    BKLYNgal87 got a reaction from Lisa G in Joining Weight Watchers after Gastric Sleeve surgery.   
    Do you have physical limitations that prevent you from exercise? If not, why aren't you exercising? Have you tried curtailing the calories back from almost 1100? I am almost 7 months out and I eat usually less than that.
    IMO, Weight Watchers is at best, a terrible diet for obese people, and at worst, a diet designed specifically to keep people "on the plan" and not to lose the weight they need to. Why? They are a for-profit company - that's why! I personally would only reserve it for maintenance but wouldn't follow the daily carb allowance. It allows you too many carbs, truly. The effective tool for rapid weight loss is ketosis, and you'll never achieve that on WW. Expect a loss in the wallet, but not much on the scale. If it worked so well for all of us then why did we end up getting surgery? If I were you I wouldn't give up on your nutritionist's plan yet. Go back to your surgery center and explain your issues.

    I'm a little under 15 lbs from my ultimate goal, but after buying new clothes for spring I decided I had to show them off!

    BKLYNgal87 got a reaction from Thicc chick 504 in my boyfriend doesn't approve of the surgery   
    I agree with the above. This surgery is about YOU, and you alone. It's for your health and well-being in the long term. Here's the thing about relationships in life - they come and go for more reasons than you can count. I understand you may care about this person a great deal. But his lack of support for you in this important life-altering decision must be an eye opener to some degree. It speaks to his character and a probable lack of maturity. You deserve a partner who is really going to be a partner.
    That being said, even if he was 100% supportive of the surgery and was there with you every step of the way, that doesn't mean you'll stay together long term. I speak from experience. My ex-fiance was the epitome of supportive and loving from day one. But I realized as the weight came off that I became a different person. This is pretty common for post-op bariatric patients. Our weight affects us so much more than just physically. My feelings about myself changed and over time, and unfortunately so did my feelings about him. The foundation upon which we built our relationship wasn't healthy. It was broken and cynical. So we broke it off. It's sad and painful, but life goes on. He'll always have a place in my heart as my first love, but there will be others after him. However, everyone only gets one of themselves. Being kind and loving toward yourself needs to come first.
