I think the only thing people will notice are your amazing boobs LOL. Mine totally went South after WLS. You look stunning, I would recommend finding a good seamstress and have something custom made out of compression material. Good luck on your new life.

I'm afraid if I get a Tummy Tuck, it would have to be tucked up so far, I'd end up with a beard

Look for Ladies Monkey Butt powder, it really helps with chafing. If you can't find it in stores, it's available on Amazon. Besides it's a funny name to say :). Good luck on your journey.

I did in the beginning, I'm now 18 months out and have a good feel for how much I need/am eating.

I'm a gastric bypass patient (18 months out) I'm able to use Tylenol (approved by my surgeon and NUT) with no issues whatsoever. I went with this procedure because I had diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and an irregular heart rate. All of these issues have resolved themselves :).

Boy, I sure do feel sorry for your husband, he deserves better...

Hmm, I have never heard about bypass precluding you from Tylenol. Certainly you should not use NSAIDs, but I'm not so sure about Tylenol. I would double-check that with your Surgeon.
I did find this answer from a MD when asked about Tylenol:
Motrin is categorized as an Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) and these type of drugs are known to cause ulcers. Other NSAIDs include Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, Celebrex, Naproxen, Ibuprofen, just to mention a few. I would highly advise against them after GBP. In most cases Tylenol should be fine, but consult with your doctor about it.
I had both Diabetes and High Blood Pressure before my VSG, but the sleeve seems to have fixed that.

I only track Protein grams and fluids. As long as I follow my NUT recommendations the carbs take care of themselves. I just can't get into micro-managing my food intake. There is more to life than worrying about every little bite going into my mouth.

This is how I feel about it too. I'm way too busy to micro manage everything going in my mouth as well. I have little kids, a job, a husband, a kitchen renovation going, volunteer work at church, etc. no way will I be measuring everything. I will listen to my stomach as I said previously.
If people need to weigh/measure everything than that's great, if that's what gets them through. This is not intended to offend anyone, this is my PERSONAL opinion. If you don't like it, I'm sorry, but I believe weighing/measuring everything will be a crutch to REALLY listening to my body on my own. I will not judge anyone for doing it, I just won't do it myself.

That is how I feel about it as well.

Good job on preparing and losing the weight. It is amazing how fast our medical issues decrease or cease to exist. The hard part is making sure we change our maladaptive eating habits so we don't regain the excess weight we had. Our minds can really do a number on us. Keep eating healthy and don't let your head hunger get ya. CONGRATS!

So I ended up having surgery 3/15 and it was extremely tough in the beginning BUT I am down 38 pounds and am feeling so much better! I don't think anyone should rush into this decision. It took me 6 months to complete Insurance appointments and I am so grateful for that time - because I researched everything I possibly could about the surgery. Oh and since surgery I am no longer on my blood pressure meds or using my cpap.

Absolutely!! Only regret ... not doing it sooner!

Without a doubt, best thing I have ever done for myself and my loved ones

I'm 18 months out and am able to tolerate/enjoy both. I did wait until I was about 4 months out to introduce them back in to my diet.

I second the above comment, no one on this earth in a marriage, a commitment made before god, deserves to be played with or treated that way. Over and over again, it made me sad for your husband, your actions were so selfish! Just to boost your ego your tore down the man who would take a bullet for you, for 22 year old that was getting a nut off let's be real, for you to be that old there's no excuse for your actions you know better your married, the 22 year old could careless about you, your marriage or your husband. Your lucky, it could have turned out tragic people get killed playing with people's heart. I'm sorry for the long rant but damn yes it feels good to get attention, but I wouldn't dare cross that line my man is way to good and doesn't deserve that. I hope you truly get the help you need, and if you truly can't be faithful let your husband find what he deserves. Good luck

2017 could it be, a new me? yaaaass please!

I think fantasizing about other people is perfectly fine. But if one feels compelled to take it a step further and cheat, or try other things, they should examine the relationship they're in, presuming it's monogamous. Monogamy isn't natural anyways. But, when one marries a person, whether you want to call it a religious bonding or a contract, it's something to be 100% honest about, with yourself and your partner. There's nothing wrong per se with that desire to be with other people, but it would be fair to the partner to end the relationship first. Rest assured if my wife had cheated on me (and I caught it or she told me), that would have broken our marriage contract and that would have been the end of it, no questions asked. Likewise, if I ever felt compelled to be with anyone else I'd tell her first. Don't see it as an issue really.. while we've been married 7 years, I'm perfectly happy and apparently so is she. While it's commendable OP (who may be gone after this post which was done like 8 months ago) found a way to counselling after cheating, if I was the guy I'd not have bothered. If one is willing to try out other fish in the sea it's only fair the other person have that chance as well, and since I'm not willing to cheat in a relationship I entered into with a sole person, only makes sense to break it off.

Boy, I sure do feel sorry for your husband, he deserves better...
