My bf thinks the same thing, I know how you feel and he doesn't talk about it either. I could talk about this all day because it makes me happy and excited. Itd be nice to have someone to share the excitement with, that's why I come here.

My husband was the same way at first. He didn't want me to have it at all at first. Then he got to the point where he would say, "you do what you gotta do, but I don't wanna hear about it." He tends to be insecure to the point where it can be kind of problematic and one time he said, "promise me you aren't going to leave me if you get thinner." That was rather upsetting as I took it that he felt like I only settled on him because I was overweight and couldn't get anyone else. Then come time I was scheduled my date the argument became about him not being able to be there due to his work and he felt like I was not being considerate of him. But now, this past month, 20 days out from surgery, he sent me the most supportive text message on my way to work this morning saying he was "so proud and excited for the journey I have begun" and that he has faith in me.

When all this started I thought we may end up a statistic and it may not last for us, but things have really started to come around. The message he sent me this morning surprised me and brought tears to my eyes because it has been such a battle and I didn't think I would ever hear those words from him. My hope for you is that maybe your fiancé will come around as my husband did.

That is so sweet of your husban I know it has to be amazing to have support from the person you love!! I am hoping he changes once I go through it. He is very a great man but I guess he feels a bit insecure or he just dont want to deal.I told him he didnt have to be there the day of my surgery since he made me upset. Thanks for showing support gives me hope☺

My husband is insecure as well and I always had to remind myself of that and try to take into account his feelings. But sometimes it was hard. I would try to remind him that he wants to have kids and we have tried for over a year with no luck. I tried to appeal to this side of him. The surgery may help with fertility, healthier pregnancy, etc. He would say "Promise that when the time comes we can try for kids and that is why you are doing this." I hate that he gives me like these little ultimatums, but I know he is scared. He broke down about a week ago and let me know that he was scared I would not come back from surgery and he didn't know what he would do without me and that is why he has been so against the whole process.

        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.

      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
