My husband filed for divorce. I really think because he was so miserable and saw how happy and more confident I felt, he just couldn't stand it. Misery loves company. Although he was supportive of the surgery we lost a common bond, food. I decided I was not going to keep our morbid obesity suicide pact. Maybe that is all we had. Who knows. He is Severly MO and I really did not care if he had the surgery or not. He went through all the tests, but decided at the same time as the divorce not to go through with it. Coincidence? maybe. I know it gets tiring when family and friends hear about the surgery constantly. I try not to say anything anymore. Food is such a social activity to most people that it is almost like we have cut ourselves off from that part of their lives, like we are rejecting them. Some people understand, some do not. Having this surgery did not destroy my marriage it did however make it a heck of a lot easier to start over. Good marriages will get better (even if there are a few bumps in the road) and not-so-good or bad marriages will get worse.

As you can see from all the other post's there does seem to be a wall. I seem to have hit it face 1st! I have seen a size change since I have been geting in my exersize. I was a tight 12 but now I am a very comfortable 12 and able to fit a few 10's. I have never ever ever been a 12 or a 10 my entire life. Stay strong and you will start losing again. Melissa

John ~ same thing. She may be seeing you in a whole new way. You just have to ride the wave. Find ways to reassure her that she is your sweetheart. My only support group at home is my teenage son, bless his heart. He tries really hard to be supportive and is doing a wonderful job, although he grumbles a bit now and then too. *I* do not want to go to McDonalds. *I* do not want to go to Pizza Hut. Our loved ones become afraid that others are looking at us they way that they look at us. I really think they get insecure, even afraid. It makes sense.

I have the very same problem. I hate the plateaus and the seem to be frequent. I have finally reached 70 lbs. Now if I can just keep it going, I will be so happy. I only have 50 left to go!!!!

Is anyone starting to consider plastic surgery yet?Is it too early? I am down 75lbs now from 225 to 150.My size has gone from 20 to an 8 (some 6's).I am happy with the size even tho my initial goal was getting down to 135.I am considering the possibility of a tummy tuck.I have some loose skin on my arms and legs but I can live with that and hopefully over time with exercise that will improve.My stomach however I think will need more help.Is it standard to have this done after WLS? Good luck all! Colleen
