As some have said the divorce rate after surgery is high.
Not necessarily because someone has more confidence... there's MANY Factors...
But you can take a person, have them lose a significant amount of weight, and not expect THINGS to change.
Here's some of the things... there's a lot more
- WL person has more energy and wants to do more. Spouse hasn't changed and so a separation begins
- Spouse becomes jealous ... either they can't lose weight, or of other people.. or hundreds of different reason for them o be jealous
- WL person is getting more attention and not sure how to handle it
- Change of interest from WL individual.
- biggest. Non communication about the issues and feelings of the changes the WL person is having.
PLEASE.. if you are thinking of having surgery or just had surgery. Get counseling. Make sure your spouse and you have a good head on your shoulders. If problems come up, get yourself to counseling before things escalate.

I just posted the same topic again !!! I feel your pain !!!
You're not alone !
Big Hugs !
Fluctuating on the same 3 pounds for about 5 weeks now

What these guys said up above !! And don't be discouraged ! Your sleeve won't fail you. It takes effort to mess up your sleeve. And if you ever get into that mood again, go look at the veterans board or general sleeve board. These people went through all the same crazy stuff we are going through and they are having phenomenal results. You will make it through ! You got this !!!

OMG !!! I found my group !!!! I am 2 1/2 months from surgery and I have been in a stall since Thanksgiving as well !!! These past 3 / 4 weeks have been torture! I've bounced between 2 to 3 pounds for 3 almost 4 weeks. I have had some major NSVs.. but the scale... oh the damn scale! Please move. Especially since it's hovering between 250 and 252. I want to permanently break that 250 mark !!!
Thank you guys for posting your story and letting me know that there are others !!!
HUGS !

@@stephh I got the ability today. So tomorrow I go to the gym
@ - I have an iPhone 6 and it monitors my walking and the health app and my fitness pal all talk to each other. If I log into MFP it will take I walked so far and earned so many calories. As far as devices. I'm waiting for the apple watch with the heart rate monitor. That will go great with my iPhone. Just my preference

I think it was more taste. It satisfied my taste and just didn't want any more. I'm still learning that "full feeling" Right now I eat too much and get the stuck in the throat feeling.. ugh.
But the pork rind went well !!! Now to log this into my fitness pal ! chellede11 if you want to follow me

@@Peekboo ::: dancing around like a fool ::: I"m so happy for your 20 lbs !!!!! WTG !!! Congratulations !!!
Kathy - call em, ask.. LOL It was weird though. I had one and said.. hmm, okay, I don't want any more.
Papi - I just had one .. waiting to see... seems everything is okay

Pork rinds, I want them !!! Anyone try them yet? I know many post op people eat them. My sweet tooth has traded in for a Salty and Hot tooth. I swear if proscuitto wasn't $28 a pound, I would buy that stuff in bulk ! My diet is thin ham and cheese.. and anything I can put hot sauce on. Crazy ! And it's cold here ! I want my love of coffee back ! I can't even stand the smell !
Okay, I'm done with a bariatric babbling for a bit Hope you enjoyed the craziness of Chelle today

I"m doing well thank you !!!!
Susan, check your email.. I tried to add you but it said you were already added...
ME !! ME !! - where are you that you also have Mootopia ??????? That's the best fortified milk ever !!!!!!!! Thanks for the recipes !! It sounds like you are doing fantastic !! So proud of you !
and yeah.. Smoothie King! There's several down the street. I might have to treat myself !!!!!!!
