Prayers up!!!

day 4 and I felt good. one week out and I felt wonderful- if I did not have incisions I'd never know I had procedure. for the last few days I've felt sluggish one day then full of energy the next. Congrats! Sounds like you are doing great!

I had surgery one day after you and I was 227 at surgery two weeks i went down to 208 been stuck at 208 for weeks ... scales not moving anymore... what do you mean you were resleeved also was curious how or why you had sleeve surgery twice.. from what i read it's normal to stall and in my mind I think we'll I know I'm not eating enough calories to stay at 208 so the scale is gonna have to start moving again eventually ... looking on bright side maybe skin is tightening while I'm waiting lol... would be cool to keep in touch since we had surgery at same time... what is your start weight and current weight..

Yeah I have to do a pre-op class before getting it done. Good luck to you!!!

Thanks. It has been very rough. Looking forward to hopefully keeping down food after the revision. But, honestly, nervous about another surgery with more potential risks/complications. I am praying everything goes well for us both!

DS, get real -- most people would be angry if a spouse became disabled. If I was the disable spouse, I'd be angry. If I was the healthy spouse, I'd be angry. All of their long-term plans are to the wind. They have financial crisis. Spouse #2 works all day, comes home and has to tend to children and now spouse #1 who chose elective surgery. What sort of saint-like humans are they supposed to be? There are no unicorns pooping rainbows in that household right now. @Thom I, too, have a disability -- a slowly progressive muscular dystrophy. I, too, am choosing bariatric surgery to lessen my long-term deterioration. I have a brother with the same condition as me who worked successfully for a 30-year career and now he's retired in his early 50s. I Can retired at any time, too -- I'm thinking about before my surgery. I have a cousin with the same inherited condition who didn't make good decisions, and has been on govt disability for a decade. When he moves to SS, his income will be in tatters. Its not an education thing -- I'm a PE, but both my brother and cousin never graduated college. One chose to work, the other looked for a way not to work . I would urge you to find a suitable job and contribute meaningfully to your family. You may think you are too nauseous to cook for your kids, but billions of women time immemorial have done this while nauseous and pregnant.

What should you do ? No one can tell you that. But I wanted to say I'm so sorry for what your dealing with. Emotional abuse can happen to men as well as women so I want you to know this is serious and unacceptable. And I'm not sure why she's treating you this way only she knows. And I also don't want to guess or find reasons to excuse her behaviour. Does she know the impact of her behaviour has on you ? Being so soon post op it is an emotional rollercoaster without the added insults from someone it's terrible. Your not alone here we are all hear to listen.

have you had a medical work up lately? I'd be concerned about things like diabetes if I was drinking a lot and still thirsty.
