I dont know what the original post was but if he said it was the easy way out - he is dead wrong. After my surgery I looked at my husband after vomiting violently right after having surgery on my stomach and told my husband "This is so hard - nobody ever tell me this is the easy way out cause this is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through." They don't get it if they have not been through it. I mean my husband would not say that but I would say that my husband doesnt totally get it either cause it was not his body experiencing the pain. Sorry you had a bad night with the hubby.

Have your husband wait 6 months of not smoking. I would change surgeons and have them do an endoscopy on your husband to see what his stomach looks like. If still no approval - get a loan for surgery in Mexico.

I just had my revision done on 9/25. I did a two week liquid diet and was in the hospital for two overnights. Surgery only took 1.5 hrs. My surgeon said there was minimal scar tissue and my liver had nicely shrunken so it made it go faster. I work from home and was able to start working again by the end of the week but only for a few hours. Last week I worked all week but had to take breaks and nap in the afternoon. Today is my first day back full time and so far I have a ton more energy. I even went back to my morning walks although only 2 miles today instead of my usual 3.

Having my surgery 10/10! Excited and nervous

It's so crazy how everyone's body and VSG differ. I had mine 10/03 and am down 15.6 lbs since the 1st. 9 of those lbs. are after the procedure. I try to get at least 5,000 steps in from my daily 10,000. I get too tired to do anything else. I cannot wait to get in the gym. Sent from my SM-G920P using BariatricPal mobile app

I just had egd last week. It was a breeze. It was the best sleep I've had in years. The prep for test is worse than the exam. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app

I cruise Pinterest for craft ideas. I love painting with alcohol ink on washers and make necklaces- just type in alcohol ink washer necklace and you'll see. It's so much fun and cheap. You can mix the colors like paint so you don't have to go crazy buying too many supplies. I'll post some pics when I pull them out for the craft fair next week. You have to seal them with acrylic seller though. Mich W Hw 223, SW 217 CW 179.8 GW 135

This isn’t a active/physical type of hobby but I am into painting rocks. It’s an offshoot of the Kindness Rocks project. I paint rocks, then hide them around town. I’ve yet to find my first one, but find that painting them is relaxing and a lot of fun. And it keeps my mind off food.

Man, that dude is sad. He really doesn't have your back. How can someone who loves you actually talk like that? Easy way out....You know what is the easy way out? Having a friggin metabolism that allows you to stay thin while eating burgers, fries, pizza, candy, etc. Never having to look at the scale and decide, I'm only going to have water instead of the friggin beer that everyone else will be drinking at the party. As a matter of fact, the easy way out would be to say, "f** it! I don't care about my health. I don't care about my looks. I am just going to eat what I want, and drink what I want, and everyone can just Kiss My a**!" Tell him that the next time he wants to be intimate, you already took the easy way out, and took care of yourself. Then tell him to do the same. I'm a guy, and probably breaking man code, but damn!

Quest protein bars are good! I got a sample pack online and they have them at target or sprouts too. Could you find other protein powders? I like Inspire protein powders from bariatriceating.com. Icannot stand the premier protein anymore.
