I'm 15 months almost post-op and have not developed lactose intolerant. Not all people do. I drink milk and eat tons of cheese

Subject: [After Weight Loss Surgery] Hi all


I tried a banana form from the hospital pharmacy...it was horrid. Now I'm afraid to try the others. This whole process is starting to scare me to death, and I haven't had the surgery yet. I just don't know what to do. I need it and it would help me, if it doesn't kill me first. I don't think I could stand being lactose intolerant and does it get better after surgery if you get that way. I haven't went to GNC yet but I'm not sure what to look for if I do.

I wouldn't take anything to heart. Each and everyone of us are different. Some have had post op problems, some haven't. I've had no issues, problems or side effects. Besides this dang head hunger lol but everyone gets that, post or pre. You'll do fine. And even if you become lactose intolerant, then you will deal with it ok!

I've had plenty of surgeries, but they were all necessary. This is the first time I have elected to have one. I think it would be easier if a doctor had told me I had to...at least in my mind. They all say I am doing the right thing for the right reasons...but still.

No, I don't get more attention from guys! I'm 57!!! No one looks at middle-aged women. :) But, I notice that people don't notice me like they did when I was heavy. I just fit in better every place, and feel so much healthier and shopping is a lot easier. I would say more confidence because of less shame.

So from someone that has had the surgery can you tell me what is different , of course besides being littler, in your life for example are you getting more attention from the guys or more self confidence what is different over all?

Hi Karen,
I agree 100% and I think the doctors and pre-surgerical psychologist told us the same thing. It's very true. I'd like to add that if a large part of someone's relationship is food centered and eating out and things like that, it's going to be rough going for some time because the last thing a post-op wants to do is eat. You want to lose!
Talk it all out in advance if you can.
Sheila

Hello,

I have been married for 15 years, together for 18 years. We are still going like we always have. He is concerned about my weight because I have gained so much back, but, other than that there is no real problems. I will tell you what my surgeon told us at the meeting. If you have a good marriage it can get better, if you have a bad marriage it will probably get worse. If you figure some men think of a fat spouse as SAFE then you understand. Also the new attention from other men or women can make the current partner feel very insecure and it is hard sometimes to make them understand that it is just what it is and if you are truly happy then it will not hurt the relationship.

Is there anyone out there that has had success with staying married and improving their marriage after surgery? I have just been approved for surgery and will be celebrating my 1st anniversary this weekend. All this talk is very discouraging to me! I would rather be overweight with the love of my life because we are very happy than to be at a much lower weight and be miserable. I am very healthy other than my weight so I guess I am on the fence right now!

Gosh, that sounds so much like what I am going through right now. It just makes me want to cry. I told my husband when I got the surgery (and I truly meant it) that we were not going to be among the stastitics.

But I just can't take much more.

in my experience, I became a 'born again healthy person'. My ex-spouse was not interested in exercising, or losing any weight. He wanted the status quo to remain the same, that is, a nice 'safe' wife who didn't rock the lifestyle boat. When I lost weight and started dressing in a stylish, if not sexy manner, he protested by being verbally abusive and avoiding me, when he wasn't trying to sabotage my diet. He started drinking more (he already had a drinking problem). In short, he couldn't deal with the new me, and we grew apart, and finally, I gave up and left (but not until after 24 marriage counselling sessions).
