Defiantly sounds like my situation And good for you for standing up! Sounds like that's exactly what I need to do. Thanks for the encouragement.

@it's not u it's me. Thank you for your candid response and I do agree with you. I have no intentions of cheating on my husband. I'm just very saddened and disappointed. I went thru hell and back to get this surgery and had a very rough recovery. I even lost my job over it because I was not covered under disability at work. But I am amazed at myself to see in just 10 short weeks the weight I've lost and the transformation has been just awesome and so exciting. When my husband met me 8 years ago I weighed 130 which was my normal weight pretty much my entire adult life, wore a size 6 and never in my wildest dreams would have ever thought that by age 33 I would weigh almost 300 lbs after moving to good old deep fried Texas. But it happened. I watched my husband pull away for 7 years and again at one point told me that if i didn't lose the weight he'd leave, once again he never did physically leave but he checked out long ago. So here I am today wearing a size 14 and only 60 lbs away from my goa weight and what do I get from him....nothing...I don't understand...I am happy again, I'm ready to tackle the world, I'm pursueing my dream and enrolling in nursing school but all I get once in a blue moon is "you look pretty". And he says it with no enthusiasm. I guess I'm just not understanding. I did this for 2 reasons number 1 my health and 2 my marriage, to give not just me but my husband back the women he fell head over heals for. He always used to tell me how beautiful i was and took me places and romanced me, he was so in love with me. He says he still is and wants to be with me and makes things better but those have been just words, no action. So as I feel so sexy and alive again I can't seem to get my husband to respond to me. I'm not arrogant or conceited about the situation, just excited and happy son why isnt he. This is what he wanted....I'm so confused and he's stealing my joy...i just don't know what to do anymore. I feel stuck....

When I had my sleeve I weighed 265 and before that I was almost 300 lbs. Now almost 10 weeks later I have gone from a size 22/24 to 14. I feel reborn and like a new person. I'm so excited that I'm getting my old body back. I feel confidant and sexy and alive again, however my husband seems to have very little to say about it. I'm getting a slew of attention but not from my own attention which we all know can be dangerous. I'm I doing something wrong here. Don't I deserve to feel all these feelings. Any feedback would help. Anybody go through this?..

I was sleeved 5 weeks ago. The first 5 days were hell and I cried and regretted having the surgery thought I would never get better. But by day 8 I was back to normal and have lost 30lbs. Good luck to u and keep us all posted.

Go on the internet and look up signs for leak after vsg. The pain I had was on my left side as well. It was horrible but its because that's the side they pull your stomach out of and my pain was from the surgeon cutting my nerves and that was a burning pain sensation. If u have a leak your symptoms would be severe abdominal pain, vomiting and fever. And when in doubt call your Dr or go to the er.

I say you are very lucky with things going so well. You should be thrilled. I went thru 10 days of pure hell. The only thing I would say is stop eating yogurt. You can cause a leak if u don't maintain liquids only. Even if your Dr said its OK I would not drink anything that does not go thru a strainer for 3 weeks. I new of a women who had one spoon of yogurt and caused a leak in her stomach and was in the hospital for 2 months on a feeding tube. But other than that its awesome u feel so good. I was sleeved 5 weeks ago and have lost 30 lbs. Keep up the good work but don't let the fact u feel so great fool u. You had a major surgery so just be careful.

Thank you roadmap

Thank you all for your responses. I appreciate it. I've read all these story's and watched a bunch of you tube videos where these women lost 100 lbs in 6 months. So I guess I expected the same thing.

I am 3 weeks post op and I've only lost 20 pounds. All the sudden at 3 weeks the weight loss stopped. I am drinking my protein and not eating anything that contains fat. I have lost 2 dress sizes but it just seems like I should still be loosing at least a pound per day like I was. I did this surgery so I could get back in the corporate world and to be attractive again to my husband. Am I doing something wrong? If anybody has any feedback please let me know what I can do to go back to loosing the weight. I just want to feel normal and beautiful again. But i must be doing something wrong. Dr says I can't go back to the gym for 5 more weeks so I'm just walking. Any advice anyone?

I swear I'm not trying to sabotage myself or my diet. I already lost 30 lbs but I'm so scared. I was half asleep until I realized what I was doing.

Are u sure I'll be okay. Should I try to throw it up

I am three weeks post op. I woke up in the middle of the night and ate half a hotdog. Am I going to blow up my pouch. Has anybody else eaten something they weren't suppose to. Please answer. I'm scared.
