Not sure if anyone can help me or give me some advice, but here goes. I have been with my boyfriend for a year and half. I was sleeved this Feb 5th and am now 4 months po. I have dropped 76 lbs so far and feeling a lot better as I continue to lose the weight. Anywho... lately my boyfriend seems to be less interested in me than before. He told me he didn't want me to have the surgery after I had it done but since has been doing nothing but pushing me, and telling me what to do. What I should eat, how much I should exercise, what exercises I should do... on and on. It's driving me crazy. He wants me to be at my goal weight ASAP so I can have the extra skin removed. I'm happy with the weight I have lost and of course I don't like the extra excess skin, but I don't wanna kill myself to do it. I know I can get to goal, but do I really have to get there as quick as I possibly can?

Holy smokes! Sounds like you're doing great! I think you need to confront your boyfriend. Make it clear that you are the one that is dieting, the one that is exercising and following the process/procedures of experts. He needs to back off.

What the hell tell him to back off jack...this is not a race or a sprint. This is the rest of your life and if he wants to be part of it calm the hell down....Sometimes I wonder what people are thinking.

I can just imagine him taking all the credit for the hard work you are putting into this yourself....Oh I told her to do this or that...What!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is about you not him...He can encourage you and support you but to control what your doing..That is going way to far.!

Honestly, I'd be a bit suspicious. My boyfriend, who is always on my ass about food, Water, sleep, exercise, sloppiness ect would NEVER even mention my loose skin! If I bring it up he pretends he doesn't know what I'm talking about. Then I start flapping my arm skin at him and he rolls his eyes and grabs my boobs. If he ever said he wanted me to lose faster so I could get my back wings removed I'd slap him with my belly flap!

I wonder if he feels threatened and insecure about your success. As in, maybe she won't need me anymore. But even so, that's his problem. If you are not getting the loving support you need, I'd say run. I know, easier said than done. But I've been there. Was there for 10 years. Time lost and wasted. Don't let anyone bring you down. You are brave and are working hard. Be proud and happy!

      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!!

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

      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! 😞
