I agree with you, McDonald's every once in awhile, I think communication is very important, and something like gastric bypass we need all the support, and it is nice that you guys came to an agreement with going out to eat. I wish you the best of luck -

Than why are you telling us that its hard from the temptations, and I never said they couldn't have that stuff just make it easy on yourself, and when they want it they can have it just not in front of you, and I'm talking about the candy, pop, and chips, but obviously not when your eating a meal. Maybe you need to sit down with the family, and let them know that you still crave some of the things, and come up with a plain that could help both sides. I'm not trying to sound mean, but I think and this is my opinion, but it makes it easier, when you do it has a family, and its never hurt anyone to eat healthier, and I would think that your family would do it with you if you asked, and maybe have a couple nights a week, more or less and let them have pizza, and like I said have the snacky food kept out of your sight tell it gets easier, but maybe if you bring your concerns to your family, maybe you guys could come up with a plan, but thats just my opinion -
I had an aunt that had the lap band and left him after she lost her weight, and I think, women in your shoes aren't horrible, but being overweight I think we think that he is the only guy that loves me and so you marry him, but when you realize it wasn't a health relationship, thats when its time to make a change and do it for yourself. I think marriage can turn into a problem when before you might of needed his help, and he feels like you don't need him. I would suggest sitting down with your husband and bring up your concerns and let him give you feed back and let him bring his concerns to you, and try to find something that would work for both of you.

If you are the one that does the grocery shopping don't buy it, and if they want junk food have them go to a gas station and get it, but make a rule that you don't want it in the house so if they want it they have to eat it outside or before they come home -
I'm in the process of trying to get gastric bypass. I have mental health issues, and was hospitalized in December for medication change as I couldn't see my doctor, because she was booked out tell my appointment. Went to a class last week at the end of May, and they told me that it could affect when I could have it. I took my evaluation and the therapist told me I have nothing to worry about. Someone called me from my surgeons office and they told me to call my insurance company to see. So I did, and they said that it wouldn't affect it. Just got a call from my surgeons office saying I shouldn't of called, and it could still affect of me having the surgery, but I'm confused, because how could it be a negative if I needed to change a medication, and how it could be a bad thing. You would think that your taking a step to make sure your mental health stays on track. I also lost more weight than they had recommended, I had lost ten pounds more than they asked. Does anybody have any insight.

I was told you can't take the pills, because they don't break down good they recommend the depo or the iud.
