Recommended Posts

Well my surgery date was 2/26/13 and I've lost 23lbs,and I still hate my body and hate anyone who looks at me since i had my baby 6mos. Ago i tend to only wear baggy clothes so nobody will pay me any attention,so i went to the grocery store today and a very handsome man approached me for my number and i was so upset because how could someone like him even look at a person like me all he's looking for is sex,so I hurried and left the store all i can do is cry,my ex left for someone smaller and seems to be happy hopefully with more Weightloss and therapy I can one day find happiness.

As far as men goes, the good ones are not just looking for the perfect body or perfect woman. If that was the case supermodel or Halley berry would never have gone through a divorce. Men do like strong, confident, smart and nice women. Personality really does go a long way!! I can't imagine what all you are going through- weight loss is just a tool and not a cure. You have to figure out the real issue to the depression to make sure you can live a happy health life. (((Hugs)))

I went through several crappy relationships and dates in my life. Got married and divorced 2 years later. Then I met the love of my life, and I've been through my highest weight period with him. He loves me no matter what size I am. He's been there right by my side through the whole pre-op period and surgery. I could not ask for better. One of our friends (a skinny minnie) made a comment today that she wishes her boyfriend treated her as well as mine treats me. The quality men will want you for you, no matter what your size is. They'll see your personality shine through. And some of them actually like big girls :)

I too suffer from anxiety and depression and I think alot of it has to do with my size. I have dealt with infidelity in my marriage too and thought it was because of the way I looked. But, you are a beautiful person and the inside and deep down you know that. You have done a brave thing to have the rny. Now, you are going to make your outside as beautiful as your inside. I think maybe talk to your doctor about seeing a counselor to sort through your feelings. I have done this and it has been a tremendous help. You have to get back to loving you!

      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.
