My children 11 boy and 14 girl knew during the period I was considering. My mother died at 66 while we were visiting. They are old enough to remember her and get that my choice is to be healthier. When considering, I was terrified I would have to give up coffee. My daughter took my hand and did Mom, lets look it up. She sat with me as I researched that and the surgeon.
My husband and I have discussed this thread. He said if I leave him for somebody else that is fine as long as I am happy. He then added that my new man would have to accept him camping in our backyard because he will never leave me.
My dad paid for the non-insurance part. This was really his idea. He wants me to live longer.
So I email him my summaries for lose it. I announce to the kids and hubby each milestone. Everyone cheers me along.
Friday, I sat with my ex when he was picking up the kids. I had told them not to tell him except I had surgery. 1 week post op and down 21 at the time, I shared the truth, and told him how much the kids are probably worried about his health. I planted the seed of what recovery and financing looks like. He likely weighs close to 400. I hope he makes a decision that will bring him to health so he can live for his kids. I also hope he finds a partner someday. The kids worry about that too.
The kids are paying more attention to their health, and today I am down 24. I made the right decision for me and my loved ones. Now it is up to me to work with my band and have success with this second chance at life.

I met my hubby at 18... I was FINE FINE. We went our own ways for 20 years and got married 4 years ago.. he still loved me 100 lbs Heavier. He is quietly supportive of the WLS. I love him and we have never been happier. I wouldn't mind if men flirted more, and I don't worry about my straying eyes. Even at this weight I have guys trying to flirt. Not tempted at all.

It takes several fills to get lasting restriction. The first few days is swelling and irritation. Then the band settles in. I've had five fills and I have 7.60 cc in my 14cc band. I just had 0.1 put in yesterday. I was thinking I was in the green zone but after about two months of that level I felt I could try a tiny bit more. So this is truly an experiment now. Lasting satiety is the goal. Four hours between Protein meals.

Got my first fill. The first couple of days I could feel restriction... now nothing. 3cc. I am managing to eat well now. Was at 28 loss.. went back up to 24... now at 27. So frustrated... worried this was all for nothing... this loss is great... but I have such a long way to go...

Getting my first fill today. I was sooo hungry yesterday. It really was the first day I remembered my eating life before surgery. Hungry all the time!!!
