Relationship issues after surgery?
NewKristen replied to Dreamingofhealth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I agree! We have been married for 21 years. Ran off an eloped at 18 because he enlisted in the USAF. We raised two children, and I feel like if you can make it through raising kids without killing each other, you're golden! -

I don't think we have much fast food to get excited about! There isn't anything fast food I miss, anyways. -
Well..that is one definition of self love! Speaking of love...I have an Australian love! His name is Tonka and he is a sugar glider. Best friend a girl could ask for!

What were the other two? My favorite American chain is "Texas Roadhouse!" Yum!!! We do a lot of smoking meat around here. -

Yeah, Famous Dave's is pretty good stuff. They serve one of their "feast" meals, that feeds 5-6 people, on a trash can lid. How can you not love a restaurant that serves food on a trash can lid?!?! -

I almost talked myself out of Zumba...I was so tired and I had already worked out at lunch! Glad I didn't, though. I felt so much better after! Zumba is a fun way to work out! Especial with friends! Thanks for all the encouragement! -
It will be worth it! Remember what you just did to your body! It just takes some time!

Love!

Oh...how can anyone rate Laura-Ven a 1-star? They must have thought 1 star was the best! -

Ain't that the truth! Although I am not sure if you mean your bank account is better off or worse. Ours is better off...my husband and I were eating out all the time!! It is crazy how much we are saving now! -

Relationship issues after surgery?
NewKristen replied to Dreamingofhealth's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think the fact that you are already aware that WLS is hard on relationships will help preserve your relationship. I was watching lifetime one night and there was a show on called Unfaithful, I think. Or maybe it was on OWN. Anyways, this show told the story of this girl who had gastric bypass. She gained a lot of confidence, and then started cheating on her husband. The show flashed a statistic that said 80% of all WLS patients who were married at the time if surgery, will get a divorce. It freaked me out. I decided then and there I would do everything to preserve my marriage. I know I am physically and emotionally changing. But my husband is, too. I expect him to be kind and supportive of everything I am going through, so I should absolutely be the same to him. I have seen so many friends lose weight, and all of a sudden think they are too good for their spouse. I just don't get that. This man loved me and made me feel beautiful at my heaviest. How could I ever outgrow him?!?! So again..,I think the fact that you already place such a high importance on your relationship will help carry you through! -
Don't let it freak you out! Usually if they need to cath you for surgery, they do it when you are asleep.

Ha!!! I know exactly what you mean.

My surgeon used surgi strips, but in see a lot of people on here talking about staples. How did your surgeon close your incisions?

Mine came off my face and stomach initially. Wishing my thighs would catch up! Although I am happy, because I don't have a saggy chin and I lost so much off my face! -

I ate Orange Leaf within the first couple of weeks. I was having a hard time getting anything down one day and we went into town for something (I live in the country)...so we stopped there and I got some NSA. I got down maybe 2 tablespoons. I didn't get sick and even felt a little better with something in my stomach. That was the only time I did it. -
Me too! I sat at dinners out several times on the liquid phase of my diet without issue. And after I watch other people pig out and eat a massive plate of food...what did I miss? Being miserable and bloated??
