My Dr said ok to go at 4 weeks!

I wish you well, I am 13 weeks post gastric bypass and still have issues drinking plain water, but flavored water is good and I can drink as much as I need. Of course it is sugar free flavoring. Good Luck!

So sorry to hear about your experience. I am also surprised that it was not mandatory for you to see a cardiologist. I had every test known to man before my surgery but that was an insurance requirement. You are lucky that they did stop as I had several people and family tell me about people who died during bypass surgery. They were just concerned for me, but it does make you think about what could happen. Good luck and I hope the surgeon gives you a break on the next operation.

I also forgot no more CPAP my sleep apnea is resolved as well.

Only 13 weeks post OP so here is my take at this point. My health issues are all resolved! No diabetes, no High Blood Pressure, NO Kidney Disease! I do not dread flying for my job now as I fit in the seat and even if a larger person is sitting next to me it's not a problem! Before this was a problem. I am still in the honeymoon phase but I do not miss food and do not have hunger! I am not looking forward to when/if I regain my hunger. That was the most strange thing for me to get used to. Eating was and is a chore with no hunger to let you know it is time to eat. LOL. Also getting to know the "tells" that your body lets you know when it is time to stop eating are interesting. I either get small burps, hiccups, or my nose starts running. It is all good as of now, but I am somewhat obsessed with my diet and exercise. Good Luck!

George, Good for you, but I will tell you that even with your positive attitude it will still be the most stress you have ever had, but there is life after divorce. Be strong, keep your good attitude, and take care of your son as she will not make it easy once she sees you are willing to leave her! Take it slow on the dating scene and do not rush into a relationship just because someone is attracted to you. I did that because my first wife had me so insecure about myself. You are correct in your summary that your wife does not like the new more confident you! When my marriage fell apart I was on a very high note with my career and she tried to tear me down at every opportunity. I also was losing weight with the success of my career and the renewed confidence and those things combined gave her insecurity and I saw real hatred directed at me. I also could not believe that someone I loved with all my heart could try to destroy me. In the end I had to find leave the relationship for my own good and you know that once I was free of her it felt like chains were taken off of me! Good luck and remember there is someone out there for everyone, just proceed slowly.

George you look great man! Deep down you know that everything you went through to get healthy you did for you and your family. So your wife is not happy with herself and doing all these things to lash out at you. It is her insecurity and she is trying to make you think it's all your fault. Regrettably I know from personal experience with a divorce 12 years ago that this is a way the other person rationalizes what they are doing to you by trying to get you into a place where you think you are crazy or ugly or fill in the blank... The bad part is that when you are going through it that you actually start to think they are right, but it is just a tactic to justify their actions. Hang in there you have done a lot of tough work to get to where you are (looking and feeling good about yourself) so do not let her get you into that place where it seems she wants to put you. Good luck and keep moving forward!
