The funny part about this all was that last summer he lost 75 pounds' date=' on his own working out all the time, the whole time I was supportive, told him he looked awesome, mean while I was going through all my stuff to get ready for surgery. Even my co workers and clients give me compliments ..Even on New Years I asked him to take me dance...yep that never happened......I dont know understand why he would want to push me away, I'm not going anywhere.....[/quote']

I see. He perceives that you took the easy way out on weight loss while he had to "work" for it. We all know that there's nothing easy with our weight loss! He resents you having your surgery. He also doesn't want to have to share the spotlight of extreme weight loss with your friends.

Another new guy here. Surgery end of June 2012. Had for all the usual reasons, high cholesterol, pre diabetes, herd, acid reflux, cpap. I'm 44 and have 3 children under 6. I want to be around for them1

Hey, I just found this Man Room. I thought this forum was just about all women. I really need to start scrolling further more often. My name is Tim and I'm here for the same reasons I see over and over. I'm 50 with a BMI of 40.2, Diabetes (4 pills and two different insulins 4 times a day), arthritis joint pain from multiple broken bones and surgeries since High School (both knees, both shoulders, both feet, lower back and hand), sleep apnea that keeps me from getting any good sleep, and ulcers and a Hiatal Hernia that give me acid reflux. I've got a great wife and two beautiful daughters and I would like to be around (and healthy) for as long as possible.

I just had my Gastric Bypass on Wednesday January 16th, 2013 and I feel pretty good already. I've been out of the Hospital for four days now and start the Stage 2 liquid diet on Monday. The weird thing is that I haven't been hungry yet. Two and a half days of crushed ice at the hospital; I used to just think of it as watering down my gin, but now, I like crushed ice! My energy is good, I think because I've been taking in a lot of protein (60+ grams a day) since Friday, and I've started walking (shuffling) around the neighborhood a couple of times a day. There is some pretty good surgical pain if the meds start to wear off, so don't let it. When it hurts more, I tend to sleep more and that doesn't help. I am very excited that tomorrow I get pudding (Yea, pudding!).

I'll keep posting results and experiences now that I've found you guys. I hope that will encourage and/or help those that are coming up on your surgery dates. It's been very helpful to me reading some of the posts here (crap there are a LOT of posts!) and I plan to read all of them. Good luck with your surgeries and going forward from there into a new, healthier life.

Tim

hey tim... welcome to the boards. Dont be afraid to post out of the man room... lol... lots of women here like to hear your perspective... and see how you are doing. Good luck on your journey

Welcome aboard Tim...glad you found us guys huddled here in the corner.

I just jumped through my last scheduled hoop yeaterday; pulmonary clearance.

Surgeon's office submitted all my stuff to the insurance company yesterday. Guess now I sit back and wait.

My RNY is scheduled for 2/22....and I cant wait!!!

Jeff from PA

RNY 8/24/09

Pre surgery 440lbs

Today 198

I lost the equivalent of two cheerleaders lol. Stay diligent Tim. High protein is key or your body will consume its muscle to sustain vital operations. I went 120 days on the first stage of the diet after surgery due to a GI bleed a few weeks after my RNY. THIS WAS DUE TO EATING A PIECE OF CHICKEN! The system is delicate take your time.

The reason I went 120 days on liquid diet was because loosing 2 units of blood had a profound physiological effect on me to the point where I was afraid to even eat pudding lol.

Good luck stay positive and ask questions no matter how silly they may sound in your head.
