Help from the Ladies



Recommended Posts

Hello Ladies

I hope you can forgive my intrusion into your sanctuary, but I needed some advice. My lady friend has been my ROCK through my sleeve process. She bought all my supplies, did my two week liquid diet with me slept on a cot at the hospital and refuses to eat any food around me so she wont tempt me. (she even drives to her moms for dinner and drives home) Anyway I want to do something special for her to let her know how much it means to me. I bought her a really cool tennis Bracelet and want to give it to her, the problem is I can't bring her out for a nice dinner!! I can't go into Chez Expensique and order mushy confit, I wish. So where do I take her and tell her how much she means to me? I was thinking one of those central park horse carriages but it seems a bit cliche, any suggestions welcome.

Geeze, don't worry about cliche! A surprise carriage ride would knock my socks (and other things) off. Most women are really easy to please. It is the fact that you are putting this much thought and effort into surprising her. I wish my hubby could find his romantic brain again. He lost it about 10 months after we met and got comfortable in our relationship.

Good luck and a big "Kudos" to you!

ooooo boy, you dont know us ladies very well do you? Cliche? That's what we like!!! I say horse and buggy ride would be amazing. I would enjoy a play or musical too! How far out are you? There are lots of places you can go and if you dont mind watching her eat, you can order Soup. It doesnt hurt to call a head and find out what the soup of the day is and plan the place accordingly. It may be a good way for her to learn to eat in front of you again. Cause if you plan on staying together (which it sounds like you do) she will need to be comfortable eating with you.

Just my opinion. Good Luck and Good for you for treating her so well.

I think the carriage ride sounds terrific! Shoot, I'd be happy with some purty flowers and the lovely gift you're giving her! :)

You're a lucky man to have someone that devoted to helping you get through this journey. I hope she's more than just a "friend". ;)

Let us know how it turns out, would you please? So I can live vicariously through you... and, if you want to call my hubby and give him some ideas, I'll be happy to share his number! LOL

What a lucky pair you are... a carriage ride sounds fab! I agree with the others... cliche ain't bad! What about a nice stroll, somewhere peaceful?

Good luck with your thank you ... let us know where and how it was received!

Is this for Christmas or just because? I'm telling you, the whole lighted Christmas tree back drop is always nice (at times square or the like). Or the top of a skyscraper deal. It might all seem cliche but MYSELF??? I'd love it. GOOOD LUCK!! Let us know how it all turns out. :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
