Congrats!

Kudos to you! You're going to love Cali, it's super fun here

Congrats on you weight loss and thank for the encouraging words!

Thanks Firelle!!

I'm sorry that you are feeling so down. Just don't give up, you'll get there. What protiens drinks have you tried? In my bariatic surgery class they had us try different protien drinks before hand and I really liked the Body Fortress Whey Isolate powder with almond milk, it has 30g of protien and less than 1g of sugar per scoop. I get the chocolate one. Like cbd, I've tried the fruit flavored Isopure drinks as well and I really like them. Some shops offer sample sizes to try out so you won't waste money. By the way, that guy at your club meeting is a total jerk. Best of luck

Keeping my fingers crossed for you

Awesome!! Wishing you a smooth recovery.

Exactly! I'm really looking forward to that. No looking back.

Thanks so much for the support ladies! It's definitely better that I know now than later. Hugs to you all

I can't believe the nerve of some of people. I'm glad you have someone new in your life and show that cheater the door when he came crawling back. Takes a strong person to say no more.

I've only had a few fears about going though the whole VSG process, all of them were reserved for life after surgery. Was I going to lose my hair? Will I still be able to have a fun night out with friends? The dreaded loose skin... I didn't count on having my relationship go directly in the crapper and all before I even got the surgery. After nearly 6 years of seeing a self professed chubby chaser, I naively thought that what he'd be understanding about everything. That I was extremely unhappy about my size and needed this to change. His first response was one of assurance that I was sexy the way that I was and there was no need for me to change. Once he saw that was pretty serious about going though with this the reponse was increasingly negative. "You know I don't like skinny chicks" "I don't know how I'm going to feel about you after this" "I'm not going to be attracted to you". Oh silly me, I thought he loved me for me. Long story short, 3 weeks ago one evening after I had cooked one of his favorite meals, baked a cheesecake for him (I hate cheesecake) banged his brains out, ran his bath (all things I love doing for the guy I love) we get into a little joking tiff about certain moments where his behavior was a little off over the past year. At least it started as a joke, until he started acting defensive. Red flag. So I didn't fly off the handle, oh no, I calmly said "I'm tired of you treating me like I'm stupid" and walked out. He finishes up in the bath and comes out and says "OK, OK, I screwed some chick" "It wasn't anything, it was just sex" GTFO here with that BS. I can't say that I was shocked but I'm angry that I didn't follow my first mind when it was screaming at me. I'm frustrated that I have to go though this surgery alone now as well. I'm glad that I know now so I can stop wasting valuable time on someone who obviously did not value me enough to be honest, or better yet, to not creep around behind my back. I'm a little concerned that I'm not laying in bed in my PJ's with a bowl of ice cream (ok a few bowls of ice cream) or plotting some diabolical revenge senario. It's really unsual for me. Although I did briefly have the urge to throw my cat on his face and hope that his eyes where gouged out. Good riddance
