Lilu got a reaction from Sleeve tattoo in Did Weight Loss Change Your Marriage?For me it has change it has gotten better. I feel the changed was with me. It took me a long time to find my soul mate. So I think that is very important to know. How strong is your marriage? these are the question you need to ask yourself. Sit down and discuss on what your mate feels about WLS. Explain your feelings. Tell your mate why this is go for you and the marriage.
I was with a man that use to tell me he loved me just the way I was but when I met my husband I told him that I never want to hear those word again. Every body has a problem with something.
So as for me I am happy to have done this for myself. I am having more loving moments with hubby. He can't keep his hands off of me. I walk more and able to do more around the house.
I am finishing off school and going back to work.

Lilu got a reaction from diedie in Has Surgery Changed Anyone's Marriage? Good Or BadIn my opinion a relationship ship built on anything other than love,understanding and the most important thing communication are doom to fail. If you ca call your mate a friend you will be okay. I hae children and the weight lost has hange my marriage in a way that has made my hubby and I happier. Bause we have kids we can't get the amount of alone time that we wish but he trys t do little get aways and we still try out new resturants. Eventhough this is TMI the best thing I am enjoying is my husband. I was the ft one in the relationship and sex ws a big issue, but not anymore.
I am looking forward to the changes in our marriage I am truly blessed he is a soulmate.
So look at the positive things that can happen. You enjoy the energy your going to gain and pray that your hubby can keep up.LOL
Good luck

Lilu got a reaction from Trcyprkr70 in Sex After Weight LossWell I am about four months out and have always had a high sexual want and my hubby was not like me. But once we started having sex again he seems to want me all the time. This was my biggest complaint and we would fight because I thought that he did not love me.
But I now can do the thing I did as a teenager with out the pain of the weight . I also notice I feel him alot more.
This is one of the best things of weight lost, the ability to put your legs around your man or for him to do positions you see on tv is the greats. Fifty shades of grey has nothing on me.
I told hubby we need to make our own porn and he laugh and said what ever you want but I don't want to share you.
We are going to our second honeymoon for my one year goal.
Good luck all glad to hear I am not the only having this experience

Lilu got a reaction from xlr8ahead in Realistic Thoughts To Deal Gastric SurgeryI wish I could read about the truth about having gastric surgery. When you decide to do this there are alot of thoughts about How fast am I going to lose the weight? OMG I think I messed up! Or you have food funnerals. This is not a quick fixes it is a life time commitment. You must truly be ready to change your life if you want to achieve the desire out come. I had to wait a year an six months till I could get the surgery. I found out that at my old wait I was not the healthiest person in the world. I was sadden about news, I cried alot and was fearing about going to the doctor. At my height and weight I was feeling alone. I had family there but that was no confort for me. I was looking for a buddy to go thru this with. When I was post-op some of the advice was just to successful at times. Truthfully I had a hard time after I had my surgery. I could not sleep in my bed at home. I slept in a chair. I could not drink anything or eat anythings for two days after i left hospital. I also caught an infection and return back to hospital.
Now I am two month plus out, and I now hit a stall but I am not worried about that because this is going to be a slow and steady process and when the weight is not coming off the size is getting smaller. I am reaching many mile stones and I am proud of it.
So lets stop depending on everyone else because it is you job to make the correct changes in your life.
This is a tool not a miracle. So if you have a food addiction get it treated first because you are setting your self up for failure.

Lilu got a reaction from MamaBear in Some Truth According To MeI wish I would have been told the following truth;
1. you must practice stop eating and drinking at the same time
2. you must practice chewing your food about 30 chew before you swallow
3. All doctors have different diet plans before surgery
4. to have this surgery you might have to jump thru some hoops depending on your health, insurance, and Doctor
5.I knew this one be very honest about your health issuse your succees depends on it.
After surgery it was going to be another rocky road that you have to travel.
6. Really take it easy and try your best to plan at least a month of rest
7. Plan for set backs that could happen like infection, pain, not being able to move in the diet like others
8. The gas pain is worst than site pain
9. Your brain needs time to catch up with your sleeve and it will take you time to retrain your self to eat.
The last truth I can say right now is we are all different and our bodies react to things very different. Once you get yourself over some humps you will start to feel that you did the right thing to get a handle on your weight issue.
I am about five weeks out and feeling much better, still some bumps with eating but I will get a handle on it.
So good luck to all that are thinking about doing this for themselves you will love it.

Lilu got a reaction from greensthings in Pre-Op Cold Feet - Help! I'm Scared...Well the only thing I can say is, Who are you doing this for? You are working out the pro and con through your dreams! Take a Picture of the look you want and replace the face with yours and Put it on you door and write yourself a letter every nite about the positive things that will be different for you when you lose the weight. My date is April 11th and no cold feet here and a high risk person because of medical reasons.You will do fine and the dreams turn from bad to good. I now dream about me in a two piece bathing suit on the beach in rio.

Lilu got a reaction from Tenna38 in Sleeve Vs. New JobBut in my opinion you should never leave a job in the wrong way always keep your door open to return.
When you give notice just say that you are leaving for health reasons and that is a professional answer to why you are leaving. Wait till you get the job before you leave or give notice being unemployed and looking for a new job is hard.
Good Luck

Lilu got a reaction from 2BThinAlways in Crazy Dreams!Funny since I decided to go on this journey I have beening dream of myself thinner on the beach with a two piece bathing suit. I was able to find a job that gave me a car and best position in the company. And also a high school reunion that I had to pull out a before picture to my old friends. and last night I had a dream that I got the attention of alot of men and my husband was jealous and paying attention to me too. Just dreaming that I walked so proud made me feel good.
