Well what a weekend. Arrived at his house on friday eve at 8 got the guided tour. Hes got a really nice cottage with lots of the origanal features and is in the process of decorating etc but hes got fantastic taste.
We then went and met his sister, aunt and friends at the local club. To say i was bricking it would be an understatment. Again when i started this thread it was because i stuggle to eat when excited, upset etc. having never been an emotional eater and i cant believe how much more difficult it is now that im bypasssed. Foolishly ive managed to loose 4lbs in the past week but hopefully it will go back on now.
I really dont know what i was worried about as he is so nice it stands to reason that his family is and they are. Mind you they didnt miss the opportubity to interigate me when he went to the loo but he had forwarned me that they would. lol
Anyway we left the club at 11 as i had decided that i was going to go home so having drank fresh orange and soda all night we headed back to his for a coffee before i hit the road. Unfortunatly i didnt make it back to the car till the following mornin. He really is a fantastic guy and any worries i had were unfounded.
Having not taken an overnight bag i headed off home to get changes and take the dog for a walk befor we went to the rugby club. He arrived to pick me up at 12.30 with a massive bunch of flowers. The only person 2 males who have ever bought me flowers was my sons dad and my son so i was rather overwhelmed. especially when he said they arn't to say thanks for last night its just something i like to do so expect plenty more as you deserve them.
We then had a fab time at the rugby club with a prematch meal and then watched the match. All my friends were very welcoming to him and he said he had really enjoyed every aspect of it and would love to bring his son next time hes up here with him.
We then went back to my house whilst i got changed for dinner and then he took me to a little italian resturant for a really romantic meal i just about managed a starter of scollops on sweet potato but id explained to him that my eating is worse when excited and i had also eaten quite a big meal at the rugby club earlier. But hes really understanding and so complimentary. We talked about how he felt now hes seen the real me and his reaction just blew me away. he said id already seen the real you as that come from within every thing else is just wht holds the rest in place.
We then headed off to fuses wedding reception but that journey was cut short by a phone call from camp to say he needed to be back earlier that expected. So quick turn around and off he went.
i went to the lovely amandas reception thanks to my son as i had had a glass of wine with my dinner. She looked absolutly stunning and radiant.
So all in all and absolutly fantastic weekend topped off by a text message yesturday saying that he cant wait to see me again in a fortnight when hes home again... oh i think im in love:bananalove:

Well only another week to go before he's home again! Cant wait. Still getting texts and emails every day and we also speak on the phone every other day!
When he comes up next week he's bringing his 15 yr old son with him and were going to the rugby club. We decided that as his son loves rugby to do something that he likes and i love and hopefully he will see that we have more than just one common interest and i'm not some evil woman trying to steal his dad away.

Oh how i hate how i react to emotions!!! Can't sleep, cant eat, so back on liquids including protien shakes otherwise i end up having the shakes as i dont have enough energy to get through the day. 2 days running now as soon as i have gone to eat something even though im just not feeling hungry im making myself eat. 2 mouthfuls and thats it i just cant physically eat any more. any one any ideas as to how to get past the emotional this bloody silly reaction to not eating when excited or upset? Was never a problem in the past as i always had reserves to live on...

I've been having similar problem Carole but when I am anxious or upset. My pouch just seems to tense up and I can only manage a mouthful of solid food. Luckily I have my ensure plus for those times, what about something like build up or complan with added neutral protein powder? It's a bit more balanced than just protein shakes and has vits and mins etc.
If it's been going on all day or longer for me I have slider foods like cottage pie or soup to help with volume of food but I know that's not your normal eating.
Are you losing weight through it?
As for long term, trying to change the reaction, my only suggestion would be something like NLP or hypnotherapy to try and break the connection in your mind. Perhaps CBT might work but it definitely needs something more specialised than just generic counselling.

Luckily just my normal 4lbs of fluctuation in weight. Hopefully by tomorrow and i know hes got his card and pressie and i know what his reaction is i will be fine. Then hopefully as the weekend looms i'll be ok or just give myself a kick. it cant go on forever can it!!
I'll blame it all on you, Nic and Liam as it was you 2 who said i needed a fella and then liam for signing me up to the website.
The thought of complan, ensure or something just makes me feel sick but i think that is more my association with them as both my mum and dad were on them prior to dying. Couldn't touch the sweet ones as just the smell of sweet things stops me touching them and the savoury complan just has so many memories attached.. Crazy isn't it what brings things back to you but thanks for the suggestions.
I bought some ham yesterday so am going to make some pea and ham soup.
Im seeing the bariatric psychologist regarding my issues with my skin and will mention it to her when i see her. thanks again for the surgestions..
will tey and get over soon

If your weight isn't dropping too much then complan etc isn't necessary. Soup is always a good bet.
Now that my op has been postponed Nic and I are going to look at coming up to your bra night. Not sure if I'll be able to do the drive though.
