I want my husband to do it with me but he doesn't want to give up beer and food.... which you have to sever your relationship with food. Do you guys have a YouTube???My wife was determined to get the surgery but i wasnt on board for me until my back went out again and went to back surgeon who said if i didnt get weight off surgery would be pointless on my back as would happen again. So that made up my mind. My wife chose gastric bypass, i went with gastric sleeve so if i wanted in moderation to have a beer or some fries etc i could and not get dumping syndrome.. So your husband "could" in theory enjoy some of his favorite items down the road as treats in moderation, but my relationship with food has changed for sure. I eat much healthier choices now, but also not afraid to have some treats. Like every diet in the world, its all about calorie intake and how much you burn. So if i have a treat or drink, i still try and stay under my daily calorie total. Even if you read my horror story and what i went thru post op, im an advocate to others to get the wls surgery and improve their health. Was still worth it for me. Good luckWhere do I read your story?Not sure how to paste it but you can search by posts made by me.. Will be one with over a 100 comments. I think titled prayers needed or something started late last yearI tried to find it but couldn't. Oh well. Did you have bypass? http://BariatricPal.com/index.php?/topic/325654-Heading-back-to-ER-again,-prayers-please

look at you!! Beautiful!! Do you have any success tips? I'm feeling very discouraged..I had the sleeve in June..I'm losing on an average between 7-8 lbs per month..would you say that is normal? And losing tons of hair..help! I only average losing 4 to 5 lbs a month the last 6 months or so. My surgery was last November. I am not to concerned at rate of loss. Its a lifestyle change, so as long as i know i am eating right the weight will slowly come off until it levels out at some point. I am down from 308 to 186. 1 more pound and I will be happy to be "overweight" lol as my BMI will be under 30 froma high of 50 moving me from obese to overweight. Only we understand that becoming "overweight" is a big milestone. Others would think thats not good lol
