Congrats on your surgery We welcome all losers here (weight losers that is) Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Glad to hear your ok slow down let your self heal. We all want to get back to living ( nobody more then me) But have to go slow or my wife will kick my butt Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I'm at a stall no weight loss in 5 days bummer. 9 oz of food a day and you think the pounds would just fall off right Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

What does not kill us makes us stronger Does not answer any of our question but sounds good. People grow apart and it's hard to let go. Everyone of my brothers have been married at least 2 & 3 times I'm still on my first and only. Not saying it will last ( I sure hope so) we just try to be real with each other and no bull ship. Nobody will have the answers you are looking for that's something you and your husban have to figure out. My opinion sounds like a jealous husban that wants things his way a fat wife to cook and clean his house and to care for his kids and servise him when He wants it Not what you want what he wants sound curl it is. Things will work out for you it will just take time. Everybody here cares their just trying to help Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

My doctor say yes to some fruits .check with your doctor. I can have apples no skin same as grapes no skin packed in Water no sugars added peaches watermelon Just try a little bit at a time to see how it will sit with your new pouch Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Hang in there people just don't understand what we are going though. I tell all severs that I have had gastric bypass and needed to have my food prepared a special way, they so far don't have a problem with special orders after all its still money to them, and a better tip for outstanding service My problem will start as soon as I return to work Good luck Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Congrats Wecome to the post op side Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Yes I have that restless leg feeling to I'm told it happens when our body's detox. Not by a doctor just from people who think they know everything. Doctor says if it's to bad use children's Tylenol will help it to should pass. I hope soon Good luck Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

My wife the domestic counselor says only you can make that decision to leave. But know this as soon as you leave your husban will be there (saying oh baby I will change) I will do counseling thing will change baby trust me. 7 out off 10 woman will go back for what they call the honey moon period. Then things will return to normal and you will have to leave again. It happen all the time. It's hard to Journy into the unknown. As for kids the younger they are the harder it is for them to understand they think it's there fault. Kids understand more of what's going on then we give the credit for. There is Counseling for them to. Know that only you know when enough is enough. We are pulling for you and your kids And don't let this affect you WLS Good luck Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

It nice to see somebody else has paid attention to detail and has researched the WLS. And took the time to write it out this should be mandatory reading for everyone getting ready for WLS. Thanks Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

All the advice in the world will do no good till you feel it's time to leave. Everyone just trying to help. It just shows that strangers do care. You will know the time. Just don't wait till its to late for you and your children. My wife had no money no job few friends to turn to one day she had enough no more beating no more unwanted sex at 3 in the morning no more name calling. It was the hardest thing she did. Today I have the most wonderful woman in the world she's smart,beautiful and she's nobody's push over any more. You will be alright your time is around the corner Just take care of your self and the kids Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Mami there is a website called www.safehorizon.org they are in New York city they are all over the country they will be able to help you and guide you though what you are going though. Check out their web site . My wife survived domestic violence from her first husban he would come home drunk want sex or food at 3 am then beat the crap out of her Becuse she didn't do it right or wasn't fast enough for him. A year after we got married he fell down 3 flights of steps in a one story building.???? She found the nerve to say enough is enough called domestic hotline and the rest is history. Pleas get help no matter what your situation is be for its to late. Nobody deserves to be abused. 14 years later she is happy a special education math teacher and a counselor for domestic violence she is the one that told me of safehorizon Good luck mami Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

The big incesion is where they had to cut though abdominal muscle and will be the one that takes the longest to heal. If it continues contact your surgeon ? May be nothing more then straining it . Relax take it some what ez keep walking and sipping Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I'm going though the dizzy spells light headed thing now I have found that I haven't gotten enough Protein in. Or need to eat something then I'm fine. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Before this surgery we would have avoided walking any farther then we had to. Now I look forward to walking Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I have seen it all over on myself some in arms, face, legs. It will show sooner or later. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

It's working Congrats Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Something must be wrong with me then I don't feel the need to go at it in a ditch with both my legs blown off. I'm ready but my wife is afraid she will hurt me or I will hurt myself. Plus the fact that Mr happy was not thrilled about having a very long tube shoved down him. Have spoken to doctor about this and all he said was to get over it ( I love my doc he's funny) he even told my wife that 3-4 times a week would help me heal,and help with the boredom. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Sounds like you need adjustment from a chiropractor. Your body is changing. I just got the OK from my doctor to resume monthly adjustments. With out Dr Lowry I wouldn't be able to move. Just something to think about Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

See you just need to find what works for you. Plan water just does not work for me keep sipping Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Some times our loved ones just don't have time for us and our worries. Just let it out here there will be somebody here that will lend a ear and listen. I have been a truck driver for 35 years been all over the country most say I'm a hard ass and ruff my wife says I'm a marshmallow. Having surgery scared the crap out of me. Never had more then a few stitches. I played the what if game made all kinds of arrangements . Thanks to my wife and kids and this Fourm I would have been a neves wreak. I have learned though all this that I sometimes don't listen to my son when he talks to me. We are busy have a lot going on in our lives, slow down and enjoy what's going on around us while we can. Time goes by way to fast and your time will come. Just tell us your problems and we will lend a ear Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

Same here ask a bunch of questions gave me some happy juice I was off to lala land. Woke up in my room farted & burped wanted something to drink and went back to sleep. Problem was they wanted me to wake up and I wanted to sleep. Then they wanted me to walk. Was over before I know what was going on. Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12

I went thoug this with my doctor and that was what he told me to do and not to push it. After 2 weeks post op your still healing inside he said it would get better and it is slowly. Just not as fast as I want. But we must remember we have to re-learn to eat my doctor says It will take time ( or to put it better he is saying I do great work don't mess it up) I love my doctor he's funny Go slow it should get better soon Surgery Anniversary 7/30/12
