  1. The guy I was dating had the same opinion. He told me multiple times that he was against the surgery because everyone who had it "got skinny, cheated on their spouse, and then left". My response was to ask how many people he knew that had gone through the surgery and had "got skinny, cheated, and left" and he told me 2. I responded with I knew of at least a dozen people personally who had either the sleeve or bypass and hadn't cheated and left. That the surgery was to be a more healthy person and this was all about me nothing to do with him. I also reminded him that if people cheat and leave that has to do with their happiness in the relationship which both parties are responsible for not just whoever is having surgery. I told him maybe he had better look in a mirror and figure out why he was so unhappy with himself and why he would be so certain that if I got healthier Id leave. I was told that I was crazy so I saved him the trouble of watching me get skinny before I left, and I left him. Haven't heard a word since. This is nothing to do with our spouses or partners this a huge step to get healthier and live a happier life. If those around us cant be our cheerleaders and support the good choices that we are making then its really time to figure out what their misconception is and can we help them see what is actually going on. If so yay and if not cut bait and run towards that better life for yourself. Its going to hurt at first but you will be so much happier and healthier in the end.

    March-April Rny-ers

    I had my Gastric Bypass March 14th Pi day how appropriate. Im so excited about my new life and am looking forward to transitioning to pureed foods on Wednesday. I never in my life have been excited about mushy food before but Im looking forward to chewing again sometime real soon. Ive started going to the gym and walking on the treadmill which was difficult at best. I just knew those people were all going to judge my over anxious self but they didn't and I actually felt better after walking on the treadmill. I had told myself that I had expected to only last 10 minutes on the treadmill but I made it almost 30 and realized that I could no longer feel my legs so for safety reasons I stopped there and went home feeling damn good about myself. Lesson learned its ok to push myself a bit I wont break in two or fall over dead. I did go out for a bike ride the other day and in all honesty it was a bit scary. I came home after dark which I didn't like and my bike seat thinks its a g-string. Ive purchased a new bike seat but I cant get the old one off so until I see my Dad later this week no outside bike riding for me. Its still a little cold here for that anyway. Im really looking forward to getting to know you all and seeing how we succeed in this new lifestyle.
