My husband and I relationship hasn't really changed. He was never overly supportive of the surgery. I am 9 mos out and down 86lbs now and just last week was the first time he ever said anything...

Gosh I feel like such a dope! I just noticed I read this heading wrong!!! Why wouldn't obese women find you attractive? I don't get it. Which did you mean to say? Attractive or attracted? ...

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. At least you're being honest. And if I'm honest, if I was a man looking at me for the first time, I wouldn't find myself attractive either. When...

I also don't like eating. I don't enjoy it whatsoever anymore. I don't look forward to it. (which is probably a good thing) It feels like a chore. I never feel hungry and I never feel thirsty. ...

There isn't anything I would do different. But I was quite shocked at how much the gas pain hurt in my left shoulder when I woke up after surgery. They will surely give you medicine for it as they...

I was sleeved 1/20/15. I'm very early out so I don't know if I'm the best person to answer. I encourage you to research it. But as you research keep in mind that not everyone's experiences are...

LOL! Wookie! It's ok for me though. ALL of the men in my family look the same way! :)

I am 3 weeks out but also stalled where you are now. I didn't lose anything for a week or so. It was disheartening for sure. Then out of the blue I lost 4 lbs. Hang in there.

Welcome to the site. It is a great place to be! I hope you have a great recovery. My surgery is next tuesday the 20th :)

Yay Sandie511! We can do this! :o

Yes I can drink any that meet their protein requirement. Thanks for the info, I'll check it out :)

Today was the start of my liquid diet with my upcoming surgery scheduled Jan. 20th. I am already sick of chocolate atkins shakes. Oh well. They are not terrible, but it's just having to drink...

Welcome! My surgery is the 20th as well :)

My surgery is in 3 weeks. I am truly nervous and scared too. And that's now, 3 weeks before hand. :P
Keep us posted on how you're doing. Best wishes to you!

How inspiring to read! I think it's wonderful that you feel handsome again. I can't remember the last time I actually felt genuinely pretty. So I am sure that is a great feeling! I am so happy...

I took adipex for just a week and felt awful on it! I was nervous on edge and my heart felt like it was racing! I did not like it at all. I quit taking it for that reason. I have heard it affects...

great news!! so happy for you :o

Thank you all so much for your kind words and support. I really need it. ♥

Thank you both!

Let me start off by saying since I am overweight, I like most people that are this way, hate having my picture taken. As a matter of fact I refuse to take pictures these past few years. So, my...

I don't think I'm addicted to food. I do use food to soothe myself if I'm upset, stressed, or even happy! Because if I'm happy, certain food makes me more happy! lol :rolleyes: I am an emotional...

I just love your title! :) cracked me right up! lol

Welcome! You will find lots of info here. Good luck! :)

I haven't talked to him about it yet. I did leave a message with the weight management doctor nurse. Of course, I haven't got a call back yet....

I just had my 2nd of 6 appts with my weight management doctor. He went over my blood work levels with me. Everything was within range except my C Reactive Protein. Mine was 12.47....
