Relationships and WLS

There's nothing wrong with you. It's them. You've ended up with 2 insecure, manipulative, and possibly emotionally abusive guys, and that absolutely sucks. There are tons of people out there who would love to be with someone who is healthy, working hard, and wants the best for herself!

Stop wasting your time with this jackhole. What a piece of sh*t. If I lived near you I'd lay him on his ass.

Listen, take the advise of all these people and get rid of this guy. There is literally nothing he is doing for you that you can't do for yourself. There is someone perfect for you out there. Don't forget this D-bag though, use him as a reminder of what you don't need in your life. This is your life and YOU need to make sure your happy with it. Maybe part of the reason why you started this journey to begin with. Best of luck to you!!!

I know... easier said than done... I’m emotionally invested and it sucks... my last boyfriend said I was repulsive so comments like those make me wonder if there is something wrong with me.. :-/ I just hope there’s someone better out there for me...

finding someone that cares for you starts by caring for yourself. dump him and work on learning to like and accept yourself. When you like who you are you will find someone.

the kind of man that is attracted to insecurity and self doubt is the kind that wants to own a person not partner and support a person.

please love yourself enough to walk away from this train wreck in the making.

Thank you all for your kind words.. makes waking up to start my day after a sleepless night seem a little better. I need to work on myself and not let people try to bring me down. I have waited so long for this day to be here and I don’t want anyone to take this time in my life away from me.

Psssht, girl, he is NOT worth it. I have had x’s in my past who did the same, and time and time again have taken me away from myself. Thinking I wasnt good enough. No, the problem is I was too good for them. I was sleeved in Oct. and I met a guy in mid
February. (CDFF app) our first date was planet fitness! We met at starbucks in target. He knows and is very understanding. He is my inspiration. I have been really getting down in myself because of this 6 or so week stall. He kicks me back to reality. He gets me to look at pics of how far I have come, and makes me hold up/try on the jeans I used to wear. He helps me not be/ get discouraged. He isnt isnt super skinny, and he is not fat. He has a tad extra. But he wants to get back into shape. (He had a heart attack a year and a half ago)

Advice from an old chick who has been there...

This is only a 6 month investment for you. You already have red flags about him. Is he emotionally invested calling you a hooker in front of your parents? What would you say to a friend that was in your situation?

You deserve and can ge a better man in your life. Why settle for less than you deserve. You are wasting your precious time.

Use this time losing weight to love yourself, heal from past hurts. Get your mojo and confidence up. That confidence is going to attract the right kind of men.

Start counseling now. Now is the time for you. To fix yourself from the inside out. If you need him for financial security at this point in time, choose your timing. But stop feeding a dry well. Don't go to the well anymore and start emotionally detaching from him. Then leave when you're healthier and ready to fly. You may not be at that point yet. But choose your battles AND your timing.

Thank you. I was feeling good about myself until he started acting the way he is... he hasn’t tried to sabotage my weight loss just makes fun of me for exercising and eating healthy. I just don’t feel pretty now.

That is sabotage.

Ok so, I am wondering how OP is doing? Have you kicked him to the curb?
I am still with the fantastic guy, I seriously see what I have done wrong. I hated my physical appearance. I loved myself, inside, but all we see is outside. And that is so hard when you look in the mirror. Now that I am down 145 lbs, I wonder what I would look like if I met this guy sooner? Failed relationships and divorce have hit me hard. On 1/1/16, I started a new journey. For ME! To love myself inside and out, no matter what! And some days I struggle with that.. especially the last few days (I have now lost most of my hair and look like Joe Dirt, and today was the anniversary of the death of my mother 4 years ago, and the birthdate of my best friend who died in 2016) and I have made it through. Please dont think you will be alone forever. You wont. You need to find mr right, not mr right now. Love alllll of you, then look.. you may be surprised!

A little wise musing for you "youngins"
Taking back or staying with a man who done you wrong is like thinking milk is still good when it's sat out without refrigeration in the hot sun.😋

I am the OP... turns out he has violent tendencies.. his behavior lately has been very erratic and about a week ago he was drinking a lot.. we got into a verbal argument because he said I didn’t care about him or love him and he hit me once in the face and another time in the arm. Charges have been filed and I have a protection order in tact. It has taken a lot for me to realize that I deserve much better and someone that will support me and encourage me to follow my goals and dreams. I will not let him control my life. Everyday is a new beginning for me.. I just ran my first 5k and finished it and couldn’t be happier.. my weight loss has slowed but any loss is a loss. I will do this for me!

I'm really sorry it came to violence but am glad you are now free of this a**hole.

Much love to you and I hope you now go from strength to strength.

I am glad you found out sooner, rather than later. I am sorr6 to hear this, but I am glad you went through with charges and pfa in place. You are a strong woman, and I am glad you are so much happier! We have struggled for so long, and we deserve this. In a real relationship, they won’t question your every move, throw it in your face that you dont love them, and make you feel like you are the bad one. Nope it is them, because that is narcissistic behavior. I am glad you are out of that. Live for you and your new life! Keep on keeping on!

      Hey everyone!
      I’m new here! Looking for some friends! 🥰

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        Good Luck this procedure is well worth it I am down to 249.6 lb please continue with the process..

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

      3. Doughgurl

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

      2. Doughgurl

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
