I am having the surgery. I have talked about it extensively with my husband and I want to be around for my kiddos.

You have to decide for yourself and do this for yourself. Do you really want to be healthier? Do you want to be more active? Do you want to stave off diseases that come with obesity? Stick to your decision.

I'm rooting for you! I hope everything turns great and you can soon experience all the benefits of WLS.

And WE are all blessed reading your story, I'm praying only Good Things are yours from this day forward. Your 30s are going to be the 20s you never had; and now you are facing forward into a Good Future! Keep us all updated as time moves forward.👍😝

Hey y'all. So I'm 6 months post op and my husband is 3-5 months away from surgery. And I need advice from the veterans. Anyone go through this with your partner. We don't eat the best and like most overweight couples are each other's worst enablers. We don't like to say no to the other and sometimes it's just easier to grab fast-food. What advice do you have for us. I'd love to meal prep but our freezer is kinda small and almost always filled to capacity. I know we should probably anex the ready to eat things and spend a day cooking. But it does seem like tons of work so hellllllp Sent from my moto e5 play using BariatricPal mobile app

We are here to support you Don't feel bad, you recognized the slip and that’s what’s important. We are all in this for the long haul. Be consistent not perfect.

Is your current plan working for you? If it is then I would assume it will work for your husband. And while I plan and prep as far as having healthy food in the house I don’t necessarily ever spend a whole day cooking. Almost anything I make has leftovers for multiple meals. Example: I make an omelette for breakfast I always make it 2 eggs and with the fillings it’s always enough for 2 days. Lunch - tuna salad and it’s lunch for 4 days Dinner tonight is chicken kabobs and roasted zucchini. Depending on how much my family eats I’m pretty sure I’ll have leftovers for dinner or lunch tomorrow. It takes some forthought and planning but nothing overwhelming. And who knows? You and your husband may find you LOVE cooking and prepping together! It actually sounds like a great time 👍🏻

I had my sleeve done on December 10th. I had/have a lot to lose but I've lost 70 pounds since my surgery date Sent from my SM-S767VL using BariatricPal mobile app

For me it was a trade off. I was still curved. Also the excess skin went into my bra - the result was still curved. The healthy me cared less about my breast size. Declaimed - I went for plastics.
