Hey all...

It's been a little over 3 months since I've made the choice to have the lapband surgery, and take the steps toward getting it done.

In the process, I've been watching a few different forums. This one in general, has made me think about how nifty it would be to meet a guy that is/has/will be getting banded as well.

As with most people, I've had my ups and downs in relationships. Just thought I would throw this thought out there and see if it's crossed anyone elses mind.

Has anyone taken this journey with their partner or met someone along the way that has also been banded and you are now dating?

Just curious!

Thanks!

Hello,

I am going through this journey with my boyfriend of 4 years. It's been tuff, it's only been a month now. He has been there for me, but at the same time, it's been hard with him. I am having lots of ups and downs, emotional lows, highs.

He has been stressed at work so I have not been able to get much support from him lately and he lives 1 hour away so that doesn't help much either. It's been difficult to stay with him. I feel that a lot of my needs are not being met and I want to move on but not until I lose the weight, so it's kind of a tuff situation.

My therapist seems to think once I lose the weight I will have more options and not feel he is the only one for me, since I'm somewhat unhappy with him, but I stay anyways.

So there you have it. It's been difficult.

Yeah I have thought of meeting a man that has been banded as well, but wouldn't know where to start. :)

Plus I can't do that to my current boyfriend. I would have to leave him first. :cursing:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
