It's easy to get upset at the offending partner when they make comments like that, but honestly take it from someone who's been married for 30 years, it all comes from a place of insecurity and fear of the unknown....for both of you. You need to help her understand that your journey to a healthier you is only going to make you a happier, more fulfilled person, which in turn should make her happy, too. Try to reassure her how important her love and support will mean to you as embark on this new chapter of your lives. After all, change is a normal, contstant part of life, and the strongest relationships can adapt. As far as her not being willing to change her lifestyle, you can't control what she does, only how you react to it. YOU are choosing to do this, not her. Find another support system if need be. As long as she can at least emotionally support you, there's no need for her to change her activity and eating habits if she doesn't want to. My husband didn't, and I did just fine. You will too if you REALLY want to. She may also surprise you and come around.

Im scheduled for a bypass a week and change from now. But im strongly reconsidering. My one surgeon is adamant the bypass is the best option. His partner (off the record) told me no way should I do it. Safe to say im extremely conflicted but i really dont wanna do the bypass Im basically stuck between 3 less than optimal options (including doing nothing)

On day 11 here. Surgery is on Tuesday. I am having a double, large abdominal hernia and the sleeve. Tones bullion has gotten me this far. I only started eating yogurt on Friday. It’s a real treat. Good luck everyone!!

My gastric sleeve is in 10 days. I started stressing over the possibility of a leak. Has anyone here had a leak?

My date is also the 7th! I’m in TN Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I am also scheduled for Dec 5th. A mixture of anxiety and excitement! Good luck to you on your journey.

YOu look beautiful both ways I did too start my journey on my makeup channel. Omg you so funny , I wanted new boobs too I don’t think it will happen either.

aw, but really? We can want what we want and commit to change our lives, but the people with us are effected. I always made great dinners and now you have to make your own dinners -- big game changer, imo. Not enough to dissuade me from surgery, but enough to know to SO's life is going to change and maybe for the worse, at least for 6-12 months.

I am not at a month post RNY just yet and all I have been released to do is walking, and I am doing it for someone who barely got 3000 steps before I am no averaging 5000 so I am pretty proud of myself. My question for all of you is what exercises did you start with? I see a lot of people who say that now they run marathons and are darn near experts at yoga but way back when, when you had just started out what did you do? What was the first thing after walking that you started with and how was it, how did it feel?

Thank you so much for your feedback. I really appreciate it!
