Honey, I am so sorry for him making you feel this way. I had a partial hysterectomy (just uterus and cervix) 2 years ago and ended up gaining 60 lbs in less than a year. I had a lap band in 2006 and went from 230 to 160 and fluctuated between 160 and 190 for a long time. Then bam! up to 250 the biggest I've ever been. I had complications with my band and got it removed and the sleeve done on Jan 7th. so far I have lost 21lbs since surgery and 35 lbs since thanksgiving. My boyfriend did not notice my weight gain or loss, I think that shows he loves me for who I am, but he also likes girls with a little extra. My mother on the other hand is a big negativity person. Also growing up with a tiny big sister who has never been bigger than a size 6 and is a size 2 normally and a mother who at 60 is still a size 8-10 was a battle. My mother always thought pointing out my rolls or jiggleiness would motivate me to loose weight. Or, when I told her I lost 10lbs she would say "you have alot more to go" or "good, loose more". And then when i gained my weight after the hyster she would criticize everything I ate and always point out I was gaining weight and getting bigger, and finally at my biggest 250lbs and a size 18/20 she told me "I was huge". I had a sit down talk with her and found out that, that is just the was that she is. She loves me more than anything and she jst wants me to be healthy and happy. I mentioned to her that the negative reinforcement was not working for me and just made me feel like nothing and wanted to just eat more. I also said that I needed her support to change for this surgery and I needed more positivity. It took a bit for her to understand but it got better. Now when I tell her I lost weight she says "good job" or she will point out how baggy my pants are. She will still throw in a little negativity but not as bad and with a positive. The other day I tild her that I have lost 35lbs so far and she said "wow, good job! Now 55more to go." Just sit down and have a talk with him, it may be that he loves you for you he just does not know the correct motivation. Just talk to him, maybe try a marriage counselor if you would like a 3rd party present. This is going to be very emotionally straining time. If he will not change to support you the way you need to be supported there is something wrong with him not your. Just tell him how you feel and what you need. If he is not there for you or better or worse then he is not a true Christian and did not take his marriage vows seriously. Tell him, changes are happening and he can either be around to see it, or he can not, but you are not going to take his negativity and hurtfulness anymore. You deserve better and you deserve the support you need. YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL BOTH INSIDE AND OUT!!!!!

Hey guys, I'm almost 3 weeks out and I am starting to migrate into the pureed foods. Some foods make me really nauseous when I eat and other do not. Cottage cheese and apple sauce are fine but I tried tuna with a little mayo and some refried Beans and they both caused nausea for a while. I've become afraid of trying anything else new. Will this pass as I heal? Does anyone still experience nausea with foods?

Can I ever use a straw again?

Hey guys I'm only 2 weeks out from surgery but I would like some input. After you are fully healed is there anything that you cannot eat? I mean I know that there are things that you should not eat from any diet standpoint but is there anything your body will not tolerate? I am a huge cake fan and I think that I should be able to reward myself with a small piece of cake every great once in a while (as long as I up my gym time to counteract). Has anyone found that they cannot eat certain foods?

Thank you!!!

My dear Amy, Don't give up as of yet! It is not over till its over! Try Premier Protein chocolate, it tastes like choc milk and Muscle Milk Cookies and cream. They both are really good, but if they are too heavy for you try diluting them with some milk it mellows the taste. Another good unflavored powder is unjury Medical protein Unflavored, it mixes well with everything and is tasteless. You can mix it with anything, juice, soup, regular lowfat choc milk, any food really. Also when you mix it if its too heavy you can always put half a scoop instead of a full scoop. Best of luck to you!

Hey everybody!!! I hope you are all having a fantastic day! I am about 1 1/2 weeks out form surgery (surg date 1/7/16) and yesterday I started to get this weird feeling in my stomach. I am a lap band to sleeve revision and did not have alot of pain. Most of my pain is the incisions. This feeling is hard to describe but it is a combination of tingling at the base of my esophagus and light pulling in my chest/upper stomach. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if I should contact my surgeon or not. I have stuck to my post op diet and have not eaten anything I shouldn't. Should I be concerned?

Hey everyone I need help, my insurance will not cover my much needed revision surgery. I am single and working two jobs and still cant pay for my full surgery :-( Please help me with a small donation. I'm desperate!! https://www.gofundme.com/zn77a3a8

I am fully aware thats not what they mean by "support". I was just giving it a long shot. But thanks anyway

Thank you for the empathy! Yes I am looking into financing now, I got approved for Care Credit but unfortunately my doctor does not take it. Wishing you the very best.
