It's crazy when someone you used to date has problems with you losing weight because they're worried about you finding someone better... I'm sure I'm not the only one going through this

It's more common than you think. It is also why my non-surgery wife has lost weight right beside me the whole time. Although she was not anywhere near as big as I was, we get to share our victory together and there are no weird feelings that come along with having only one person in the relationship go through a dramatic change.

My husband is doing the same thing as Guru in training's wife. He's starting to walk a lot more now. It is awesome to have the extra support.

Any was there is a reason she's your ex, her not appreciating the weight loss just gives you another reason.

Yeah I didn't tell her until a month before because we're not together and I'm a Navy vet so she's so worried about how I looked 10 years ago just very annoying

I haven't gotten my sleeve yet (5/31) and my fiancé asks me if I'm still going to love him when I lose weight. To me, it's crazy, but I can understand the insecurity because it's something you hear about. What they don't understand is that majority of people who lose dramatic weight quickly still see themselves as heavy and that's not something that (sometimes) ever goes away.

But yeah, you're not the only one going through that haha.

      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.
