Marriage & Lap Band Results

My husband is my #1 cheerleader as he has always been with all my weight loss solutions. But I feel deep down inside the weight loss will affect our marriage because he loves my curves. When I meet my husband I weighed 185 and after dating I weighed 236. Five months after we got married I found out I was pregnant and had a horrible pregnancy I lost and gained weigh so much after the baby was born I weighed 205. But my daughter is now 2 years old and durning that time the most i've weighed was 279 pounds I am now 262 pounds but I believe it's because I elimaninated fast food and soda's from my intake. But I know the weight will come back as it has in the past but I wanted to know how do married couples deal with such a issue. Since it is like being with someone new (physically) and the attraction from others will soon happen. How do you handle or deal with such a good problem "weight loss"?

  • I have to say it, although i know i shouldnt, obesity is not "curves" . That is not what a norml, healthy woman is meant to be. Curves and healthy weight are not mutually exclusive. So...i get tat a m

    My husband misses some of my curves but agrees that the overall benefits are definitely worth it.

My fiance and I have been together 14 years.... And when we started dating I was 150lbs.... Before surgery I was 273.... Between that time I gained and lost weight like a yo-yo.... I would lose 40 lbs and then gain 50 back... Many times we discussed my weight... He is a very honest person and won't lie to me to make me happy, so it crushed me the day he told me he wasn't "attracted" to me anymore.... Not that he didn't love me, but he worried more about my health then enjoyed looking at me. It wasn't really until that day I realized how large I had gotten.

When I decided to look into lapband he was 100% behind me... He even helped me research it... Would look into success/ fail ratios, what you need to do before,during, and after surgery and weight loss... Before I even walked into the Dr's office for my first consultation, I knew exactly what I was getting into and was very excited!

now 2 months after my surgery and 30 lbs gone, I have more confidence, feel sexier.... And the best thing is every day he tells me how much he is loving my new body... I believe that people are attracted by looks at the beginning... But after a period of time people are attracted to personaliti, and the physical you is just an added bonus.

As long as you are happy in your new body, you will give off the sense that you ARE sexy, and confident.... Even If you don't have as many curves.... And your husband will feed off of your attitude.... IMO...

Good luck with everything!! Hope this helped...
