so long that I still felt like that big guy I had been all that time. It didn't help that we didn't connect! I just felt strange. Has anyone had these feelings or experience? I had one girl who wouldnt date me if I was going to lose weight faster than her? WTF!!! This girl was a twig! Any way!

Thanks for having me!

Hey Kevin, first off welcome to the board!

I'm not that long post op but already have had similar experiences in all aspects of my life. For example simply going shopping I feel like I need to go to the plus sizes (which is not the case anymore) but I have a hard time seeing myself as a "normal size" person. I am still adjusting to my new body size. I actually find it quite awkward when people comment on my weight loss at times. It's like wow is that the only thing anyone notices lol. I do love the newly found confidence that I have these days... Definitely an added bonus. I think it just takes time to adjust mentally not being that overweight person anymore.

Lol at the twig girl that didn't want you to lose faster..some people are just funny!

      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.
