12g of Protein won't keep you from losing weight. I'd say cut him some slack. Sent from my iPad using VST

Justine13- I wish you hadn't deleted this post. I got it by email because of my subscription settings, and it was a GREAT post-very honest, and I think it mirrors how a lot of us feel. I definitely understand the idea that we can be a little hesitant and worried about how we will behave and what we will do with the new confidence we gain through the sleeve/weight loss process. I would definitely encourage you to repost what you had written if you feel comfortable-I think it will help a lot of people. Sent from my iPad using VST

This is an outstanding post! I am still 3 weeks pre-op, and I wondered how people could have "buyer s remorse", but you did a great job of explaining it, and I understand better now. Thanks! Sent from my iPad using VST

I couldn't imagine not telling my wife something like this, even if I thought she would be critical. The longer you lie, the worse it'll be, I would think. Sent from my iPad using VST

I haven't read about your issues in prior posts, but I suspect you may find this is all for the best in the long run. Sent from my iPad using VST

The author used the word "fatties"?! Wtf? That passes for journalism? Sent from my iPad using VST

We've been eating this-its great! Sent from my iPad using VST

Yes. Nobody is mocking these wives-at most, the group is responding to the callous thoughtlessness and disrespect indicated of their husbands. We are assuming the truth as described. If these stories are inaccurate, then our advice does not apply. At the very least, it remains absolutely true that no one deserves to be treated as they have said they have been treated.

Good for you, Vixkey! Life is too damn short to waste any of it on someone who you KNOW is wrong for you. I think you have or will learn that you absolutely do have worth, and deserve the person you want-not the person that happens to just be there or wants you. You have the power to choose-use it wisely. Sent from my iPad using VST

I think just about every one of us here will tell you that being overweight is just a symptom of something going on in our emotional lives. I know exactly what you are going through as I did the same thing when I got the lapband 5 years ago (it/I wasn't successful). I have started therapy so that when I do get sleeved next month I will have a better idea of exactly what the emotional issues are that I am trying to address by eating. I want to be successful this time, and for the rest of my life. Perhaps you should consider some therapy to discover what it is that is making you eat when and what you know intellectually is bad for you and counter-productive. Sent from my iPad using VST

Yeah, I'm sure there's a logical, caring reason why a spouse would throw a bunch of candy bars on his recently-sleeved wife's lap. Sent from my iPad using VST

Yep, I called and was told that everything is on schedule, and that I will get an email about 2 weeks before the surgery. I told them I'm available if they get a cancellation How are you doing? Sent from my iPad using VST

How many times do you have to read that the surgery was the best thing the person could have done for him/her self? If you can lose the weight and keep it off without surgical intervention, then great-do it. However, most of us here have lost weight in the past (like other posters here, I have also lost over 100 pounds before on my own), but keeping it off has been the real challenge for most of us. if you can stack the deck in favor of your long term success, why wouldn't you? The success to complication ratio is so good, that to me, this is a "no brainier". Sent from my iPad using VST
