I am new here and glad I found this group. My husband and I drink socially. I know this surgery will save my life and I am getting sleeved in May. I am worried how this will affect my relationship with my husband? I'm ok quiting drinking. But he is not. He's up for slowing down and he supports me. Since socially drinking is a big part of our lives....what can I expect? I am working to mentally and physically prepared for no alcohol. What about him? I'm excited to uncover other activities we share together. But nervous to let this one go. Will this change our relationship? Been married for 15 years. Please please don't judge me.

Thanks!! I enjoy drinking. We mainly drink at home on the weekends ans grill etx. I live in a foreign country so entertainment is limited. It's going to be strange to figure out what do to now on the weekends. Sounds awful....I know. Good to know I can still be a social drinker if I want. Although I know my taste for it may change after surgery. Thanks for your honesty!!!! Sent from my GT-I9190 using the BariatricPal App

I have read your post probably 5 times!!! Thanks for the honesty. I needed it. You should write a book. Your writing style made me smile. I don't drink caffeine or smoke...so won't have to worry about those habits. Sent from my GT-I9190 using the BariatricPal App Thanks!!! I'm ready to live another 40 years differently. I'm 43..

Oh my gosh!!! I am so AMAZED with the support and information. I literally cried at each post. I'm not someone who reaches out so I feel very humbled. Actually this is my very first post. It's good to know others have shared this experience and your input is invaluable. We don't live near family....we are actually across the world from the US. So the support system we have is just us. It's good to know that I can still be socially involved and have a drink much much later after I heal. I am excited about this new journey and I know (hope) I can focus on a healthier lifestyle. I think I can even drag my husband along. THANK YOU!!!!! Sent from my GT-I9190 using the BariatricPal App
