Ok so I'm scheduled for surgery on June 23rd and am very excited and nervous also, one of my worries are that what if when I lose the weight my husband won't be attracted to me, now I've always been a big girl and he knew that of-course when he met me although I did put on 60lbs during the relationship but I still wonder if maybe the weight loss won't look good on me because I've always known myself to be big. I know my husband loves me for me and my personality and big heart but I still just wonder...... Does anyone else have this feelings? Please let me know!

I wish you the greatest of successes with your surgery. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. No regrets. My relationship matured via surgery. It can turn into something positive and meaningful. Improving your health ultimately improves relationships. This is my opinion and experience. Again, wishing you the very best of success.

Oh wow I swear my hubby and I just talked about this the other day! He has always been attracted to bigger girls and I was worried if I did this that he just wouldn't be interested. He reassured me that if me losing weight meant I was healthier and happier then he was there with me 1000%. He said no matter what he wasn't going anywhere. I think he knew I needed those words of encouragement.

The only person you HAVE to live with for the rest of your life is yourself. I'm not saying "be selfish". I'm saying you have to do what makes you happy and healthy. Everything else will fall into place. He should love you with his heart and if he doesn't... then that's not love that's a visual attraction. And visual attraction doesn't last. Because guess what... we all change. Our bodies change, our faces change.

Hang in there!

My surgery is the 23rd too!

If your husband truly loves you for who you are inside, not the size you are, then you have nothing to worry about. Have a talk with him about your fears and give him the chance to reassure you that his feelings will not change after you lose weight. :)

For me it's not a matter of the love not being there. He shows me and tells me he loves me all the time. It's more of a worry if the attraction will be there. He loves chubby girls. That's all he has ever dated. And he is a tall fit guy in the military. So we get the " what the hell is he doing with her" kinda looks :/.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
