Greetings and congratulations on your upcoming surgery. WLS is a change for both you and your immediate family, some will embrace the new you....some won't.
My situation was the latter, my husband (now divorced) was not comfortable with the new me. I was getting smaller, eating healthier, my self confidence improved and he just couldn't handle it. Hopefully, your significant other will be on the same page, and if not...will be on the same page after a good heart to heart.
Wishing you much success!
Whereas I agree with the others that posted, I do want to add that WLS is a process, a new healthy way of eating and exercise. It's important for both you and your spouse
to be on the same page, with goals for a lifetime change. The process is beautiful when your spouse is supportive. Good luck to you on a successful surgery and continued happiness with your spouse.
Ditto to Kyzze post! Praying for an uneventful surgery for you. Take care and keep us posted.
Hey "old timer"...it's been years and I trust all is well with you. I'm good...still in the "struggle" but have the knowledge of knowing what I have to do to get back on the grind.
Take care...Ms. Praise
If she loves you and she is the one, then there should not be any changes between you two. Wish you the best!

What unexpected things have you experienced with your spouse or significant other while going through this process? I am scheduled for surgery in one week. I'm a little nervous about changes with me and my lady.
Hey,
Thanks for the "MeatTest" suggestion! Just what I needed to get back to low-carb! Although I kept trying to eat low carb I would always cheat and let the carbs creep in! But doing the 5 day Meat Test which is basically no carbs, after 2 days I found I was not hungry and actually extended it to about 8 days, then coming off not eating more than 30 carbs a day. In the interim I lost about 6 lbs and am now back to where I was at my lowest. Although I can do extremes for short periods I still have a problem with any kind of moderation long term which I know is essential for this journey. Anyway, I'm sticking with the low carbs, find myself not very hungry, have energy and haven't had a low blood sugar episode! Again, thanks!

I reside in NC and am looking for a surgeon that does the Apollo Overstitch procedure. Please advise me if anyone is aware of a surgeon within 5oo miles.
How effective is the Overstitch procedure for those who've had one?
i love premier protein chocolate is the best and sometimes i warm mine up in the microwave. Im 4 years out beginning july 12th.
T,
You are right--I am gradually bring the daily calories down. My PCP wants me to decrease my calories gradually. Right now, I am doing 1500 for June. If all goes well and my PCP gives me the OK, I will drop down to 1200-1300 for the month of July.
I've checked out the five day meat test--looks like my daily meals already. Meat, cheese and yogurt.
So far, I've lost 2 pounds so I am not complaining too much.
Thanks for the advice.
