my wife has noticed ; )

your medicine and stick to the diet

awesome

good luck

I don't want to focus on the cleaning but the marriage part. Have you talked to him about how you feel? Have you considered counseling? He has a new person he is married to and he may feel insecure or jealous of the person you have become. I am lucky that my weight loss has helped motivate my already beautful wife to get physically fit. Granted I started at 305 and her at 145 but either way we have taken this journey to health as a family journey. Please feel free to email and talk but I suggest you talk and be open to his feelings too. Good luck, praying for you

my wife wants it all the time now so i guess she sees the difference in me too.

wow

sugar free pudding, cream soups, fat free yogurt, fat free cottage cheese, boiled carrots

awesome

wow that is much different than my instructions. So far so good for me.

That is much different then the diet plan my doctor had. I was: Clear liquids day 1-3 Liquids day 4-14 Puree weeks 3-5 Solids but slowly introduce week 6 I have had no adjustments yet. Trade that sucker for a sugar free one. Also are you drinking fluids 1 hour before and after meals? only 3 meals per day? Thats another thing he insisted on. I have followed my Dr to a tee and had no issues

I was a self pay and my wife was very supportive. We have 2 young children and decided adding years to my life with my wife and kids is better than any vacation or home improvement project we could have spent the money on. I lost 51 pounds in 10 weeks. My life has changed for the better. I have more energy, can do more with kids, no longer have sleep apnea, my BP is the best its ever been and i am confident in myself. $$$ is tough to part with but nothing is more important than a healthy life together. Good luck with your decision and keep in touch. Jay

i was out only 3 days but i work in an office. Just be careful not to push especially lifting. Good luck with your journey. I am 10 weeks post surgery down 51 pounds and feeling better than ever.

i have lost 46 in 10 weeks after surgery

I agree that eating soups, sugar free pudding, fat free yogurt. I also traveled in week 3 and i did tell people and everyone was not only happy for me, but more than willing to help accomodate my needs. Your making a life changing decision for the better. Be proud and walk with your head high. A positive attitude and confidence is so important through this to be successful. Good luck

what did they give you for a diet? First 2 weeks i was on liquids only then week 3-5 was puree. I mostly ate fat free yogurt, pudding, cream of wheat, tuna, low sodium Soup, popsicles I lost 35 pounds in first 5 weeks. What kind of liquid calories are you consuming? I also only drink Water, Vitamin water or coffee with splenda and skim milk

now lol

i was ready the same day lol. I can tell you 6 plus weeks out my wife has to swat me off her. LOL

awesome. you will do great, write if you have q's or support.

Great job my friend!!!

I had it done on 2/17. I can feel myself full first on liquids then puree quick. I have lost 35 pounds in the 4 weeks and go in for my first post op on 3/26. Can keep you posted

i flew the week after surgery

Try to start from scratch again. Go back to week 1 and do cler liquids only, then liquids, then puree. Get OUT of the house. this will eliminate temptation. Go find a walking track. Go to the mall with a bottle of water and no money or debit card. Find a partner in this. You can do it. Its a mind game that your allowing yourself to lose. Send me an email when your struggling. I would be happy to help. You can do this. The biggest thing you said is: You a MOM. Don't miss your childs precious moments because your dead. Sounds cold but that was the reality check for me. Jay
