Hi all,

My wife is having her Gastric Sleeve op on 17th September ( a little over 3 weeks) so I thought I would say hello.

I am trying to build a support network to help me help my wife through her journey :-)

Welcome! You are in the right place. i just had my RNY last Monday. I'm in the states, but I imagine there are a lot of similarities. If you guys need anything, feel free to send me a message.

Great to meet me I am in UK and would welcome any questions you have.Pippinleicester.

Welcome!

How fantastic of you to be so supportive of your wife. It will make for a much easier transition to a healthy lifestyle.

I had RNY but can certainly answer questions as well. There are many many supportive people on this site.

Good luck and feel free to reach out.

Welcome Welcome Welcome

England - yet another fine country heard from

you have found a great group

"maybe" your wife would like to join us later??

we don't bite!!!

(most" of us don't )

people on this board will give help/info/suggestions/experience and much SUPPORT

you probably will see other posts with similar questions!!!

at the end of the day

ALWAYS/ONLY listen to your surgeon or nutritionist (we say NUT for short)

they are the ones in the official/medical field know

good luck to wifey september 17th with her surgery (sleeve, gastric bypass, lapband???)

wonderful to have someone that "has your back"

You are aces being "there" for wifey before and after surgery

You win the award for "husband of the day/year"

it is refreshing seeing a supportive/helpful husband

(not forgetting the many OP that have help/support from spouse/family/friend)

A supportive mate is a gift from God. Come here any time. Some of us are up at night, thinkin' when we ought to be sleepin'. Please give your wife a hug from a Scottish lassie in Chicago. (Descended from that murderin' horse thief Sir Godfrey McCulloch - I have spent a lifetime trying to undo his bad Karma on the family).

You will find a lot of support here on the forum.

Hello Gerry, its so wonderful that you want to help your wife like this. Bariatric Pal is a great place to come and discuss anything, from the serious to the fun and silly. Relax, kick off your shoes and chat!

p.s There is a UK group here too, which you may find useful

My hubby was my strongest supporter through my own weight loss journey. He was just great -- never "instructed," but always "supported."

Told me I looked great all the time. Told me how proud he was of me. That was worth so much to me!

Thank you all for your responses :-)

Morning All, I am the wife of the gorgeous unicorn (he really is a rare find!) Thanks for the comments and support - I really appreciate it (as does he).

I have started blogging again - my previous blogs have been fod related, this one is not, yet, it will eventually morph into what I am making once I get past the liquid meals, but it is also what I am thinking etc etce tce. If you get bored it is http://aussiefoodiesjourney.blogspot.co.uk/
